Mixed Feelings
I absolutely enjoyed the ride I got out of Noragami. I found it on Hulu and decided to give it a shot without really knowing anything about it, and what I got was pretty fair. I did quite like the characters in the show, but I didn't really get the feeling that I got to know them as much as I'd like. They did pretty well in setting up who is who, who's going through what, but I'm not so sure that I know everything that there is to be known about them.

I suppose that's what you get for going into a show with one planned season, and manga pending. With that, most of my disappointment stems from me just wanting more of it. The art was amazing, and the potential for a storyline is there. The entire first season to me feels like a setup for something more. I'm trying my best to not give anything away here, so it may sound really vague.

Some very small plot points were solved in the long-run, but I didn't think they were serious enough for a show to be based on. It's common knowledge that the main character runs into a god, has a problem retaining her soul, etc. That much is kind of delved into, but everything else that happens is relatively erroneous, just small obstacles. There's no grand scheme, and to get it, you'd probably be best reading the manga afterwards.

In short, if the series continues, my ratings for the story would absolutely be higher. All the other elements of Noragami are really amazing, but there's so much potential here for something awesome, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed by the end.
