Anime 20507 Noragami Suggestion

In times of need, if you look in the right place, you just may see a strange telephone number scrawled in red. If you call this number, you will hear a young man introduce himself as the Yato God.

Yato is a minor deity and a self-proclaimed "Delivery God," who dreams of having millions of worshippers. Without a single shrine dedicated to his name, however, his goals are far from being realized. He spends his days doing odd jobs for five yen apiece, until his weapon partner becomes fed up with her useless master and deserts him.

Just as things seem to be looking grim for the god, his fortune changes when a middle school girl, Hiyori Iki, supposedly saves Yato from a car accident, taking the hit for him. Remarkably, she survives, but the event has caused her soul to become loose and hence able to leave her body. Hiyori demands that Yato return her to normal, but upon learning that he needs a new partner to do so, reluctantly agrees to help him find one. And with Hiyori's help, Yato's luck may finally be turning around.

"Noragami" was actually pretty good to my surprise. Ngl, at first, I was kinda meh about it and almost decided to drop the show. But then, things got real with Yukine’s character, Yato's motivation and I was like, “Okay, now we’re talking.” So, yeah, definitely wait it out a bit if it doesn’t grab you right away. So, if you start watching and feel a bit twisted, just hang in there because it surely gets better.

What I really ended up loving was the humor and the whole friendship angle (also a big respect to the translators and English subtitles, I was laughing a lot). The ...

Noragami

A work that has been recommended to me several times because it is said to be so impressive. At least, people said the manga is impressive.

This anime adaptation had quite an interesting visual and musical style. I really have to admit that.

The actual anime got off to a mediocre start and developed very slowly. It wasn't until Yukine's character came along that the season got a little more interesting. Then it went downhill again and ended with a "not canon end".

In terms of the main storyline, nothing happened in the anime that cannot be blamed for the first season. Different characters and groups were introduced ...

History 3/10

Noragami has the kind of story that attracts in the first ep. and then gets lost in the void. It starts with an interesting and intriguing theme, but leaves all the initial construction to start a cliché novel. From there, starts shooting everywhere: creates characters to try to strengthen the initial idea, but fails stupidly because of poor and insufficient development. The ending is catastrophic, being just a relief in the plot. Conclusion: Noragami fails miserably in the whole central idea, but has some interpersonal moments between characters that "save" the anime from pure failure.

Art and Sound 5/10

There is not much to stand out ... here. It is nothing close to the art direction of the Makoto Shinkai films, the absurd harmony with the plot of the Studio Ghibli films or the touching and expressive character of Sangatsu no Lion, but it is also not to be thrown away. In the end, it is enough.

Characters 2/10

We have come to Noragami's big problem.
At first, we have the protagonist disguised as a charisma just to appear to have some identity. Beside him, a generic dere whose only existential function is to remain beside the protagonist, being used only at the beginning and forgotten by everything else.
After a few walks, they find the third protagonist: a lost boy with a dark past whose narrative function is to be immature and to become mature. The production rushed this one so much that it reminded me of the "emotional and difficult" beginning of Tokyo Ghoul.

This ends the cliché trio of shounen: the protagonist, with whom the majority without a critical sense identifies, the childish friend and the woman. [In common shounens, the protagonist can be replaced by the childish, which matures throughout the anime, and the childish friend becomes the intelligent the charismatic, or the dumb one.]

About the supporting characters, it's amazing how they all have "a past" with the protagonist, what, again, serves as a cover for the problematic plot. The supporting characters are the most superficial thing. They just surge to create a situation with the protagonist, always starting from the "unknown past" with him. The highlight is for the villain: usually, when it comes to the villain, even the greedy studios are concerned with giving some personality, but, in Noragami, he arises from the same "unknown past" as Yato. In conclusion, everything about Noragami's characters is deplorable and shameful, from protagonists made with the utmost laziness to disposable support characters.

Enjoyment 2/10

Even after so many problems, enjoyment is subjective to everyone. Personally, I only say that I slept in the last episodes and found the entire anime a waste of time.

Overall 3.5/10

Noragami is a shame of the modern industry, using and abusing the "wow first episode", cliché and superficial characters, artificial development and a conclusion that makes no sense or is trustworthy with what was proposed. I didn't see anything that was constructive or entertaining in the anime.
