I knew I was right not to trust that kid… And so we come to the end of another season of Noragami. And so we once again are left to muse on whether we’re going to see more. If pressed I’d say I’m somewhat less optimistic than I was last […] Read more
The moral of this episode? Kanji will always trip you up. They’re damn hard. I’m traveling at the moment so most of the posts are going to be brief ones by necessity this weekend, so apologies in advance for that. I’m glad the Noragami finale will come next week when […] Read more
What’s in a name? If it’s Noragami, an awful damn lot. One thing strikes me about this season of Noragami, and that’s the fact that Yato has been a supporting player for most of it. It’s not as though his name is in the title, but he is the man […] Read more
So – anything interesting happen in Noragami world this week? No, I’m not going to talk about the OST – if you want to discuss it there are plenty of places where you can do so, but I’m not going to let this one degrade into what I’m seeing in […] Read more
Noragami is a series that never hesitates to stare into the heart of darkness, literally or figuratively. In a way it feels like this arc (does it have a name?) of Noragami Aragoto has sort of crept up on me. The Bishamon arc was a big story, no question about […] Read more

Even Gods, it seems, aren’t immune from daddy issues. Noragami continues to be a dark ride. Even when it’s in comedy mode, despair always seems to be lurking in the background, as if these are characters that fate simply won’t allow to have a free pass. There’s a strange kind […] Read more
Don’t worry Yato – size isn’t everything. The Bishamon arc comes to a close (though she’s still a factor in events) and Noragami Aragoto moves into its next phase with an episode that marks a considerable change in tone. As great as that arc was, it was pretty serious – […] Read more
All in all, that arc was certainly worth waiting for. So the Bishamon arc comes to a close, halfway through the second season of Noragami. I have a few issues with that way the final act played out, but on the whole the play was a rousing success. It was […] Read more
Aragoto is pretty much everything you want a sequel to be. Make no mistake, Norogami Aragoto is really good. And it’s good in a myriad of ways – sure, it’s vastly entertaining and that’s ultimately the bottom line. But it also does a wonderful job of expanding the Noragami mythology […] Read more
