  • Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

Noragami has an interesting story and world. The Japanese culture is also heavier in this series, which I love! The terminology of blight, shinki, and so on is intriguing too.

I watched the anime but it was cool to see the ‘pre-anime story’ bit with Yato and Nora! She acted way different from the anime and I’m not sure which version I like better. But I was most excited for Yukine! I love his Shinki form, name, and what little is revealed about his past in the anime! Season 2 makes me love him more! (If you’ve seen the anime or read the manga, you know what I mean.)

The visual style is gorgeous too. And the designs of the ayakashi are cool!
