It's worth pointing out that only 4 novels are out in English and anime has covered 3.5/4 translated volumes. So there isn't much new content beyond the anime that's been translated. Vol 6 has recently come out in Japan tho.
Dark Gathering wrapped its season finale for episode 25 by finishing adapting chapter 33 and 34. With one scene from chapter 51, but it works well adding the scene to this episode.
Adaptation was fantastic. Art of the anime was never going to match that of the manga, but everything else was executed very well. Pacing was on point, the direction of horror was top notch and balancing out the humor with the seriousness of the plot was so good. Music was awesome. Animation was consistent, which was one of my worries.
This episode really set the stage for the Kyoto arc. And saying Kyoto is next, that's a real tease. I do believe this anime was a hit in Japan, so maybe we will get a S2 down the line. @LordDeathwatch if you want to jump on the manga you could start either chapter 35 or 34 if you want to reabsorb the info Yayoi-chan gave in this episode. As lots of important stuff was mentioned. Anime did well in Japan so another season is very possible and there is enough chapters for 1 cour season.
Regarding the finale itself
I do love in this episode we see how Eiko and Keitaro try to provide to assist Yayoi-chan. Keitaro with a very practical tool. The fact that Eiko went for an idea that Yayoi-chan thought about in the past really showcases how much of a lowkey genius Eiko is. Which can be overlooked given how big brain Yayoi-chan is.
Poor Ai-chan. She is not being tortured even more by that God. Mad props for Yayoi-chan putting her Ai-chan's life over her main mission which is to allow her mom to rest in peace. It really shows how composed Yayoi-chan is.

All I've watched this season:
A Returner's Magic Should Be Special - Finished
The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You - 5 episodes
I'm in Love with the Villainess - 5 episodes
Our Dating Story: The Experienced You and The Inexperienced Me - 7 episodes
16bit Sensation: Another Layer - 5 episodes
Tearmoon Empire - 2 episodes
The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy - 6 episodes
Ever since I got into reading light novels and manga the amount of anime I watch dropped drastically. It's just hard to watch this stuff when it moves at such a slow pace and you never know if it's going to continue or not.

That’s the show with the bird head dude right? I thought it looked so ill when I saw the poster of it, but then I heard it was a VR game and it kinda ruined it for me.
