Post #6 にほんごのアニメ: ノラガミ

 ひさしぶり! げんきですか。

Over はるやすみ, I took the time to begin rewatching Noragami (ノラガミ). It's an anime that was introduced to me in the Eighth Grade (はちねんせい) by my partner (わたしのかのじょ🥰 ).

This series did introduce me to the deities that exist within Japanese culture, and some of the practices that comes with/from Buddhism. Each of the gods portrayed in the series has a domain in which for they are responsible. 

Even though the series may be entertaining, one of the things that I really liked about it was the tone it took when handling serious topics. The series didn't constantly give off a feel of being a joke or not applicable to our real life. 

I have also found that I learn/notice something new each time that I give this series a watch. It's a series that keeps on giving. 

I wanted to include a series synopsis in case anyone is interested in taking a look at the series.

"A minor god seeking to gain widespread worship teams up with a human girl he saved to gain fame, recognition and at least one shrine dedicated to him." - IMDb

Here are some clips from Crunchyroll's official YouTube Channel: 

This first clip showcases one of the highlights from the first episode. This is one of the many reasons why I fell in love with the series. This clips highlights some of the humor that is featured within the series. 

This second clip is the introduction of my favorite character in the series: Bishamonten (毘び沙しゃ門もん天). She's a representation of the goddess of war and warriors in the series. I don't want to give away too much, but follow her story through the series and she'll quickly become a favorite.

That's it for today's post! I hope you were able to find a new anime recommendation or at least inspired to rewatch an old favorite. I'll see you guys in the next one!

じゃね！
