Relationships in Noragami

     Noragami is another anime that a student in one of my anime classes almost presented.  I never saw

the anime myself, or even heard of it at the time, so I was hoping I would hear about it from a student

(I usually hope that happens - not always the case).   Since that did not happen then, I took the time this

week to watch the anime myself.  The video I use in this reflection doesn't really get into a lot of details

about the show, but enough to get you to watch it.  I couldn't find any reflection videos of the show, so

I consider a video that gives you reasons to watch it yourself a better alternative, as well as giving my

own reasons for why you should it.  These reasons involve how the show portrays relationships.

     The most obvious relationships in Noragami are the relationship(s) between a god and their

weapons, which are known as regalia and are spirits.  Relationship could be plural here because a god

can have more than one regalia.  What interests me the most about this relationship is that what the

regalia does influences their master, or god, even though the god has control over the regalia joining

them.  This is why having more than one regalia, even a clan of them, can be dangerous.  Even one

can be dangerous.  Examples of such relationships can be seen in the anime.

     Other interesting relationships seen in this anime are between gods and humans, which are indirect

for the most part, except for one of the major characters, which the video seems to focus on.  Like the

relationships explained in the previous paragraph, this one develops over time.  For this anime, this

means its two current seasons (not really into OVAs - hopefully, this will get a third season soon that

will continue what the two current seasons talk about).
