Review of Noragami Aragoto

I liked Aragoto too, just as I liked the first noragami. I tend to find every series I watch crap, because generally start out too ambitious and then the quality falls down. I found noragami not to be ambitious at all, it has simple premises and almost no ambition at all, it is mainly focused on character development and on friendship, it turns out to be a very nice anime because of that. However, the first noragami is better and more consistent. Towards the end of Aragoto there is some melodrama going on, the Ebisu arc appears confusing and the last 3 episodes are fullof plot holes, with instantaneous invented powers and stuff being made up to make the plot advance (what people call Deus Ex Machina, I think). They also seem to be indicating that there's more story after this season ends, which I confirmed by looking up how the manga was adapted to this, there's way more source material than what's used to make aragoto, and some things are left unclear, suggesting there's a larger backstory than what immediately surfaces here..

The main reason to watch this is the characters and their friendship though, and I think there are good characters and they're well developed. Ignoring the feeling that the story will continue that's left after the last episode as well as the plotholes, I think watching this was time well spent, I loved it.

Also, there's Kofuku-sama and Daikoku. Out of all animes, they're ones that stuck out because of their personality, I loved them.
