Noragami Review

Genre: Shounen, Supernatural

Written By: Hitomi Mieno

Synopsis: In times of need, if you look in the right place, you just may see a strange telephone number scrawled in red. If you call this number, you will hear a young man introduce himself as the Yato God.

Yato is a minor deity and a self-proclaimed "Delivery God," who dreams of having millions of worshippers. Without a single shrine dedicated to his name, however, his goals are far from being realized. He spends his days doing odd jobs for five yen apiece, until his weapon partner becomes fed up with her useless master and deserts him.

Just as things seem to be looking grim for the god, his fortune changes when a middle school girl, Hiyori Iki, supposedly saves Yato from a car accident, taking the hit for him. Remarkably, she survives, but the event has caused her soul to become loose and hence able to leave her body. Hiyori demands that Yato return her to normal, but upon learning that he needs a new partner to do so, reluctantly agrees to help him find one. And with Hiyori's help, Yato's luck may finally be turning around. (https://myanimelist.net/anime/20507/Noragami)

Thoughts: If I am going to rank this anime among with my favorite animes, Noragami ranked up to #3 as soon as I finished the whole anime series. Shingeki no Kyojin is no.1 and Gintama is no.2. I am into fantasy animes and Noragami had the things that I want in an anime. This anime is a combination of Bleach and Soul Eater that were ones my favorite anime before so that's why Noragami got in my ranked lists so easily. In bleach, they are killing hollows in which we can compare it to Phantoms in this anime and In Soul Eater, they are using weapon who were spirits as well. The good thing in this anime, everything is so cool except from the protagonist which is Yato. A God of Calamity who acts like a retarded seal, but that makes the anime so funny. 

                           

(A God who is a fan of a mascot)

I read the manga of this anime unfortunately, it is still on going. Maybe I'll just post another review for the manga version of this anime once it was finished. I am hoping that this anime willhave it's next season soon. Noragami is one of the animes that needs big attention like One Piece, Naruto and Bleach.

The concept of the story is, a God of Calamity wants to have his own shrine and a lot of worshippers. He grants wishes of the people for a 5 yen and plans to build his own shrine. However, he's a God of Calamity, who would want to worship a God of Evil? 

(Yukine turning into a Shinki "Sekki")

Animation: 10/10

Of course! I fell in love with this anime as soon as I saw first scene of the first episode. While I was doing the gifs for this post, I noticed that even for the small transition of the frame, every frame is so detailed, fromthe wave of the hait, the eyes are clear and backgrounds are awesome. Unlike to other animes, each frame is like a scribble. This is definitely a high quality anime.

Soundtrack: 10/10

I WANNA GIVE 15/10! When I am hooked up with an anime, their soundtrack is one the reasons. For example, inShingeki no Kyojin, it's OST are awesome to the point that I downloaded the whole OST albums of that anime. And I am listening to it even though it's just an instrumental music. In Noragami's OST, I already have it in my files! The music makes the anime even cooler. 

(Serious Yato and Yukine in a battle against Bishamon, the God of War) 

Overall: 10/10

THIS IS SOOOO RECOMMENDED ESPECIALLY TO GUYS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A COOL ANIME. This anime is so funny tooo that you might want not to finish this quickly. Unluckily, once you started watching this anime, you cannot stop.
