Noragami, as I really liked the anime series, I really couldn't wait to see how the story continued, so I read the manga. Then I discovered there was an OVA. I didn't expect much, as most OVAs are kind of like a filler episode, without much of a story.
This OVA was absolutely great! One of the best OVAs really, and that must be because the OVA follows the continuation of the manga. The story itself isn't much, I think it was kind of like a small filler arc in the manga. Yet it's really enjoyable, it's funny to see how Yato possesses Hiyori, and to ...

The OVA that should not have been. The first episode just fucks up the series royally and after having watched the series it is hard to see that as canon. The second episode is a bit better but in the end still feels off-canon and weird. Also, it includes spoilers since it skips quite a few volumes. If you like Noragami, do yourself a favour and don't watch this till you've watched everything else. Since this review was supposedly still not long enough, I'll have to write some more. I really don't understand for who the second episode of the OVA was meant ... Mar 26, 2014 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 ... Aug 26, 2014 The Noragami OVA's or, in this case OAD's were pretty decent. You all know already OVA's are usually fillers and in Noragami's case that concept doesn't change. While they are fillers they're not bad though, they don't really have continuity with the story but there is enjoyment here. I personally really liked Noragami, and just the same I really liked these OVA's despite the fact that they aren't really story associated. Both episodes take place after the events of the anime i'm pretty sure, and that's actually cool considering OVA's usually happen sometime during the show in between episodes. While it isn't story heavy, the ... Jun 27, 2014 Noragami. The anime full of repentance, emotion, sin, and forgiveness. Of course the OVA will be emotional as well... right? -Overall WRONG. It's hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. An OVA should remind the viewers of the original series. This OVA was definitely reminiscent of the comedy of Noragami, which arguably was one of the biggest parts of the show. So with a score of 7 in Story, 8 in Art, 7 in Sound, 8 in Character, and 9 in Enjoyment, I give the Noragami OVA a score of 8. It's very good, just like the show. -Story Yato possesses Hiyori's body now that she's in high school. (wait, she wasn't in ... Apr 14, 2021 Although i enjoyed this... it spoiled a lot of the 2nd Season of the anime and should be watched after the 2nd season, which means this shouldn't marked as a side story for the 1st season, it will spoil everyone who is misinformed on the series and think they should watch these afterwards. Back to the Review. This was just as good as the main series. The Art style, Character development and the overall enjoyment was very good. Had a more than a few laughs. The VA do a good job at bringing the characters to life and hit the right points (NOTE: I watched the ... Nov 17, 2018 I can't believe it's taken me so long to watch these. Straight off the bat, I'll say that the second episode is better than the first. The first episode, to me, was a sort of give-or-take situation as it didn't really mean anything for the characters or their progression. Before I get back to all that, I wanna also mention that the art is a step down from the usual series' art because these are OVAs. They aren't going to look as nice as the main series, so beware of that. Obviously, the music is always bomb, so that's a given. The second episode specifically ... Oct 25, 2020 These were a fine pair of OVAs and I enjoyed watching them. There is some handwringing in other reviews over the order to watch them and how good they are because of whether or not they are canon, but I'm not really too worried about that. The first one is a little strange because its exact timing is indeterminate. Technically, yes, the second episode can only take place after the first six episodes of Noragami Aragoto, but they're not some big reveals that the episode hinges on, but some context that fills in a few moments. So if you're looking for a correct order for ... Apr 20, 2021 Noragami (Ova) It is a slightly amusing addition to what is happening and is largely based on the "comedy" genre. The implementation of this has been mostly average. It had one or two subtle jokes. What I found pleasant, at least, was that you could see more of the open character style. In principle, I would never reject Yato's screen time. Otherwise, it's an average everyday Ova as you know her. The only strength that Noragami actually has, are mostly sympathetic characters and this is where Ova could score. Among other things, this could be seen as a "Ship" episode for various pairing. |
