Honestly I thought this was a decent anime... up until about episode 9. I finished the first season not too long ago, and I found it rather mediocre. I was still a bit curious about how the story would progress however, so I started this season and finished it. My rating of a 4/10 of this anime is really based on my enjoyment of noragami aragoto and how I thought the story went. One thing I had a problem with was the recurring patterns in season 2 that seemed to be too similar to season 1 for my liking. For example, how the end of each season became an "Oh no we have to save Yato" ordeal, and somehow Yato and Yukine seemed to have the same cooperation problems still even though season 1 looked like it resolved them? This repetitiveness made me feel like…

Stupid characters failing to see an enemy right in front of their eyes or focus on an objective, being lead around and falling for tricks they seemed to deal ok with last season; overblown "heart of the cards" or "misunderstanding that takes a 5 min talk to resolve but will remain until the last 5 minutes of the season" dramas - that's what you should prepare for if you watch this.
Well, it's not like there wasn't plenty of that in last season as well, but at least last season it eventually lead to something, had a decent conclusion and so my willful suspension of disbelief was able to cope with it. This season you get ONLY the stupid parts. It's just a setup for a "read the manga" cliffhanger. Maybe it would be salvageable with another season or if you actually read the manga, but I'm ra…

This is for me the best anime I've ever seen well, I know I'm just new to anime but still...
Season 2 is much better than season 1 which was also amazing!
I don't think there is someone that doesn't like Yato, he's soooo funny and amazing! His facial expressions are hilarious!! xD
The story is also great, I've heard that season 3 will come out this winter which made me so happy!
I just bought the manga (1&2) And I can tell that it's a bit different, It starts with something different but I love the manga!!
Yukine is also such a cutie, in the first season I didn't really liked him but he gets much better at the second season!
Hiyori is so beautiful but she looks a bit different in the manga but still great!! I ship Hiyori & Yato soooo much ♥
I can't wait for season 3.
I recommend…

Noragami Aragoto is the second season of the fun, never boring, and sometimes intellectual and deep Shounen anime Noragami.
I'm going to keep this short, because honestly, this isn't "psycho pass"; There is no need for an essay on why this show is good, or whether its worth your time.
This is an anime for people who want to watch something light, something akin to a fighting Shounen, but with a little more depth, far less length, and some cool characters to befriend on the way.
I personally hate Shounen, for the most part. Things with as many episodes as Bleach or Naruto don't need to exist, and honestly, they are basically like soap operas.
So, it was a nice suprise to find out that Noragami is actually quite short. Both the first and second season make up about as many episodes a…

The refreshing new season of Noragami directly starts off where the prequel ended, continuing to follow the interactions and daily lives of the dynamic trio of Hiyori, Yukine, and Yato. As a new season unfolds, new characters, relationships, and secrets are introduced. Past questions and plot holes as seen in the previous season now have answers.
Yato’s infamous line of, “You, who desecrate this Land of the Rising Sun. With the advent, I [Yatogami], lay waste with the [Sekki] and expel thy vast defilement. Rend!” makes a comeback in this season still accompanied by the famous usual track of “Noratan”. However, this season’s OST lineup is far more captivating, emotional, and energetic. The diverse OST has songs ranging from classical, dubstep, electro house, and even rap. The songs are bea…

Noragami is a very enjoyable and fun anime in today's modern anime seasons filled with pretty bad generic ecchi and shounen boy content over and over. It has a very deep underling to the story itself and expands on it pretty well to a point. The soundtrack is absolutely stunning and fits the mood of the story very well both in up and down moments.
Unfortunately the story actually does fall very short to what would be considered a very complete storyline. It feels very rushed and goes from a very good story arch that was continued from the previous season, with the God of War, to a tacked on story about randomly controlling phantoms. This pretty much happens in the span of a few episodes, and fills the role of the climax of the show. With little to no build up to this plot point. It felt a…

Out of all the series I watched this year to this point this one so far was the biggest disappointment. After final episode I was thinking "How could this series turn into something like THIS?".
Detailed information is below.
First, art and animation are on the same level as previous season. Characters are good looking, well animated, backgrounds are detailed. Music is... okay, but it is nothing memorable.
The problem is story and characters. I enjoyed previous season of Noragami because of unique atmosphere. In previous season there was some mystery, there were weird ayakashi, there was some sort of unique feeling of supernatural and unknown.... and there were genuine moments of darkness and tragedy.
In this season, every single thing I enjoyed in previous season is gone, and the whol…

Hey folks, this will be a review for Noragami Aragoto. This second season did better than the first.
The story picks up after the events of the first. Yato and Bishamon are now the main focus of the first part of the story. The old hatred sparks up and events arise that cause these two to fight one another. We get to learn about all the events surrounding them and its a decent arc for lore purposes. It also has some plot holes. The gods(or at least Yato) are capable of teleportation which typically only gets used to quickly skip unimportant events, and never used to solve issues. Gods also feel everything that their divine instruments feel, yet somehow mysteries arise around Bishamon that shouldn't be a secret to her. Maybe I am wrong or misunderstand but it feels like the gods powers ar…

Noragami Aragoto ノラガミ Review
Story (8/10) Very Good
Noragami Aragoto takes too arcs from the manga and adapts them in 13 episodes and as an anime only watcher I feel it was done very well from a pacing stand point. Only one episode really felt episodic and out of place but it wasn't a bad episode to say the least. Although the first arc felt more compelling than the second they both connected well when it came to Bishamon's character development, characterization and her relationship towards the MC. It left the ending of this season with a teaser of what's to come which I felt was a very good cliff hanger and I hope it get's a season 3 to continue it.
Art and Animation (8/10) Very Good
Bones did a very good job animating this season nothing mind blowing but it was still an eye candy…

P.S. This is my first review. So please, bear with it.
Story - 10/10
Still great as always! It started from a "Slice of life"-like genre to a Dark Action theme. More past stories has been revealed, more plot twists will eventually unfold. Well, I can say that the plot "Escalated quickly" *insert that escalated quickly meme here*. I mean Noragami's story line is immediately exposed to the anime, no fillers at this moment. Episode 7's preview made me love it even more.
I was dumbfounded when I watched Episode 8 zzz ASDFGHJKL! I wanna curse but, I can't. The new arc is. just. so. NOOOO!! IT CAN'T BE! NOOOOOOOO!
Episode 11 is just, PLAIN AWESOOME! ASDFGHJK. CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THE NEXT EPISODE zzz I almost died in ****'s speech. But, the ending is such a cliffhanger. It definitely needs a…

I really won't be surprised if I get a mob of weeaboos wearing Yato masks at my door ready to baptize me in the sacred Yato holywater for rating it a 5 but please keep in mind that I actually use the rating system in it's entirety and believe it or not, I don't hate Noragami! This will contain minor spoilers.
Overall I think Noragami is a very overrated series. I really didn't enjoy the first season and didn't realize what all the hype was about. It had a lot of problems - I felt the writing was poor, characters did stupid things that made no sense a lot of the time and the constant abuse of Yato is overused for comedic value but at a certain point it runs dry, and most of all - Yukine.
Yukine is one of the most annoying and whiny characters I have ever witnessed. If nothing else, I appla…

If you are into anime with Plot twist extreme action complicated plot then this anime is right for you this anime is one of the most amazing anime i have ever seen the plot was very nice that after watching you can say Oh wow!! Not just that this anime can really teach us a lesson about life this anime never fails me to get suprised at each episode getting excited.
The opening was really Amazing!!.That ending though is really unexpected that season 3 will surely be more exciting looking forward into it ^,^
Overall: 10/10
This anime was really overhelming that u could feel the same way as the characters did at the story.
I am predicting that Yato and Hiyori will be together unless there are some serious plot twist in the next season.

Regular readers might remember that I dropped the first Noragami back when it aired because my tolerance for shonen action stuff was less then than it is now and I was still in that Jojo phase where everything I see of the genre from here on out would be a disappointment by comparison. However, once I had exited that phase, gained more of an interest in religion (that is, stories that apply religion rather than actual beliefs themselves) so I could understand better why people liked it, and learned of the sequel's existence, I watched the whole thing on Netflix and...well let's just say I got through Nana in the span of a week and despite Noragami's much shorter length, it took me five days to finish it. It had a lot of interesting things to it, but so much time was spent on Yukine's stuff…

A bond between friends of any amount can be strong when you have shared all of your interests, strengths, and weaknesses to help understand one another. Similar to how friendship is portrayed in the story, a convincing company involving people that try to fight off whatever conflicts they must face can be an emotional roller coaster of an experience. Sometimes this can be accomplished by simply adding enough time for us to take in that they have grown together as friends before the inevitable climax. At first, I loved this friendship that Noragami presented in its first season. Now I’ve gravitated towards them in the sequel.
My love for Noragami has always been for the characters. I’ve always loved their charisma, high-energy shenanigans, and the great chemistry that they create from thei…

I had very high expectations for the second season of Noragami and it did not let me down. Aragoto was absolutely amazing! I loved every second of it. In this season, you learn a lot more about Bishamon and her past. You also get to know more about Bishamons regalia, Kazuma, who will most likely become one of your favorite characters. The fight scenes are very exciting to watch. They will have you on the edge of your seats. The next arc has a lot about Yato's relationship with Nora. This was also a very good arc. I also prefer this opening to the first season. Aragoto only made me love Noragami more and deserves a season 3. I definitely will be collecting all the mangas.

Fall 2015 was a season filled to the brim with disappointments. Things like the failed trio of shows developed by Silver Link to other spinoffs and shows that just didn't really get up there in terms of quality. Thankfully, Bones was able to provide us a second adaptation to the Noragami series to make up where the other shows failed or didn't do as proficiently.
Story: Aragato, as I will refer to this second season of Noragami as, continues the story of the our titular main trio of characters, Yato, Hiyori, and Yukine as they continue fighting Phantoms and dealing with various godly issues.
From a story standpoint, Aragato picks up directly where the first season ended, moving onto two more arcs, the Bishamon and Ebisu arcs, where the show puts more focus on those characters rather th…

Amongst the many sequels I've seen from 2015's offerings, the biggest and most welcome improvement I've seen would be from Noragami Aragoto. Even though I still like the 1st season, the fact remains that all we got was a basic introduction the characters before Angsty the Ghost and some boring filler antagonist took over the 2nd half. This time, Noragami brings out the big bats and swings hard, real hard.
On top of doing what any good shonen ought to past the introductory phase by introducing higher stake conflicts (something I felt was sorely lacking in the 1st season) this season gives even more focus to the Gods themselves and what it takes to have that kind of status when imbued with emotions shared by the people that worship theme on top of their flawed ideologies. This, of course, m…

The first thing that could be said about the second season of Noragami is that it is arguably better in terms of story and characters than the first season, yet may lack in other departments. This mainly concerns aspects such as expanding on the world and its phantoms, that were enticing in the afore-mentioned one. It is in fact quite an improvement, and was naturally quite enjoyable; nonetheless, it has its flaws as well, which will be discussed below in addition to its strengths.
~Story~
The story follows once again the main protagonists Yato, Yukine and Hiyori and their interactions with the world; yet in this season it begins to focus on the goddess of war Bishamon. She is known to be kind, which causes her to take in a lot of shinki's when saving them from phantoms: this will natura…

_-*-SPOILER FREE REVIEW-*-_
Noragami Aragoto is probably the best 2nd season anime this year. There is a big deal of change since the first season, for good. To be honest, the first season's second half was slightly off the entertainment level. I wasn't able to dive into the seriousness of the final arcs in the first season. But I am surprised how second season made a remarkable progress in making the plot more interesting.
Story: 9/10
We all have seen Noragami first season and were left with many doubts, mostly related to Yato and Bishamon. In the first half. the second season tackles the back story of Yato and Bishamon and reveals the secrets of Yato, Bishamon, Kazuma, Other Gods etc little by little. The second half deals with the mystery of masked phantoms and also focuses of the r…

When thinking of Noragami, I often imagine the series as some sort of fairy tale. Only of course, it’s a fairy tale in the modern world about a delivery God named Yato. His question to own his personal shrine makes him an unusual character as well. From previously established concepts, Noragami Arargato returns in full force. And I have to say, any fans of the first season and manga will be delighted to see what the sequel has to offer.
The second season takes directly after the first season and we get a full on course of the story from the beginning. Unlike some supernatural or shoujo stories that concentrates on romance and relationships, Noragami Aragato crafts human emotions out of fantasy. The previous season already build a lot about personal conflicts such as Bishamonten’s troubled…
