Divine Services, Budget Prices: A Guide to Noragami’s Hustle God
Noragami isn’t just an anime; it’s what happens when a broke god with zero followers decides to make it big by… running a part-time job hustle. Meet Yato, a “Delivery God” whose services range from finding lost cats to fixing leaky faucets—all for a five-yen coin. His main goal? Fame, fortune, and a real shrine. But for now? He’s a tracksuit-wearing nomad who’ll literally do anything to get noticed. Then comes Hiyori, a high schooler who, after a weird accident, can now pop out of her body like it’s a magic trick. Together with Yukine, Yato’s spirit weapon who’s not exactly thrilled about his afterlife, they form the world’s most chaotic paranormal trio. While other gods are out collecting followers, Yato’s busy keeping himself alive—dodging enemies from his, uh, less-than-peaceful past and dealing with Yukine’s teen angst, which, in Noragami, is basically a weapon of mass destruction. (It’s complicated.) Now, you’d think this is all about epic fights and divine power-ups, but a lot of it is just Yato waxing philosophical on godhood, while Yukine rolls his eyes, and Hiyori wonders why she’s even there. Plus, the gods? They’re like a reality TV cast—snarky, jealous, and not above a little sabotage. And let’s not forget, manga spoiler alert: Yato’s family drama makes Greek mythology look tame. Soooo….. In Conclusion Studio Bones didn’t hold back with the visuals; every scene is cinematic, especially the battles, which are basically Yato going full war god mode—because yes, this goofy “five-yen” god has a scary past. Throw in a killer soundtrack, and you’re in for a treat. So if you’re ready to see a god whose biggest goal is to not starve, spirit weapons who sass their masters, and enough supernatural drama to make you rethink your five-yen offerings, then Noragami is your next binge. Rating: 8.8/10 so underrated. Image Credit: KING Wallpaper.
