Noragami (Anime)

Noragami (ノラガミ,, Noragami^?, lit. Stray God) is the anime adaptation of the manga of the same name written by Adachitoka. It is produced by Bones which contained two seasons for a total of 25 episodes, with additional OVAs for each season.

Plot

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.

Comments

Comment from Director Kotaro Tamura:

I fell in love with Adachitoka's spirit of service and high aspirations. I hope that this anime will be a bridge that conveys the charm of Yato and his friends to as many people as possible. May you have a chance to meet them...!

Comment from Director Deko Akao:

Comment from series composition Director Deko Akao The more you read, the more you taste. Noragami is full of depth, like the taste of dried squid, and I've done my best to deliver it to you in its original form... or, if possible, as an anime with shichimi mayonnaise. I hope you all enjoy it with a cup of sake (or something similar) in your hand.
