I could have sworn Please Teacher was a period piece, much like the rest of Kuroda's Please franchise. Think about it, Please Twins wouldn't have a leg to stand on with DNA testing available. It doesn't help that the third series places Please Teacher at least 10-15 years in the past and that was set several years prior to its production year. It's really hard to tell exactly as Waiting in the Summer really looks like the 70s to me and with Japan, that could be early 90s. Also, all old aspect ratio TV series in standard definition are dated and quaint and not worth my time. Got it. My own complaint with the series, and not just past anime in general, a constant critical crutch these days, is that the most interesting aspects of the story have nothing to do with its "My teacher is an alien and also my wife!" plot. I think it would have been a much better series if they could have kept it to asocial student connects with new teacher due to his own personal health and mental conditions while she herself is unattached, concerned about him as her student but uncertain as how to interact with him, especially as she learns about his condition and the fact spoiler[he was born before she was]. Less wacky hijinks, no alien inlaws and in return, we get more time for additional Ichigo. Nothing but wins. |

The last episodes were anime-original. The anime director said in an interview they chose to focus on Yukine’s arc for that season because its details were vital to understanding the interrelationships between different parties in future arcs, esp. Bishamon’s arc. Because Bishamon's arc began right after Yukine's arc in the manga, there wasn't really any good stopping point for the anime then, plus he didn't want to rush the Bishamon story. So, the director decided to create an anime-original arc, supervised by Noragami's creators, for season closure which also left the door open for possible sequels. Looking back, I believe history has vindicated his decision. The manga is very much a story about interrelationships between multiple parties (ie. Gods and humans, gods and gods, gods and phantoms, etc.) and how it affects the characters on a personal level; a lot of character progression comes from there. |

I pre-ordered My Little Monster the day it became available -- and also own or have pre-ordered the entire manga run. This series is undoubtedly one of my top favorites and NISA does an outstanding job (as usual).

About Noragami; what was published first, the anime, or the manga?

The manga. Unless you mean the English release, in which case I'm not sure. |

According to the Encyclopedia here, the manga dates from December 2010 and the anime from January 2014. In any case, they are not identical.

Prior to those airing in Japan, it was announced that the last arc would be anime original. They introduced an anime only character for that arc.
Really? I find that surprising. Mainly because, from memory, the first chapter of the manga was never animated. And, that was a 60 page chapter too. |
