Nice prank, suits your nick. The thread was asking as to why it is popular and his answer was saying he didn't watch the 1st season and as to how he will pass the 2nd one too! Good one. :D

The manga is good and selling. It could be the worst story ever told, if people are buying it and it's popular, it will get an anime adaption.

Because Yato was a calamity god that, at times of war, was very powerful since a lot of people asked for death. But now, he is changed and is trying to reach the top without being violent (as he was before).
That shift it's interesting.

Anime is generally made to boost the manga sales. If season 1 caused manga sales to increase that'd be the reason. Great shows like Btooom! Didn't increase the sales enough so no season 2 D: Noragami was beast tho ;)

And more. Honestly wasn't that impressive and rushed ending. I hope S2 will be more impressive.

I can see now that the ending was rushed/open ended as they were unsure as to whether a season 2 would be coming their way.
the manga and season 1 anime plot diverges about 12 chapters in, surprisingly, so after reading the manga everything made a lot more sense.

if season 2 is going to follow the manga more closely, it'll be a lot more satisfying than the 1st season. it'll involve much more in-depth plot/character developments.

I'm surprised that it's popular on MAL because I didn't realize people actually ever liked any shows that were just plain good simple manga adaptations without some sort of gimmick attached to them. Then again maybe those are just infrequent.

Because the first season was awesome! The characters are fun and interesting, and the storyline is actually quite good!

Can't wait to see more of Yato and Hiyori! Also I love Ebisu, she is a great character!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

I agree completely. The manga is one of the most original storylines with great plot/character development. The entire season minus the ending is essentially a build up in the manga for what (hopefully) is to come in the 2nd season.

On another note, so many damn cynics on MAL. "Oh, this character didn't act the way I wanted him to for these few episodes so fuck the entire series". Go back to 4chan.

Yes, I admit Yukine did act like a twat in the beginning and the chars do have their faults, but those elements add a sense of realism to the story and more importantly sets up the plot unlike your cliche hero storylines with the likes of Toma Kamijo/Raku Ichijo (and I love ACMI/Nisekoi). You have to see the show in its entirety to pass judgement and watch as it explains where characters' faults/problems derive from relative to their situations and more importantly how they come to terms with said problems/situations. (aka Yukine, a young adolescent boy coming to terms that he will never be "human"). Having read the manga though I have a lot of the details filled in so it's easier for me to be attached to the series.

As someone mentioned - it's fairly casual - sort of reminds me of a sit com but with a twist (having gods in tracksuits, spirits etc.)

solid animation solid voice acting with good action.

the OST is amazing.

it is certainly entertaining and the characters are well designed.

its not the best thing ever but all these things come together to make up for a bit of a weak story to make a really solid 9 anime that isn't some shitty anime like NGNL for example.

I have no idea why people like it. The comedy is boring and unfunny (watch prison school if you want a real comedy)

Action is boring and lack the tension you see from other action anime. If fact, most echii and harem anime I have seen have far better and more intense action.

Animation and visual might be good but those things don't matter if the anime is boring.

From season 1, I was attracted to the art and bright eye colors. I knew nothing about the story.
As I watched, it had some funny scenes. You can find funny scenes in any anime but if it makes you laugh, it adds one extra point to keep watching. So I continued watching and soon enough they touched some really deep emotional topics. The concept of gods feeling the pain of their "shinki" was a nice touch. You saw suffering on two sides of characters. That added more points to keep watching. And the music was really fitting at times too. A lot of elements connected very well and made an overall enjoyable show from different points.
Of course all shows have these elements. It's really a matter of understanding what you, yourself, enjoy. Can you enjoy these elements if they stood alone? Can you enjoy these elements only if they're tied together?

I don't really care if this was hyped or not. I'm watching season 2 because I enjoyed almost everything about season 1.

You seem to focus too much on the action aspect of this series. I guess that really would bore you. But this ain't no ecchi or harem shit either.

The manga is really good, and season 2 is covering some really interesting arcs from the manga. Honestly for me, if I had just stopped at the 1st season and never read the manga, I'd think Noragami was pretty good, but not amazing. But the manga is 10x better and reading it really solidifed Noragami as one of my favs.

Same.

First season is pretty average in my opinion. The fact that only 8-9 episodes were canon doesn't help either. This led people into thinking that this wasn't a very serious anime. Someone just complained that the series doesn't focus much on the MC. It does, and you will see that in the second half of this season. It's just that it wasn't possible to show the best of Noragami in such a short first season. People who have given Aragoto a chance are now seeing that things are getting more serious. And the best is yet to come!

Because this work is fresh as a manga and anime.

It's about gods in a human way, and that make the story a wonderful gem as a show of interesting, sensible and relatable characters while keeping the stakes high enough for the story itself to stay relevant.

Basically, here gods are gods yet they have believable feelings and issues, at least for gods.
It's well pulled off.

Regardless if its popular, the true question is, why does it have an adventure tag?


I have not seen a single piece of adventuring element in this show, not even a hint.

That's true. Well, some recent elements like the fact that they're now heading to the Underwold could be seen as a bit of an adventure. But, after that, there's no more "adventure" elements per se.
