Both have the same girl to deity plot and the same scenario where the deity has to deal with other deities. The girl in one anime is a weakling, while the girl in the other anime can kick ass. The deity's job in one anime is to protect the girl, while the deity in the other anime wants to be famous because he isn't that popular.
Both plots involve a girl who accidentally falls into the world of spirits and gods, particularly a spirit/god that has a dark/ menacing past...
The same topic: GOD on the human earth.
Fantasy. A little romance.

The same plot where girl meets god and relationships form, except in the old anime the girl is a damsel in distress, while in the new anime the girl can put against an opponent.

Girl accidentally becomes a supernatural entity with guidance (and problems) from a sarcastic, argumentative (but sweet) godly-powered pretty teen, and tagged after by a sweet but slightly broken boy.
Lots of purification rituals to ward off blights and miasmas, lots of toxic spirits stinking up the place; a lot of shared territory with KH.
Silliness + humour + action + hints of romance, and with a surprise darker twist beneath the fluffy surface in season 2 of both shows.
Both anime have a female protagonist who once was a normal girl, but is now dragged into the world of gods and shrines.

Both are about a girl who means a supernatural deity. Kamisama Hajimemashita reverses the roles, so that the girl is the god and the boy is like a "shinki." It's a bit more comedic, though, and more shoujo-y.

Both shows feature a normal girl entering the world of minor deities (in Noragami, the girl becomes a half-phantom and befriends a little-known deity; in Kamisama Hajimemashita, the girl becomes a little-known deity herself).
Both shows feature a romantic thread and have a moderate (IMO the correct) amount of comedy.

It's about japanese gods and shrines and the main characters are both pretty stock standard shoujo protagonists
Both feature the folk culture of japanese religion most especifically Gods and Servants.

If you liked Noragami, then you should check out Kamisama Hajimashita, they both have some sort of Spiritual/Godlike/Demons theme, the main character of Kamisama, Nanami, deals with the daily struggles of being a Godlike figure with the help of Tomoe her familiar and Noragami relates to a regular teenage girl, Hiyori, who becomes a partial Spirit and deals with Yato a God, they both contain a lots of laughter and some romance
The main similarity is that they both involve Shrine gods but Kamisama is more into the romantic comedy type while Noragami is more into action and comedy (though I really hope the romance in the story would progress, that's why I'm planning to see the manga). The characters of both anime have dark pasts (that I shouldn't mention cause it's for you to find out. Don't know what to add anymore so.... Thanks for the time and I hope this helps to whoever is reading it. :)

Both the main characters are deities or "gods".
Both male protagonist have a more savage past.
Both main characters try to become better gods, although in noragami yato is a little more serious about being a huge god.
Both are romances, although the romance development is stronger in kamisama hajimemashita.
Both are comedies.
And they're both a good watch.

Similarities :
1) Both Noragami and Kamisama Kiss main male characters have a very dark past.
2) Both male characters have supernatural powers and abilities.
3) Both about Gods and has shrines and spirits.
But the stories have different pathways. how?
1) Noragami has less romance and more action, thoughts and drama going on.
2) Noragami's main character, which is the God, doesn't have a shrine or a familiar.
3) Kamisama Kiss is more of a comedy-romance show felled with feelings.
4) Each episode in Kamisama Kiss has a new story that may not relate a lot to the previous episode.

Both animes feature gods that are worshipped. Noragami is a bit darker, and Kamisama Hajimemashita is focuses more on the humor aspect of it
One can never go wrong with supernaturals, gods, and deities as part of an epic plot. Kamisama Hajimemashita is lighter and romance-centered than Noragami. But don't be deceived, Noragami has a fast-paced, interesting story line that will leave you gasping for air. That, or the fact that person who voiced Noragami's MC and Levi of Shingeki no Kyojin is the same.

Both are comedy shows about a normal teenage girl having to get involved with the gods. You can also learn a lot about Japanese culture from both of these shows. Both are also seriously funny.

"An ordinary girl gets in touch with the world of Kami&Ayakashi (or God&Spirits) by accident" makes a start for both stories.
Both are mixture of Shounen Manga and Shoujo Manga. Although Kamisama is totally a romantic story adapted from Shoujo Manga, it also has complicated plots about the complex relationship between Kami and Ayakashi (mostly in Season 2). Noragami is the opposite (adaption of Shounen Manga but also contains romance).
What's more, we can know about Japanese culture while watching Noragami and Kamisama as both stories are based on Japanese traditional myths.
both have a deity, both supernatural and both have romance although kamisama hajimemashita is more romantic.
How can you not see the similarities between these two? Both have a girl getting involved with gods and spirits, both have great comedic moments but also serious moments.
If you liked Noragami and felt like it didn't have enough romance KH is for you.
If you liked KH but wanted more action Noragami is just your cup of tea.
I totally recommend both if you haven't watched them already.

Both are about gods and their familiars (in Kamisama) and shinkis (in Noragami). These "creatures" are related to the god and help him/her, live with them and have a strong relationship. Both animes relate a lot to this japanese culture about temples and shrines, which is pretty interesting if you want to learn more about the culture.
If you're a fan of godlike main character and supernatural stuff, than Noragami will sure be the one for you. But do not expect to see as much romance as it was in Kamisama Hajimemashita.
The main male protagonist has a dark past that they try to forget but that does not get into the way of the occasional goofiness. Both male protagonist are dieties or related to dieties. Cat(fox)-like features. Ends up slowly falling for the female protagonist. Will do anything to ensure female protagonist's safety.
The main female protagonist started off as a normal school girl, however due to an accident they have to deal with dieties. Although caught up with that life, they still go to school with two friends who have no idea what is happening. They also try to help out the male protagonist but usually

Kamisama is extremely laughable, there are different fights than Noragami, but here we have gods, Noragami is somewhat more serious than me, but they are very similar. In Kamisama we have yokai, demons that can turn, like Tomoe, who is a fox. Look at it because it really is worth it.
Both have gods, sidekicks, and romance. Both are REALLY funny.

If you enjoyed Noragami as much as I do then try Kamisama kiss, I swear it will not disappoint you. Both are about the gods and the main leads be both lookin fine <3
both have similar vibe ,both r related to deity
-supernatural
-comedy
both of these animes have several same genres,that is action, comedy, and supernatural. Kamisama Hajimemashita is focused on love story and the main character is an ordinary girl. while noragami is focused on action but with a little sweet romance between the main character which is a homeless god and an ordinary girl. the chemistry of love between the main character and the heroine is increasingly being formed with each episode
Noragami and Kamisama both involve gods and other creatures. Both are surprise fantasies where the main characters are in school and "fall in love" with a supernatural being. And both Kamisama and Noragami are fantastic Anime to watch.

They are very similar- in Kamisama Kiss Nanami becomes a god and has a familiar named Tomoe and a sort of romance develops between them, while in Noragami a girl gets sort of "cursed" and seeks help from an unpopular god. A romance also develops between them. They also have slightly similar side characters like Bishamonten to Kuruma or Mizuki to Yukine.
Similar synopsis where a GOD get attached to a girl due to various reasons .
1) Possible love interest with god and another person.
2) God is not as popular as the others and definitely not as rich
3) The main character is a teen age girl, with a dark past/backstory, she is a little native but super sweet and pretty.
4) Fandom is still active on some sites with people still wanting another season.
5) Romance is a subplot
6) Male lead has a mysterious past
7) Both based on Japanese traditional myths

Both story and main plots are based on Deity. One is on shounen aspect, and another is on shojo aspect. But both of the story tries to convey, what would happen if we tried to get close with a Deity.
These are both similar because they involve a world involving familiars and gods. Both are comedies, and while Kamisama Hajimemashita focuses more on romance, Noragami also has hints of romance that might be enjoyed by Kamisama Hajimemashita fans. They also involve high stakes plotlines and putting the characters in dangerous situations.
these are pretty much the same anime, but with reversed roles
-both are fun rom-coms that do not do anything too explicit
-both are about gods and spirits, however both have a unique way of dealing with them
overall a good time if you're a fan of noragami
