AniWorthThe Morose Mononokean II
Introduction
Despite being burdened with crippling debt to the morose Haruitsuki Abeno, Hanae Ashiya has come to enjoy his job as an exorcist. His ability to communicate with youkai has given him a sense of responsibility regarding the magical creatures, and he continues to work hard to send them to their true home in the Underworld.
As Ashiya’s life finally stabilizes, the youkai threaten to upset it once again. Knowledge of his existence has begun to spread, and not everyone is happy to have a human working for the Mononokean, the interdimensional tea room. But one day, a simple visit to the Underworld draws the attention of those in power, and Ashiya soon learns that not every youkai is willing to go along with Abeno's plans.

I honestly never never give such a low rating for anything, but, now... as a fan of the manga, I brought all of their volumes, following through the series and I really loved them, every characters and the plot development... So I will just say, it was a letdown.
When most people enjoyed this anime, from the first season and the second season, I couldn't find myself 'enjoying' through the adaptation, even though I really enjoyed reading the manga.
I don't know if it because of the animation or the pace, it just didn't feel that appealing to me. I tried so hard to bringing myself to watch this because this is my favorite manga. So here I am, watching through the finale. Honestly, I don't mind a slight changes, I won't even mind if they skipped a things or two, but changing their character…

Attention: Spoilers ahead. My review is more or less a comparison of the anime and manga and describes why I'm not happy with what they did with this adaptation.
I'm not sure how to rate this season. I'm stuck somewhere between 6 (fair) and 8 (very good) because I guess that without the manga comparison, it might be better. I'm also reading the manga and I felt a bit shortchanged at some points throughout the season.
They left out some manga chapters entirely, took away from scenes that were very emotional in the manga but were only so-so/had less impact in the anime. I guess that was meant to help keep the episode length but I feel like they should have rather lengthened those 1-2 scenes and shortened other scenes that showed scenery etc.
Example: [spoiler]When Ashiya had been attacked…
