If you want science fiction that respects its own premise, Noragami Season 2 is available on and right now. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. Its 8/10 TMDB score, built from 705 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Hiroshi Kamiya leads a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. Put it on tonight and see for yourself.

There is a reason Noragami Season 2 keeps coming up in conversation. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Noragami Season 2 through its more ambitious moments. Yato and Yukine have finally mended their relationship as god and Regalia. As a minor and unknown deity, Yato continues to take odd jobs for five yen apiece in hopes of one day having millions of worshippers and his own grand shrine. He has yet to fix Hiyori Iki's loose soul, but she cheerily prepares for high school nonetheless. Hiroshi Kamiya and Maaya Uchida lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2015. What separates Noragami Season 2 from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Noragami Season 2 fits the bill. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Hiroshi Kamiya grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
