Noragami : God's are born because we wished them to be

Synopsis

Yato, a minor god, dreams to become the most revered deity in the world with big shrine and all. However, being a penniless god that he is, he has a long way to go and his shinki leaving him doesn't help matter. Later, when he does his job, a high school girl named Hiyori Iki pushes him out of the way of a speeding bus; unaware of his status as deity.

Things get complicated when this incident triggers abnormality in Hiyori's soul, causing her to make an Astral Projection whenever she falls unconscious. To turn herself back to normal, Hiyori must help Yato becoming a better god who can fix the problem, along with Yato's new shinki, Yukine.

Review

After watching the first two episodes, I thought this is gonna be a supernatural comedy. But then it started to change and finally turned into a dark concept. Gods are born from our selfish wish, and when we no longer have the need of them, they starts to wither away from our memory and from the society. The calamity war god 'Yatto' is one of such. But he still exist because with the people's heart, he is changing too. Those who can't change either cease to exist or dies. At the end of the last episode, there left enough elements to make another season and I look forward to it. I may even start reading the manga too.
