Is it just me or is Aragoto's overall animation worse than the first season's?

I'm not saying that the animation is terrible, everything still flowed nicely and the cinematic parts where Yato, and all the other gods, destroyed Phantoms looked great; but overall, I just felt like there was something missing.... Maybe its because I just got done with One Punch Man and then went straight into Aragoto? I dunno, I just feel like this season's animation paled in comparison to the first season's.

Hmmm,.. well, I felt season two was somewhat pale in comparison to the first season in general, but I never really noticed the animation that much. Maybe you're right though. It's probably because of all the action and close ups, we got to see less of the world as a whole.

Loved a lot of the moments in particular the first half. I think the second half of the season had its own moments as well. 8/10. Season 3 please. "I am Yato!"


Same here.

I'm probably going against popular opinion saying that I was a bit dissapointed in the second half, especially after all the "Ebisu arc" hype. Too much action and not enough character for me. Yes it was emotional, but i have seen emotional done much better. I actually also missed the slapstick. Without its reliance on strong character and its combination of serious themes and comedy, Noragami is just another dime a dozen anime for me. Finally, this season left a lot of loose ends, which would have been less of a problem if they'd done more than barely scratching the surface. As it stand now, things like Kugaha's "return" and Yato's father seducing Hiyori, seem pointless to have been introduced this season.

It's a bit of a shame since I really liked the first season, got really excited for the second, and thoroughly enjoyed the Bishamonten arc. I even watched it all when it aired, then put it on hold after episode nine, since I just couldn't be bothered when I got back from vacation. The whole Ebisu arc just didn't had me hooked as much.

7/10 Overall
