Synopsis:
Noraneko presents a playful reimagining of the world of Noragami. This series swaps the human protagonists for feline counterparts, retaining the core characters and their familiar dynamics within a subtly altered setting. The story unfolds with a gentle, whimsical tone, exploring themes of belonging and purpose through the lens of these stray cats navigating a world that remains both recognizable and slightly askew.
Expect quieter moments of character interaction alongside explorations of everyday challenges faced by individuals seeking connection. The animation style offers a soft aesthetic, emphasizing atmosphere over high-octane action. Noraneko invites viewers to rediscover familiar narratives with a fresh perspective, prompting reflection on identity and acceptance in a world where the ordinary is subtly transformed. It's an exploration of character relationships within a comforting, slightly melancholic framework.

This is a serious review for the ONA episode of Noragami - Noraneko. Story: 1 Art: 8 Sound: 7 Character: 4 Enjoyment: 5 Overall: 5 As much as I'd like to give it a passable score for being just a 30 second video, they could have at least made the effort of having a visible plot that didn't have to be good.The animation is surprisingly good for such a short skit. Even if it's only still scenes, there were a lot of details added, such as the Depth of Field, The reflection of Kazuma's glasses, the shadows of the trees being distorted by the staircase and the light particles from the godrays. They managed to perfectly hit the point between visible CGI and hand drawn frames.nnI'd say the sound is above average at best. I don't see the point of the child being the narrator, although I must admit the music is very catching, especially the beginning.nnNo character development. It was basically just Noragami characters in chibi form with cat ears. I'm still rating this 4/10 since I get to see Kofuku neko version. nnAfter rewatching this after three times, I couldn't help but feel very neutral. It was pretty interesting but not enjoyable unlike the show, which was hilarious, so it wasn't just because of my poor taste.nnOverall it was a pretty average show. I still recommend it if you could spare half a minute of your precious time, however I don't think you will go around with your Macbook Pro 2013 with this video on showing it to your friends while you're laughing your ass off and replaying it two more times. -

*Disclaimer* Just personal scratch. Advised, possible spoilers. Opinion & Informal Art: 5/10 Advertisement quality art. Layered pieces and layered sets. Animation: 4/10 slide-show style and puppet-joint movement. Characters: 5/10 Same and original. Features a variety of the original series cast.Plot: NA/10 Advertisement. Advertising the release of the Blu-rays and some other things.nnDevelopment: NA/10 Advertisement.nnMusic: 5/10 The OP, advertisement size. Nothing new.nnConclusion: NA/10 Advertisement. Why are these allowed but not manhwas? nnOverall: 4/10 Why is this even a thing? It's an advertisement? It's pretty much stat-padding material. Even for an advertisement it didn't really get my hyped up to purchase any of the products.
