This was a little different from what I was expecting after watching the Noragami TV series.

Exactly the same characters show up, but the tone of this story was entirely of the character driven comedy that punctuates the TV series instead of the "serious" tone of the battles and phantom/god issues tackled there.

But the story feels like fluffy filler instead of something that was written to push the plot forward. It does not introduce a new sub plot in the background for a at-this-point-theoretical season 2. Nor does it address any of the hinted future subplots that were introduced in the last ... episode of season 1.

This OAV, or OAD as they call it, actually gives me hope for the series: The writer(s) are willing to go outside of the standard battle manga formula that dominated much of the series.
