That was a really interesting episode.
I found Yato to be a pretty awesome character, his interactions with Hiyori were pretty funny to watch, especially the hospital scene, when he startles Hiyori, it made me remember Araragi's interactions with Hachikuji. Speaking of which, Araragi's VA as Yato makes things even better.
The anime looks promising, and the animation's great, Those action scenes were pretty sweet.
The opening's also pretty neat, I really like the song. Can't wait for the next episode.

Winter season started out nicely for me, this looks like a ver enjoyable anime. Yato is awesome and the animation is well done. Can't wait for next week.

The opening song is not to bad. The animations are done quite well and the fighting is quite good as well.

I accidentally watched this, it wasn't on my list of things I anticipated on watching this winter, but ah well. Araragi Kamya Hiroshi was entertaining enough to keep watching. I guess I'll keep going.

Not good, but not bad either. Casting Kamiya Hiroshi is an added plus.

Will watch a few episodes more.

Haahaa. Their next member voiced by non other than Yuki Kaji. Shouldn't we be tired of him instead? He's in almost every anime.

I accidentally compared it to Hataraku Maou-sama early on, and now I'm already secretly hoping it'll be just as good.

reading the synopsis lead me into thinking that the protagonist is a female.. oh thank god its a guy.. I'm just not fond on anime with female protagonists.. especially when theres romance in it.

Since I've read the manga, I think it was a good idea to skip the first chapter a bit in Noragami about the girl who was bullied. I think they might have put that in the OVA (never seen the OVA of it before).

Also, I really like the series, especially the characters. In my opinion Hyori is a likeable Herione and Yato is awesome. Hehe, did you guys see Yato appear in the bin at the ED? xD This episode went quite smoothly and I really hope that this anime would go longer than those 12 episode ones that I've been seeing lately since there was quite a lot of drama in the manga I guess...Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure they'll explain to you soon on why Hyori has that tail, there's a reason for that as well. Can't wait for Yato's next shiki to get introduced :D

That was pretty good. Reminded me of Toaru Majutsu no Index & Railgun. And not only because of MC throwing the 5 yen in the air.

I really liked how the spirits or whatever were animated, they looked really unique. This may be my winter favourite along with Space Dandy and Master of Killing Time.

I wonder if the story will be about how Yato gains popularity as a god?

odd.... the synopsis and the first episode are completely different...

the beginning of the ep showcased a girl that was being bullied, and then yato kills a demon that also made remarks to this girl.

then hiyori, a completely different girl is not bullied and does not see this phone number appears.

is this a copy+paste synopsis for some manga version? or another story? an alternate story?

Araragi, is that you? I see you're still saving girls from apparitions even in different anime.

Ahaha my thoughts exactly!Solid first episode, I already like Yato (I guess that means he's gained another follower?). What's up with that first bit though?

Enjoyable episode.
XD Yato just appears in Hiyori's bed.
"Jungle Savate!" Quite a bit of power in that right leg of hers, lol
"I.. must henceforth locate Milord." lol so fking random that was.
Looking forward to more interactions b/n Yato and Hiyori
I'll watch the rest, solid start to the anime.

It was ok. The comedy wasn't really to my tastes but I thought the action scenes were done pretty well so I'm willing to give it a couple more eps to see if it picks up.

Not bad not bad..

Reminds me of Kyoukai no Kanata.. The girl is quite a bad ass herself and that Yato is like a splitting image of Araragi even his personality.

I also saw some people complain about bad start, comedy not to your taste, or whatever.. I know it's personal opinion but it's just fucking annoying. I bet they're still gonna finish watching this series anyway while complaining every week.

Got it from wikipedia

(yato-no-kami )

The Yato-no-kami (夜刀の神?, "gods of the night-sword") are snake deities in Japanese folklore appearing in the Hitachi No Kuni Fudoki. They lived in Namegata county, in fields near the government office. They were rumored to bring familial extermination on anyone who saw them. Eventually, they were killed by a man clearing the fields, enshrined, and banished to the mountains.

(same yato ? )

wow find a great series! And yeah it reminds me of Kyoukai no Kanata. Hopefully with better characters and plot :)

EDIT: luckily I watch it because my friend recommended it, not because of reading the synopsis in MAL.If I did read that I will black list this anime for sure.

I am in love with the animation! The moment I found out that it had comedy, I was like "Oh, am gonna love this series" and I really did.

Hiyor died doing something heroic, or so I thought until she woke up. She sits at the MC seat!!! Guess, it's nothing to be surprised about. There, I have my badass heroine who is cute, has a cute personality but fights like a champ!

I am in love with this anime 9/10, possibly 10 material
