Man where to start, Nurarihyon no mago is one of my all time favorite animes and it's so underrated. I luv the characters, the art, the story and the fights. Nurarihyon no mago is kinda similar to Bleach just more supernatural. It has yokia, demons and awesome fight scenes.
I luv the main character and his goals he 1/4 yokia but instead of harming people he wants to protect everyone
I luv the fights and the cast of characters that help nura on his journey
Overall this is a great series which is super underrated and definitely worth the watch it's way better than most shouens of it's time and even today.
This second season somehow is way better than the already great season 1 and it's just way better.

this is probably one of the most underrated anime i've ever seen. I loved this anime easily one of all time favorites. I just loved the story and characters so much, way better than the first season (that i also really enjoyed) the fight scenes in this seasons were just awesome and the character backstories as well.
This anime has a really cool 2000s feel to it but it aged great. ths series kind of reminds me of bleach, theres shinigamis, demons, and awesome sword fights.
Idk i just love this anime so much lol makes me feel good when i think about it.

TLDR: Loved the characters, sounds, art the theme. Plot wasn't too bad, CONTINUITY WAS ABSOLUTE TRASH. What ever happened between season 1 and 2 is apparently overlooked. I honestly don't understand why the ratings are higher in this series than the first.
***Spoilers to understand why continuity is bad***
The text will talk about Season 1 and 2 and will be posted on both show pages. Oh I don't care to look up many names. They were hard to remember minus a couple characters I loved.
Season 1 was great. I would recommend watching that show. We have a kid (Rikuo) who is struggling with the fact he is about to become an amazing demon clan lord but at first doesn't want to. He simply wants to be human but realizes he has to protect the humans he loves. Demons however, are supposed to terrorize…

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS A SPOILER THAT IS CLEARLY LABELLED
Quite a number of years late to the party, but here we go. The show is a well produced piece of shounen that has some glaring issues that I believe will make or break it for some people. Here's where it did for me:
Voice Acting:
The main character's - Rikuo - VA is terrible - for both seasons (I watched the subbed version). You obviously tell how out of his voice range he was doing yokai form. It has the same strain a lot of female voices have when they're doing a "deep manly" voice. The only time I can take him seriously is when the character is in a heightened emotional state. Anytime he's trying to be "cool" there's nothing but cringe. That being said - the emotional expression is very good.
Aside from Rikuo, Kana, and Yura, howev…

After finishing season one of Nurarihyon no Mago, I was little bored, because the Main character was a coward, and I didn't like him. Even so, I decided to watch this new series. But in the second season, we saw that the main character is wiser and stronger, it was quite different from before. He became a hero, who wants to protect people and Youkais (Demons+, so for me this anime became from boring to pretty good. If you are a fan of anime, like zero to hero, this is the anime for you. This anime is one of the best Shounen Anime of 2011. I've enjoyed it and hope that my little review shows you a bit of how good this is. The saddest thing is that there isn't a third season.

A good anime on its own but as a sequel it took a really wrong direction.
The first season was really something special with its mix of romance, human life and youkai world. This anime, however, ditched all that and became all about the youkai world and strongly resembles your typical shounen battle anime.
Nothing wrong with that, but after watching the first season I was really hoping for more of the same and thus I'm really disappointed.
The main characters human friends went from main characters to side characters which was the biggest downer for me.
The romance aspect was cut down to almost none existent.
The main character's personality was changed from Mary Sue to more appropriate for 12-year old. Which is not a bad thing if it was like that from the beginning. But changing it…

I really got into this anime because I was looking for something short to watch that was on Netflix. After having seen all the other good ones that Netflix had to offer, I kinda fell to this one as a last resort, and it is just fine (6/10) - nothing too special, nothing too bad either.
The story is all over the place - The overall plot follows Rikuo Nurarihyon, a young yokai leader, who tries to bring his demon clan (who actually helps people rather than hurt them) to overcome the evil Hagorome Gitsune, the evil leader of the Tokyo demon clan. The story seems pretty easy to follow on the surface, but man do they manage to make it confusing in the beginning. Since Rikuo, Rinan (his father), and Nurarihyon (his grandfather) all look pretty similar AND the show simultaneously shows their st…

oh my... this is one of the series that surpasses the prequel!!!!
it is action packed with much excitement and great characters. The Nura clan is one yokai clan with lovable but lethal characters. I love Kubinashi, Kappa and Tsurara!!! I just find the ending a bit of WTF!! i did not like how it ended. it should be something more adrenaline pumping sort of ending which would led us to anticipate for season 3 or even maybe another scheme to make us demand for a new season.
That feeling when you are so pump up with the climax but then stopped in an instant?! That's just not it!!!
But it ended fairly, i suppose. and i would love it if they had season 3...

I have to admit. Nurarihyon no Mago was pretty disappointing for me since it didn't feel interesting. Heck I dropped out of it a few time before I finally watched the whole thing. So when I saw Nurarihyon no Mago: Sennen Makyou, I wasn't too happy, but I noticed how the cover didn't have Rikou in his human form, only his youkai form along with his clan and some new characters and I gave it a try. Believe me, I have no regrets making that decision.
Story: This is definitely a lot better than the first season. We have more background information, there is a specific plot starting from episode 1, just perfect. The villain everything is not what you expect. There isn't exactly the typical cliché of "protagonist loosing, remembers something, gets power up, wins". It's a little like that, but…

Here you can see the true meaning of underrated anime.
Starting here, i need to say that first season wasn't really good. But differently from most people i've enjoyed it pretty much specially because of Rikuo's growth. When i watched it i could see a completely different person from the beggining, with more courage to fight and other things.
However in season 2 i felt like the season one was completely shit. Here you have more fights, more strong villains, more ACTION! If the first season could be boring sometimes for being "slow" the second one is completely different! Training, fights, Rikuo's father story, Nurarihyon story... This couldn't be better.
The art on this is pretty solid. The animation itself isn't the best one but is good. Is pretty well done in some scenes. (9/10)

Criteria
Story: 8
Season 2 of Nurarihyon no Mago leads a very similar story to that of season 1 in the sense that Nura Rikou is still battling between his human blood and his demon blood except in season 2 he is more aware and more accepting of his demon blood than he was in season 1. Season 2 of Nurarihyon no Mago can also be described as a ‘Demon War Arc’ as that is what it essentially is a war between two factions of demons. Tono Yokai vs Kyoto Yokai.
In season 2 they also address the specific powers and abilities used by demons, that being ‘Fear’, and the many different ways this ability can be used.
Ending: 8.5
The final episode of Nurarihyon no Mago really does go out with a bang, leaving us satisfied yet also wanting more. With many plot twist that arise in the final episodes of…

After completing the whole season 1 and season 2, I have gotta say that the clear difference between season 1 and 2 , is that the 1st season has lots of comedy side however in season 2, the plot thickens and intensify which is actually good.
I will be giving this story 9/10 but the plot can still be further developed like why is the night so long? I am actually surprised that rikuo classmates are not going on a yokai journey since like they are so interested in them which always put themselves in danger. Not to mention, kana chan which is seemingly rikuo love interest is not really developed in season 2 which is kinda bad yeah.
For the art of this anime, I will be giving it a 10, I mean there is nothing to fault, yokai or ohmyouji are all drawn so well that you can't really choose whic…

There’s a long review coming…………
About the STORY
There are major different revelations from the past and back stories of the main characters. This really makes the storyline way more interesting than the previous season. There is even a look back at the love story of Rikuo’s grandparents. There are exciting mysteries to be revealed all throughout the series until its ending. There are more exciting yokai yakuza clan’s fights over territories or who’s the strongest. And this time, it genuinely feels like one. If we have seen stories about characters using chakras and reiatsus during battles; this time we will see characters using “fear” in order to fight which only befitting for a story about yokai. Using chakras for ninjas, reiatsus for shinigamis and fear for yokais. The action is a lot…

If you like anime that will give you excitement,action,thrill, and awesomeness. this anime is the one for you!
While watching this anime, some moments give me goosebumps. you cant help but think "how did he do that?!", "wow that was unexpected!", "impossible!".
well for me that is. if i put this anime in one word, that would be "AWESOME!"
now lets get to the review:
Nurarihyon no mago: sennen no makyou Story: ( 9 / 10 )
The story was Great. sometimes it get a little boring part where there's talking. but most of the action will make you go "WOW". Unlike the first season they give this one heavy action scenes. The main story will give you a urge to watch episode by episode none stop!.There is so much unexpected turn of events. The time i watched the last episode it give me questions in…

"Can a girl enjoy a shounen-horror-demon-themed-anime?" I ask "Why not?"Sennen Makyou is the kind of second season that makes an anime outstanding. It drove away all the uneasy feelings the first season left, and strongly consolidated into one of my favorites. If I have to say more, I really want to read the manga after this.
//WARNING: This review will compare a lot first and second season of Nurarihyon. Lazy readers better go to conclusion. Sorry if I´m way too biased for the awesomeness of this anime//
Story (10):
SM has one of the most consolidated stories you´ll ever see. All the points that didn´t make much sense on the first season are fully explained here. The consolidation of the Nura Clan, the beginning of the First Nigh Parade of One Hundred Demons, Nurarihyon´s personality a…

I said it before and I will say it again: Nurarihyon is a very sexy Yokai! In Season 2, we even get 3 Nurarihyon! woohoo!
Anyway, i'll make this short. In my opinion, Season 2 is better. I know I scored them the same but I guess i like the theme of the story here.
Season 1 concentrated on the intros and character build-up. Season 2 will be more action, some background/history and more characters. If season 1 was kinda light/funny, season 2 is all business since it is more serious.
The Good:
- Nura Rihan, Nura Rikuo, Nurarihyon
- All Action, Less Kana - Stronger villains
The Bad:
- Very good beginning but it kinda went downhill
- Story feels rushed after eps10
- Ended abruptly
Recommended to those who watched and who are interested to watch Season 1. Looking forward to Season 3! :)

Nurarihyon no Mago ~Sennen Makyou~ is indeed the continuation-- the second season of Nurarihyon no Mago, but this season really differs in overall story and intensity. While you're just gonna stay relaxed and breathing normally watching the first, wait until you actually start watching the second!
The story itself is way better than the first. The first one always focuses on bunch of kids on their adventure on searching yokais, and that sucks. The battles themselves didn't have much of a meaning and many of them were just wall displays-- they ended so quickly without any tension. Everything just remained unclear there and leaves us into satisfaction. Well then, trust me, you'll get the 180 degrees different feeling in this second season. Since the very first catchy episode, we've been hoo…

One of the best Shounen Anime of 2011 no doubt. Do yourself a favor and forget about the 1st season; that piece of shit does not exist.
If you're still in your teens (damn you) and love shounen stuff, then this will feel like a masterpiece to you. If you're old like me (:sadface:) then this 2nd season will make you want to go back to being prepubescent boy again. ^.^
Story:
On the surface, the plot may seem generic to most viewers (ie. good guys try to stop bad guys from trying to take over the world). However, the story behind each characters from different factions is very deep/interesting/engaging making the plot much more interesting.
Characters:
This is the shining point of this anime. You'll find yourself immersed in each character and their backgrounds. As I've said before, they…

Exceptional!! For the people who are reading this your probably sick of hearing this but i'll say it anyway. THE 1ST SEASON WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT, but to be expected! However it did serve its purpose... It introduced all the characters need to know and what the plot may include. However some people have expected something else, but I found it worth while to watch. The first season started slow that why people hate it.
However, if you are still deciding whether to go on and watch this season, I say go for it! You wont go wrong. The story has more depth, more violence, and more exciting battles. Rikou gets trained, and grow stronger as the series progress. The only bad part about this season is that are a couple of "mainstream fillers." Like the episode about some of the Yokai's past, altho…

After finishing the first series of Nurarihyon no Mago, I was a bit reluctant to watch the second series "Nurarihyon no Mago: Sennen Makyou" because the first series seemed to lack a lot of intensity, creativity and overall story. From the beginning I had thought NnM had a lot of potential, but it really disappointed me in the end.
But even so, I decided to watch this new series, the sequel to the first show. And dear god it has surpassed the first series by a thousand miles! I couldn't be happier with it! This new show is definitely more exciting, productive and interesting than the first one by far!
Story: 9 (Great)
If you've watched the first series, you'll know that the main character is Rikuo, who is 1/4 Youkai (demon) and is chosen to be the successor of the Nura Clan. The orig…
