Why the OP of this episode has more animation than before?

So far, I get the impression that this anime show is what KyoAni wanted Beyond the Boundary to be(a really good dark atmospheric anime show with action & comedy).


Yeah this anime definitely reminds of Kyoukai no Kanata at times... but I wouldn't really say this has a dark atmosphere. I really wish it did, and was expecting it to, but was sadly disappointed.

It has dark atmosphere, but not mature-themed. Just like Blast of Tempest, Beyond the Boundary, Durarara!!, & many more.
I like anime.

Wow, Kofoku looks exactly like Momo-chan and the fact that Aki Toyosaki voices her helps a lot. @___@

Whoaw! That Kofuku chick seems like the happy-go-luck kinda character! ;DDD And her pink hair is perfect for her personality! Hope she stays the same throughout the eps!! Would be too bad if she's hiding something! >__>

Yukine is just so cute~~ I just can't get enough of him!!! >///< For some reason I find him to be so charming and such a cutie pie!!!! (*⌒▽⌒*) Especially when he remembered Yato's words!!! He must have been really grateful!!! ^^

Oh, that girl Nora....why is it that it seems as if she was either left behind by Yato or killed by him?!!! O_O I should probably read the manga to find out! =_=''

I can't wait for Yato's past to be revealed!!! Seems like he had to make some very hard choices in order to stay alive (= to be a deity, I mean!) Why is it I get the feeling we should get ready for some really painful memories of his!!! T~T It was so cool when he got so serious talking to Hiyori! I love this side of his!!! (^ω^)

All in all, great episode!!! I love this anime!!! Looking forward to the next ep and to the blushing face of Yukine!!! He's making me want to ship him and Hiyori!!! XDDD

Edit: OMG!!!! I just noticed that Nora is the girl that appears together with Yato from the past in the opening of the anime!!!!!

Dat fall was way too long LOL.

Kofuku! It's so great to hear Aki's voice that kind of character. Reminds me of Yui.

Yato x Hiyori! I approve.

Just a heads up. IF you watched some of the subs. Yato doesn't call that girl by a specific name. Yato is calling that girl a "stray". Its was why the stray asks Yato to refer to her using the name he gave her. But he remains silent.

I won't go into more detail cause it's spoiler. It's just that some of the Subs didn't accurately change Nora to stray cause they thought it was her name when it's not.


MrNTR said:
Nora? So she's the namesake of the show? Or whatever it is that's the meaning behind her name.


Nora means stray. It's not her name. Its a spoiler to explain it right now.

Noragami means straygods.

Great episode.

When I saw Kofuku I thought Momo from To love Ru. They made the right decision choosing Aki as her voice actor.

Yato had an interesting past. Was surprised to find out that he killed a Regalia.

This episode pretty much had a bit of everything. Yukine is moe.

Just started this series after reading a recommendation for it. Great series indeed. Quite funny that he had to run from those spirits in the first two eps till he got a regalia, yet he turns out to be a war God. And like others pointed out, that freefall and story was hilarious.

And seems a safe bet that Nora is the regalia he once killed. That triangle she's wearing that spirits always wear seems a give away. Did all the killing impact her forcing him to kill her? Glad to hearing Rie Kumigiya voicing another non tsundere character.

About nora


Yato did mention her being "in use" back in episode 1. And she seems to have a lot of 'shinki names' (those red writings on her body) suggesting she serves more than one god. so it's not exactly a spoiler :)

Seems like a future plot point/twist to me. I also noticed that Hiyori's reaction to Yato having a girlfriend was quite interesting, though Yukine's reaction was expected.

Great comedy in those scenes as well. You get immersed on the guy's back story that you forget he was falling.

I wonder who this Nora is. Could she be Yato's hidden shinki?

It seems that I'm the only one who thinks this anime is so boring with horrible plot. The anime lacks any serious story, and "comedy" part is not funny at all (it is not like Sora no Otoshimono for example). Maybe I will watch one more episode and then I'll drop it if I don't like it.

Well I get that the comedy here isn't outstanding but you think that the ones in sora no otoshimono are good? o_O talk about an idiosyncratic taste... Well anyways, I did read the manga and don't want to spoil you but it does get more serious later on :)

That was a great ep, this one is probably my fav anime on this season.
Kofuku was cute, and that was a long fall indeed LOL.. Yato's past though, i've got a thing for characters who had brutal past like that actually, LOL.
Nora appears! Lol'd at Yukine on next ep preview xD And oh, looks like Sawamiyu's character(Bishamon) will made an appearance on next ep. Can't wait.
