That's a proper comeback for you, it didn't take several minutes for me to feel as if I've watched Season 1 yesterday.

Gotta love watching them, Supernatural anime.

It was an okay start of this season, but a bit let down about the pacing.

Well let's see what happens next and what this season will offer us!

Love the opening!
Story starts out alright, Yato fixing a small problem.

Wonder what'll happen with Yato and Bishamon, as I recall they had a nice kiss last season (indirect, but still)

Bishamon seems kind of OP with all those weapons yet she had such a hard time kill ing yato last season lol

The flashback kind of gave away more than it should imo. If I remember correctly yato was said to have killed only one regalia, but here he killed a shit load??

Japanese doens't really distinguish singular and plural nouns. It was supposed to be plural from the beginning, but the translators assumed it was singular.

Also, of course she would have trouble fighting Yato, they're both gods of combat!

Bishamon does charity work, huh? Cool.

Kazuma going out of his way to assist in Yukine's ablution ritual behind his mistress' back is finally being alluded to. I was wondering till the very end of S1 how his actions didn't have any repercussion. Although Bishamon laughed it off at this point, it's in all probability going to be addressed again in the future.

Yukine encounters a guy who turns out to be one of them regalia of Bishamon? Oops, I smell trouble.

Most of the comedic moments in this episode were just rehashes of what we have already witnessed in the last season, but they still succeeded at making me smile.

What a great op, and a really good re-intro to the show and characters.
I'm glad I waited so I can binge this in a few days or so. cause waiting for this would have been torture.

A little more than 2 years since I've finished the first season. Kinda forgotten about some things but it's a good first episode I guess. Still totally digging Bishamon.

Good episode. While the new OP is good, I still prefer HelloSleepwalkers and wish they performed the OP instead. Also, good ED.

Yukine is already getting into trouble again why am I not surprised. Also wondering what he would think to know about Bishamon's mansion of regalias; he'd probably be jealous since he really wants friends. I guess the last episode of the first season didn't explain to Hiyori clearly the cost of losing her tail; she still wants her soul to stay in her body? I figured she'd just accepted it at this point.

I don't like the idea that he is still on bad terms with Bishamon after the OVA ;/

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I almost forgot how glorious the first episode of Noragami's 2nd season. Glad I decided to rewatch the entire series. Ugh. Here comes my journey yet again with Noragami. <3

Ugh. And my babe Bishamon slaying. Gaaaaah! I'm so in love with her. <3

IMO, this second opening is way better! It's more catchy and hype inducing.

We get to see the usual Noragami comedy, new characters from the opening are appearing... I feel like this second season is dedicated to the relationship between Yato and Bishamon.

It's been a long time since I've planned to watch this and I've been putting it off for a year or two but now that I've watched it, it's as great as I remembered~ I got personally attached to the first opening but I might like Hey Kids more as the series goes on.

Bishamon's feelings of resentment isn't necessarily out of hatred because there's definitely fear in her eyes as she watched Yato slay a lot of her fellow villagers way back then. It's still surprising that a happy-go-lucky guy like him had a really violent past.

There wasn't much to go for Bishamon before but her selflessness for her Regalia really shone here. It initially looked like she was just some sort of collector who collects spirits to use as playthings save for her favorites but she actually keeps them in a safe and luxurious place out of her own goodwill even if they put a lot of strain to her inner being. She can't have a day pass without soaking in a medicinal bath at this point but at least the others are happy.

Her personal nurse is listening in on Yukine and that other Regalia because they just happened to interact when they aren't supposed to. Hiyori saying that she'll only stick around until she gets fixed is a surefire way of letting Yato not fix her as long as he can kek.

Damn, that opening song is really good. Powerful and fast, fits the show. Looks like Bishamon's servants are taking matters into their own hands, probably with some kind of plan against Kazuma?

Me, commenting here like a week after having seen it.
I liked the case with the baby and the mirror ayakashi, the trio fighting was a good watch as always, althouhgh they destroyed that apartment in the process, lol. Seems like Bishamon is gonna have the spotlight for now; I liked her since the first season, with that cold and badass presence, but this kind side of her makes me like her more, gives her some depth.
Great OP and ED.
Overall, a pretty good first episode.

Honestly disappointed with how season 2 started. One of Bishamon's regalia is apparently working with Nora to cause trouble in general, and while its hinted at that she's becoming corrupted... again, we have yet another god playing oblivous to the issues its going to cause.

Both Yato and Hiyori seem to have relapsed a bit, both in their relationship with each other and just in general. Yato's acting more stupid than he was at the end of S1, and Hiyori is back to badgering him about fulfilling her request to fix her soul/body issue, even though at the end of S1 she straight up says she's gonna stick with him for as long as possible. It was basically a proposal honestly.

And Yukine is back to sulking. Cant really blame him as Yato, again, isnt explaining *why* he has to avoid Bishamon and her followers.

And the animation was weaker too. Especially noticeable in Yato's eyes. They arent as sharp.

Honestly a super weak episode 1, imo.

Anyways It's gr8 to see Yato again...

So this episode felt kinda relaxed you know.....it had that just getting started kinda vibe....Looking forward to the next episode!!!

Woah I didn't expect this episode to end this fast. I can't wait for Ebisu but first comes this arc which has gross things again, but a nice ending.

Finally this opening is here, always loved it, especially the last part. Though I still like the first ED more than this one.

Still, Im annoyed by what Hiyori said at the end. Yato already offered her to cut all her ties yet she refused so don't ask for this again since you yourself refused to do it. Though at the end of season 1, Yato didn't say why she should cut her ties, he just told her to do it so she probably doesn't know that it was a solution to her problem.

They should really just tell Hiyori cutting ties would solve the problem. Then she can make the choice herself

Why does Bishamon gather so many Shinki, no wonder Yato destroyed so many of her Shinki because she was being hurt. Is she stupid?

It's funny coming back to this & seeing how many people were like "eh, the OP was alright" or "season 1 OP was better" (including the very first post), when years later this show is still best remembered across anime circles for THIS OP.

Yes, plenty of Noragami fans remember more than just that song, but this season's OP is now always consistently rated in the best ever lists.

Don't know things will escalate to Bishamon releasing Kazuma (if she even has the heart to) but it seems to be going in that direction.

Also, the baby's reflection in the mirror is actually kinda creepy lol

I think by now Yato should get another Regalia too, so Yukine can have a friend, and also will get the advantage, but he is too broke to keep two.
