Anime Review: Noragami

I really loved this one guys okay.
Yato is senpai.

Noragami takes place in Japan and focuses on a God named Yato. Yato is a homeless God and is hardly recognized by anyone. Yato is desperate for people to warship him and notice him and to do so he is slowly building up money by doing various favors to build himself his own shrine. Doing so he rids the world of Ayakashi and meets a girl named Hyori whose spirit can leave her body.

Overall this anime has a lot of perks including a good plot, likeable characters, good humor and some tense scenes which leads me to one of my favorite anime since Fullmetal Alchemist. I originally read the manga first and prefer the manga over the anime but still enjoy both equally the same. It has somewhat frequent nudity which can be disturbing to some (yes, it was disturbing to me) but hardly interrupts the fantastic animation, characters, and plot in the anime.

So many anime/manga fail to do this, be funny without forcing it too much or forcing the plot over the comedy. Noragami has a fantastic way of balancing both to provide such an amazing experience for the reader/watcher and I highly reccomend it. Sure there are some random plot points at times but they still are enjoyable and don't stray too far from the main plot or characters in the series. Also, the characters are all relatable in a special way that I highly enjoy and makes me really enjoy the characters which, in my opinion, is the best part of the anime.
