How to watch the Noragami series in order

Noragami follows a minor, penniless god named Yato who takes odd jobs for five yen in hopes of building his own shrine. With two seasons and OVAs, here's how to watch it in order.

Yato is a self-proclaimed 'Delivery God' scraping by on tiny offerings while dreaming of recognition. When a human girl named Hiyori gets caught between worlds, she joins Yato and his regalia weapon Yukine on supernatural adventures that balance comedy, action, and surprising emotional depth. The series spans two seasons plus OVAs, so order helps.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order follows the first season, its OVAs, and the second season, Aragoto.

  1. Noragami (2014)
  2. Noragami OVAs (2014–2015)
  3. Noragami Aragoto (2015)

Aragoto continues directly from the first season, deepening the mythology and focusing on the war god Bishamon.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

The story runs straight from the first season into Aragoto, with the OVAs serving as lighthearted side chapters.

  1. Noragami (2014) β€” meeting Yato, Hiyori, and Yukine
  2. Noragami Aragoto (2015) β€” the Bishamon and Yato arcs

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch the first season, then Aragoto, in release order. The OVAs are fun but optional and can be slotted in after the first season or saved for last. Aragoto is widely regarded as the stronger season, but it only works because of the character foundations laid in season one β€” so don't skip ahead.
