When i first started this series, i was not very hyped. But i was entertained. For me, it was not something that gives me the crave to watch this specific anime every morning i wake up. I felt like it was predictable. It was ok. After a few more episodes, i started to feel more interested because it took another turn from what i originally expected. It triggers my emotion little by little and i love that feeling.
The character themselves are entertaining to watch. Yato is that type of person or god who is funny and ridiculous but wise and serious at the same time. These characteristics of his are what make him likable in my opinion. Yukine is the special trigger here. His character development is what makes this show worth watching. As for Hiyori, she's just another typical school girl we see in any other animes. I did not expect much from her but that does not make her less interesting.
I won't say that Noragami is not for those who have a weak heart because it is obviously not as heart wrenching as Anohana and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, but that does not mean you will not be moved. I watched this anime because of all the hyped but i definitely stayed for the "plot" plot.
