Bobby never got his reward, as expected.
Good anime, but not as great as some of the postings above make it out to be.
For a story about human beings and gods, the difference between both becomes to foggy, due to all the super-human moves of all human characters. Yes, itīs a comedy-anime, but thatīs not really a good excuse here due to the setting. Ranmaru randomly jumping up several floors, catching the two girls, then landing while shattering the ground. lol
Thatīs honestly part of what made me like this anime so much. Okay, Bobby didnīt get his reward, lol, buuut unlike most other anime, the teasing in this one is way more straight forward and often goes beyond just teasing. Case in point: Bobby actually touching her boobs, or Tsuwabaki seeing her naked. Kinda refreshing ... on a completely perverted note :>
Did you seriously not catch any of the lines by either Ichiko or one of the dieties, questioning whether Ranmaru was really human? It only happened about a dozen times.
Not to mention the times that Momiji gets insulted for using disgustingly mundane ways to try and extract Ichiko's fortune, down to even the level of stuff like, "Hey, look a UFO!" ...[attempts to stab with syringe]. Or the gags where the gods (much like Nyaruko) have equally vain and average interests and get distracted by all sorts of stuff (Yamabuki having a thing for goth visual kei bands, playing off her disheveled bride outfit, a fairly common costume for fans of those bands).
Like DS said, it has never been about Gods vs Humans (particularly when a number of them betrayed Momiji for Ichiko). It's only ever been about Momiji versus Ichiko.
...and Momiji doesn't even really care about performing her task, they showed quite blatantly she is willing to undermine herself so she can continue to torment Ichiko in regular ways.
I think she cares about it a great deal, but just not the way her superiors would prefer. Throughout the show she has been teaching Ichiko the value of others and the few times she got a chance to extract fortune out of her, she made sure Ichiko understood how that fortune in turn helped people around her. Like her clean self said, she wanted to do the job, but not by ruining Ichiko. Even though her dirty self's methods are... dirty, in the end they have only benefitted Ichiko in the bigger picture.
