Love the comedy in this show. Kofuku is such a funny god.
Looking forward to seeing more.

Sexy "samurai" Yato there!! I think the girl at the end would be the regalia he killed since she has that triangle which signifies ghosts. I'm gonna read the manga :)

Ha! Yes! He does remind me a bit of Gin. Can't say I took to this series straight away but this last episode was excellent. More of the same please!


Gintoki and yato the same.... oh please, now your pushing a lil to far yato is nothing like gin // yato kicks ass what the other doesn't

I love noragami and not gintama
I like them both but i'm sorry i can't just let this slide have you even seen more than a few episodes of Gintama because i can count multiple times Gintoki has done some pretty badass stuff hell almost every major arc he has his moments only difference between them is one of them is a god.

episode it self was pretty good and funny all that suicide scene was missing was Tom Petty Free Fallin

Great episode, I love this anime already :) And I'm so glad Yato does have a dark past like I suspected/hoped he would have. Now it's just hoping they won't leave it at this and will show more of his background and what made him change his mind.
I wonder if the ghost girl is the Regalia that Yato killed in the past?

Excellent episode, loved the turned to the darker side combined with some very good humor.

In a Japan that has a pacifistic constitution, what would a war god do? He would have to find some new worshipers somewhere.

So Nora, my guess is that she is the regalia that he killed, that is why she had the ghost headband; most likely she enjoyed killing a bit too much, and that her insanity both prompted Yato to stop being a war god and was why he had to "kill" her. I am going to be curious to see if we find out just who made the request that Yato fulfilled. Two distinct possibilities are Nobunaga or one of the Meiji leaders.

It would be awesome if Yato was formerly associated with one of the pre WWII shrines, or even Yasukuni, though I doubt this show will get that specific.

Anyway, nice episode really raised my expectations for this show.

Omg I can't even with this show. It goes from unbelievably funny to downright creepy. It also manages to pull off an episodic plot while still foreshadowing the overall main plot that will happen later on. Damn!

Is Yusuke voiced by Miyano Mamoru? It sounded like him.

Looking forward to next episode~ Those previews LOL

That long fall was great. They were so calm while having a conversation, you'd think they'd at least be a little concerned about the nearing ground.

3:57 yato's rape face

12:04 yato's annoying personality

20:16 yato's past… series finally starts getting good

------------------
Overall:
1. Hate Yato's personality cuz it's 80% goof ball-ish. He doesn't take things seriously.

2. The characters had a 7 minute free fall dialogue with a suicidal dude… how believable.

3. The case they helped solved was quick and a waste of time. More focus should've been put in yato's past & the other characters.

4. The cast needs to STOP DOING THESE SMALL BULLSHIT CASES AND DO JOBS THAT ARE RELATED TO THE STORY. DOING THESE SMALL JOBS DOESN'T HELP THE STORY CUZ THEY END FAST AND DON’T' HAVE TIME TO DEVELOP. SERIES LIKE THIS ARE JUST SHALLOW. THEY'RE WONDERING AROUND WITH NO MAIN GOAL IN MIND.

So her full name is Noragami??????

No "nora" just means stray, and that's what Yato calls her. It'll be explained later on what it means to be a stray.

This episode was pretty funny with the fall and all, but I guess it was just to explain that Kofuku is the god of poverty. Not a bad anime original content, but wasn't what I expected either with the small episode count. Yato in the flashback was awesome though, and Yukine was adorable when being praised by Daikoku.

Minor changes to the OP but it's still good.
Dat long fall. Funny as hell. Also good to see more of Hiyori's special moves, I liked sushi roll kick more though.
So Yukine has a crush on Hiyori, who has a crush on Yato, who is Kofuku's 'boyfriend.' Not to mention that near kiss between Yato and Nora in the OP.
Yato = Kenshin?
If this doesn't get a second season I'll fly to Japan and beat the crap out of the staff at Bones. Seriously, 12 episodes is far from enough.

Your anime list says you have only seen 23 episodes of Gintama? if thats true then you know almost nothing about Gin, who is definitely more similair to Yato than Kenshin.

GIN doesnt kick ass? someone has been sleeping while watching Gintama i see... go rewatch it and if you didnt see it at first place dont speak like you know something you dont.

I can't tell if I hate or like Kofuku. Her chara design is very desirable, though. But it was mostly that last scene (where she was suddenly serious and mature looking) that made me kind of lean on the "like" scale. Daikoku was an instant like, though. He's pretty cool.

And dammit, Yato has no sense of style. Who the hell ditches samurai clothes (forgive my ignorance but I have no idea what they're called) for a jersey? THAT IDIOT.

Nora is interesting... I haven't read the manga, so I have no idea about her, but those brands... damn. It's all I can manage to say. Damn.

Would it help if you thought of it as an "image change". Yato is trying to turn over a new leaf and stop being a warring god of destruction, it sort of would help achieve this goal if he wasn't still dressed as one....

Dumb question here. Actually two. Would I be right to say when Hiyori's spirit leaves her body it goes into a dormant like state? If so then, would her body age slower/if at all during these occurrences?

Humm, I have no idea, but logically (in a world where god exists, and people leave their body), she should age during this time because only her consciousness is detached.

This is why if her tail is severed she would die holds true. It isn't as if she has entered a dormant state, rather that her consciousness has entered something akin to the Astral Plain.

Hiyori's pasted face was a nice touch too XD!

Yato mooching off money from the Binbougami lmao. Kofuku, you're not supposed to hand over money. Haven't you learned anything from Momiji or Bin-chan?

So I'm guessing that's the regalia Yato killed?

Gotta agree with Yukine this episode. That was one long fall and the insanity in all of it was hilarious. Hahaha, this show blends comedy so well into the "serious" moments.

Unlike last episode, we actually got some tidbits of backstory. Definitely interested to see what Yato was like in the past. And why Daikoku said it was kill or be killed for gods; it's not like the present time period is much different for obscure gods.

Haha, our little Hiyori here seems to be falling for Yato.
