So I was planning on watching Noragami but I couldn't find if people preferred the dub or the sub. I usually do watch anime subbed, but if the dub is above average I'll check it out.

Basically, what do you prefer? When a goofy Japanese hipster faggot God sounds like a goofy Japanese hipster faggot God or when a goofy Japanese hipster faggot God sounds like a whiny teenager?

Watch the original version

Definitely sub. You can't miss the EPIC voice acting of Kamiya Hiroshi.

It depends on whether you prefer dubbed or subbed. The dub for this anime is absolutely above average if you're wondering.

I would agree with this. The fact that some people may watch a show for a particular person's voice, when they're voicing a different character, is something I find so strange.

Sub, because in the dub, Yukine sounds like Elmo and goofy had a kid and then that kid's testicles finally dropped after her hit puberty.
Also, Yato sounds way too old.

The SUB IS SUPERIOR, by a wide margin.

I am by no means a sub-purist, and I do not push subs because I think they are "always better". There are many dubs that I have enjoyed and even prefer (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Baccano, and Ouran High School Host Club were fantastic dubs).

THAT BEING SAID, *please* accept my completely unbiased recommendation to watch the SUB. It is LOADS better. Yato's Japanese voice is absolutely hysterical, as it should be. Yukine actually sounds his age, and Bishamon sounds like a proper war goddess.
The dub is....pretty sub-par, in my opinion, and that's coming from someone who usually tries the dub first, if given the choice. Yato's and Yukine's voices sound far too similar to me in the dub, which makes me uneasy. Though, oddly, Yukine's voice sometimes sounds almost older than Yato's. Also, nearly everyone sounds like a jerky teenager and any emotion seems way too forced. Honestly, I've watched abridged episodes on YouTube that had comparable, or even superior English voices. So yeah, in this case, I highly encourage everyone to enjoy the perfection that is the original Japanese cast.

If it helps you to put in in perspective, Yukine and Yato are the same voice actors who did Eren and Levi from Attack on Titan (another clear-cut case of the sub being waaaaayyy better than the dub).

I honestly love both. I think Jason Liebrecht did a good job on being Yato but I definitely prefer Hiroshi Kamiya. I recommend the subbed version. The Japanese cast is perfect.

Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's.
Noragami is the best anime ever.

sub. The voice acting was miles better and I didn't like the dub VA for Yato.
