Noragami Aragoto is probably the best 2nd season anime this year. There is a big deal of change since the first season for good. To be honest the first seasons second half was slightly off the entertainment level. I wasnt able to dive into the seriousness of the final arcs in the first season. But I am surprised how second season made a remarkable progress in making the plot more interesting. https://smediacacheak0.pin.com/736x/78/b4/e4/78b4e49298cb20407e93c16ef2fee861.jpg Story: 9/10 We all have seen Noragami first season and were left with many doubts mostly related to Yato and Bishamon. In the first half. the second season tackles the back story of Yato and Bishamon and reveals the secrets of Yato Bishamon Kazuma Other Gods etc little by little. The second half deals with the mystery of masked phantoms and also focuses of the relations between Yato Yukine and Hiyori. Still there are plenty of things which are left untold which we can expect them to be shown in the 3rd season when it comes out. https://i.yt.com/vi/fKjLTYdV6Vw/maxresdefault.jpg Art: 10/10 Noragami and Noragami Aragoto has been animated by the studio Bones which is very well known for its remarkable art in the anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Soul Eater SpaceDandy Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 etc. As expected of Bones its art in Noragami is also smooth colorful and remarkable. The character designs are another plus point of Noragami series. The characters are drawn so well I cant even imagine anyone else replacing them in any way. Their designs are the perfect match for their personality which makes them so much likable. https://i0.wp.com/data.whicdn.com/images/202035161/large.gif https://38.media.tumblr.com/85ea1fd51d6ae20282e3a1b14217cbed/tumblrnxeru6YgW31qjluivo1540.gif https://smediacacheak0.pin.com/originals/72/01/78/720178ca16bfaedbc7fce0cc8c3de2e8.gif https://i2.wp.com/pa1.narvii.com/5803/d6336d26acf48001f058ef9e03bf21ae766094dehq.gif Sound: 10/10 Noragamis opening song Hey Kids by THE ORAL CIGARETTES is a BLAST Theres no way anyone can deny me with this point. While everyone may not agree with me the ending song Nirvana by Tia is another great song and the visuals and the lyrics adds more to it. While Noragami 1st seasons soundtracks were already good there has been a great improvement in the soundtracks in the 2nd season. The number of soundtracks under different situations have been changed increased in number and has become more suited to it than before. The soundtracks played during battles sad scenes happy scenes etc. makes them even more interesting and fun to watch. Coming to the voice actors many famous and insanely talented actors like Kamiya Hiroshi Kugimiya Rie Fukuyama Jun Sawashiro Miyuki Ono Daisuke Kaji Yuki Hayami Saori Toyosaki Aki etc. gave an amazing performance which makes Noragami deserve a 10/10 in terms of Sound. https://animetop10s.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/nal1.jpg?w=640h=360 Character: 10/10 The male protagonist of the show Yato is my most favorite of all the characters. Not just from Noragami but Yato has become one of my favorite character of all the anime and thats because of his cool attitude wicked sense of humor and his seriousness when it is needed. Other characters like Bishamon Kazuma Yukine are also pretty likeable for their own unique personality. While most of you will disagree with me I feel that Iki Hiyori is also an important character which adds some spice to the story. Due to her caring and loving nature she is also pretty likable. And the fact that there is almost zero percent chance of her of being in relationship with a god Yato makes us want to know more about their relation progression. Enjoyment: 10/10 For me the first season of Noragami was like 10/10 in terms of enjoyment but the second half was like 7/10. With more interesting plot Noragami Aragoto has exploited the curiosity of the viewers and made this season worth a watch. Definitely 10/10 in terms of enjoyment. https://i2.wp.com/13.deviantart.net/8d8b/i/2014/084/4/0/rendernoragamiyatohiyoriandyukinebypanelletdelimond7bm62q.png Overall: 9.8/10 If you really liked Noragami first season then Noragami Aragoto is undoubtedly a must watch for you If you are like me who liked half of the season and the other half of the season was meh then you must give the second season a shot and you will undoubtedly be satisfied with it. And if you didnt like Noragami first season at all then theres not much helping it better skip this season. https://i2.wp.com/data.whicdn.com/images/202117448/large.gif https://i1.wp.com/thedailyfandom.com/wpcontent/uploads/2015/10/tumblrn33mvtgZLQ1svv0fgo1500.gif https://smediacacheak0.pin.com/originals/fe/e0/bd/fee0bd4ef3e04db91a4ec63b8bec61e2.gif
