Originally announced as going into production back in June, the site for Noragami has gone live and revealed the first key visual for the Bones animated series. After doing the artwork on the series for Alive: Final Evolution, Toka Adachi has been doing an original work of their own since the 2010 release of Noragami. Toka Adachi is actually a pair of female creators that have combined their names to make this particular pairing work, which is something that tends to be missed but is an interesting aspect of it. Noragami has had its seventh volume of the manga released earlier this year and it contains a wraparound on it that indicated that the series will be getting an anime adaptation in the future. Kotaro Tamura is directing the series based off of scripts by Deko Akao.
Please note: This post was originally labeled as “Fall Anime Series” – We misread the translation information. More details will be revealed in October for the series in Monthly Shonen Magazine.
Plot concept: Yato is a minor god whose dream is to have a lot of followers worshiping him and praying to him. Unfortunately, his dream is far from coming true since he doesn’t even have a single shrine dedicated to him. To make things worse, the only partner he had to help him solve people’s problems, had just quit the job.
His godly existence and luck just might change when he stumbles upon Iki Hiyori and saves her life; a feat which also leaves her in quite a predicament so she is stuck with him until her problem gets resolved. Together with Hiyori and his new partner-weapon Yukine, Yato will do everything he can to gain fame, recognition and just maybe, one shrine dedicated to him, as well.
