Review of Noragami Aragoto
There are spoilers in this review. Honestly I thought this was a decent anime... up until about episode 9. I finished the first season not too long ago, and I found it rather mediocre. I was still a bit curious about how the story would progress however, so I started this season and finished it. My rating of a 4/10 of this anime is really based on my enjoyment of noragami aragoto and how I thought the story went. One thing I had a problem with was the recurring patterns in season 2 that seemed to be too similar to season 1 for my liking.For example, how the end of each season became an "Oh no we have to save Yato" ordeal, and somehow Yato and Yukine seemed to have the same cooperation problems still even though season 1 looked like it resolved them? This repetitiveness made me feel like I was watching a different route of the show, seriously lmao. I also had a problem towards the end of the show dealing with the Underworld. It feels weird just having all of this new stuff being brought up casually out of nowhere in Season 2 as if there was reference of them to season 1, like the God Colloquy, the Underworld, and the Heaven Punishers. Oh, and the fact that the only way to save Yato was for a person from the Near Shore to call out his name? Man what are the chances. Also, I'm pretty sure the fact about Hiyori's request was brought up once, in the beginning of this season, which kind of confuses me because it was one of the whole focuses of Season 1 but I could also understand that, in a way. This may seem like a lot of rambling, but I actually thought the show was pretty enjoyable in the beginning, until it became too predictable (excluding the random events like the Colloquy).
