Kamisama Kiss OVA

The original profile of funny fillers (which were a class below at one point) were somewhat awkwardly combined both with episodes with the subtitle Kako-hen, which make up the shortened third season, and the final Shiawase ni Naru. I would prefer to see all three profiles, because emotionally all the actions could not be more different, but I can't have everything. Paradoxically, the complete four-part excursion into Tomoe's past, which boasts decent production, is the weakest of these continuations. It does tell a crucial chapter, whose pleasantly romantic reveal has been blinking at us for some time, but surprisingly often it deviates from the central syrupy character. When Tomoe, in his demonic version, fiercely attacks the defenseless Nanami and her only reaction is embarrassment that it doesn't suit her at that moment, I was shocked and wondered where the creators had gone in depicting love. Fortunately, it was only a momentary hesitation, but slight disappointment never left me. As for the OVA, which falls between the first and second series (and therefore is the least important story-wise), I could almost laugh myself silly the whole time and surprisedly place it among the funniest things that happened around an inconspicuous shrine. And finally, the final farewell, albeit in a brutally short duration, serves as a tender, sensitive, and not only because of that, a very touching waving goodbye to this crazy gang. The genre shooting in all directions may have had weaker moments, but I enjoyed the stronger ones even more. (02/15/2018)
