Does anyone know the song that was playing in this episode it had auto tune and rapping in it. I was just wondering if maybe it was Lotus Juice who was rapping that song and also the title too, thanks!
Signature removed. Because it was too kawaii for all you weeaboos.

Great episode!

I dont know why but somehow I expected Yukine's character to be like that, instead of being just an innocent "uncorrupted" boy >_<

Awesome OST
Pretty good episode first half dragged a little bit but the second half defiantly did a nice recovery.

Thoughts:
0:37 excellent fan service with excellent music

3:08 those purple baggy school uniforms are so unattractive that I wouldn't go to that school

5:45 so that explains why babies cry… cuz they can see those freaky spirits

7:20 that sound effect sounds like it came from a 7 second opening sequence of any Sunrise anime like Gundam

8:57 yato is so full of himself. It was funny in the last episode but seeing it again just gets annoying

17:56 how can yato see that lil yellow light from that far?

18:39 epic music here

19:22 even more epic music here. Sounds a bit awkward but seeing those images made it appropriate. What an intense trance this scene put me in. Very awesome scene

22:29 after all the cheesy lines yato says, he gets denied by his sword. Great stuff

-----------------
Overall:
1. Idk what it is but there this 'vibe' that makes this show attractive. Maybe it's because of Hiroshi Kamiya, the voice actor of Yato or maybe Iki. I really want to drop the series but they're keeping me in it.

2. Don't like the OP song. Those visuals really mess up the eyes. Supercell ED song is alright.

3. The scene at 19:22 where yato gets his sword and sees those images… that moment was like seeing the entrance of Levi from episode 9 of 'Attack on Titan.' Both scenes are past epicness. You watch anime for those moments. It's been awhile since I've felt that way. Nice to see that it's in Noragami.

Ep2: 9/10

Everything still looks and sounds great. It seems like Bones might overdo the comedy like they did with FMA:B (not that I'm complaining though). 5/5
What I don't get though is who exactly can see Yato and who can't? Hope they provide a good explanation in later episodes.


everyone can see yato, but he is hard to see. Its like a random person in a crowd, he is there but you dont notice.


I am referring to the time when he was talking to Hiyori in the park/whatever.
There was clearly no one around(no crowds) and people still didn't notice him (they said Hiyori was talking to herself).
Then he goes and works for someone..

because it hasn't been explained that the only people who can see him and his advertisement are people having problems and seeking help ^^,

Oh okay, that makes more sense.
Now that makes me wonder what kind of 'help' did Hiyori need when she saw him the first time.
This should be covered later in the series I guess, so no manga spoilers please :)

8/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

No clue on how Hiyori did it, even from manga.

Pretty sure next episode will continue the explaining of how the world works though.

Really awesome episode. Those were some great action scenes, and the OST was simply amazing. That's a really cool shinki he got, it's an awesome weapon.

Can't wait for the next episode. And for the opening, too, which is pretty sweet.

All jokes aside, I really liked this episode and the OST was very good as usual.

Probably, one of the best series I've seen in years centering around japanese folklore and monsters. For the looks of this I'm probably expecting something Bakemonogatari or Natsume Yuuyinchou level. The OST is pretty solid and creates a well managed pace during the whole episode without merely being on the background. Most people here noticed the music by itself after all. Great decision to put a boy as Yato's Shinki instead of a girl, which would have been the most obvious choice. This will make the series direct more toward the characters instead of fanservice or romcom.




Hiyori is still there but her role won't probably develop toward a romantic one. Her sensitivity is there to help direct the series toward a more "human" side.

Reflecting on my fanboyism I must say I've allways liked Kamiya Hiroshi's work as a seiyuu since Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

WHY ARE THE BEST SHOWS ALWAYS FUCKING 12 EPISODES!!?? Drives me mad.


Aye, allways happens, very sad. Though I got the feeling this will become bigger. Natsume Yuuyinchou and Bakemonogatari started as halve season animes too and look how long they's become.

Yukine was so cute in his phantom form. When he turned into his human form, he was adorable...until he opened his mouth and turned out to be a brat.

Slower than the first but still good. I'm hoping for some crazy background story on the "fluffy-fluff" scarf. Also Hiyori is a cat in my eyes.

I heard the Soundtrack will be released the 19th feb.

Could anyone make a hq wallpaper for triple monitor 5760x1080 (screen captures, each 1920x1080 side by side) using the 1st shot we get from Yato holding the katana and 2 of the frames from the flashback of Yuki, please? And possibly a single 1920x1080 screen cap of Yato's blue eyes? Please <3!!

Ps: I use surround + 1 accessory monitor.

This anime is so gorgeous and the song that played in this moment is so electrifying I love it.

Yes yes yes about the OST. Friggin' boss. Great balance of seriousness and humor. I think Yukine's coldness to Yato will only be initial, if the ED is any indication, and I thought it was hilarious how Yato reacted. Yato's faces are great.

Awesome ost, visuals, and hilarious. Yep, I think this is shaping up to be my favorite of the winter.

The VAs for Yato and Yukine are Levy and Eren from SnK, so that's a bonus too. Going to be amusing with that in mind.

Yuki is a really fun character, not only because of his attitude towards Yato, but also because they always use him as a fanservice for girls, I mean they keep undressing him in every chance they get in the manga :X


Which is weird since Yato is the better looking one out of the two of them...
