Noragami is back in the conversation this week — not with a new season, but because the manga's creators, the duo known as Adachitoka, launch a brand-new series, Yadoya no Oinu-sama, in Monthly Shonen Magazine on October 6, 2026. That's the nudge a lot of people needed to finally start (or restart) Yato's story. Here's where to watch it, the order to watch it in, and whether it holds up.
Quick answer
Noragami is a supernatural action series animated by Bones, based on Adachitoka's manga (which concluded in January 2024 after 27 volumes). There are two seasons — Noragami (2014) and Noragami Aragoto (2015) — plus OVAs. Per SenpaiRanks, the first season sits at 7.77 and Aragoto climbs to 7.94, making the second season the higher-rated of the two. It streams on Crunchyroll and HIDIVE, with regional availability on Netflix and other platforms.
The pitch
Yato is a minor god with no shrine, no followers, and a five-yen dream of building an empire — so he takes odd jobs for pocket change, writing his number on bathroom walls. When a high-schooler named Hiyori pushes him out of traffic and knocks her own soul loose, the two get tangled together, and Yato picks up a troubled spirit named Yukine as his weapon. It's funnier than that sounds, and then, in Aragoto, it gets a lot heavier.
Watch order
It's refreshingly simple:
- Noragami (2014, 12 episodes) — the introduction.
- Noragami OVAs — short side stories, optional but fun.
- Noragami Aragoto (2015, 13 episodes) — the Bishamon and Yato's-past arcs, and the high point of the anime.
The anime adapts a chunk of the manga and then stops; if Aragoto leaves you wanting more, the completed manga is the only way to finish the story.
Is it good?
For a supernatural action show, yes — Aragoto's 7.94 on SenpaiRanks puts it in the upper tier of the genre, near the level of the shows people reach for when they've run out of the obvious picks. The read our dual-axis score gives you: broadly liked and it holds up, with the second season doing the heavy lifting. If you're deciding between this and the other Bones supernatural heavyweights, our best Bones anime ranking lays them out side by side.

The read
Noragami sits in good company. If you want more supernatural-action after Yato, our best supernatural anime board ranks the field, and Tokyo Ghoul and The Summer Hikaru Died are natural next steps. And here's the SenpaiRanks pitch: our number is only as good as the crowd's. Open Noragami's page, rate it, and you help decide whether Aragoto deserves to climb past 7.94.
