Review of Noragami Aragoto

Season 2 of Noragami comes with a surprising number of arcs and character developments that makes Yukine's arc from season one seem like a little bump in the road. Plot 9/10 The season follows two main storylines both very emotional. Bishamon and why she hates Yato, Ebisu and his end goal. Bishamon got the lion share (pun not intended) due to getting more screen time and because of the personal connection she has with Yato. Still, both were very interesting and rather heavy emotionally. Characters 10/10 The characters change as the story progresses yet they remain themselves. Not an easy thing to do while keeping the character 3-dimensional(one-note characters are not in this series). Each has his or her own motivation and reason for how they act which is just good writing.

Art & animation 9/10

Artwork is beautiful, character designs distinct, animation smooth. I don't usually notice music but here it's hard not to.

Fun factor 8.5/10

Noragami is a heavy and emotional series. It has a few light moments here and there but not enough I think. I made the mistake of binge watching this and I really needed a breather between the two story arcs.

Overall 9/10

Season 1 was great but season 2 packed in so much more. Overall this is a cult classic for a reason and you really should watch it at least once.
