Studio Bones took on the film adaptation of the manga Noragami, in Russian adaptation known as the anime "Homeless God". The series is worthy and worth watching, despite the fact that it does not fully correspond to the original. the cartoon comes with a seinen tag, it has a rather serious theme and concept. This anime hooks from the very first episodes. Let the plot not shine with originality, but high-quality drawing, dynamism, a few spectacular fights, and a great soundtrack do not leave anyone indifferent. In The Homeless God cartoon, the characters are well thought out: each character is endowed with his own character, without the typical templates of modern Japanese anime.

Plot description

Besides the familiar world, there is another world inhabited by ghosts, spirits and even gods. Usually every more or less decent god has his own temple and believers who bring gifts and praise him. But what if you are God, but there is no temple, no own parishioners? Fame and fame, of course, too. Who would want to follow such a dubious homeless creature that evencan't take care of yourself? And what to do? Give up the dream of getting into the pantheon of the supreme deities or come up with something for your own good? Small unknown god Yato chose the second way and took into account the realities of our time. Advertising is a great power: distributing flyers and graffiti on the walls help to get orders. The fee is purely symbolic - only 5 yen, but the quality is on top. Yes, and it is easy to contact the executor of desires: just call the specified mobile phone number. Yato is not picky and takes on various tasks from cleaning the room to protecting him from bullying classmates.

One day, a homeless god throws himself under the wheels to save a kitten. A young man is not hit by a car only by a miracle. The name of this miracle is Hieri. A high school student pushes him away at the very last moment, but she herself becomes a victim of an accident. And the consequences are more serious than ordinary injuries. Hiyori is now part ayakashi (spirit) and can develop into a full ghost. To get rid of her newfound gift, the girl asks, of course, for a fee, for Yato's help. The homeless god willingly agrees, but is in no hurry to fulfill the order: he has enough problems and enemies that Hiyori can help deal with. And the boy's soulful ghost, chosen out of kindness, constantly gets into trouble.

"Homeless God": characters and their characteristics

All anime characters, both main and secondary, are interesting and well thought out. First of all, the main characters are attracted, but ghosts are no less spectacular.

Yato

Name of chiefthe hero of the series is translated as "stopping the night." His father's real name is Hiiro, also known as Yaboku.

Handsome blue-eyed young man. He is one of the lower gods of war, but the majority assigned him the "glory" of the deity of disasters and misfortunes, however, this does not prevent him from trying to become one of the best. Yato is a homeless god. He does not have his own sanctuary, so he is little known among people and unpopular among colleagues. The constant walking in a tracksuit and rather rude behavior does not add confidence to a strange deity. But the young man has grandiose plans for the future: to become the most revered and respected god and to acquire his own temple. For the sake of a dream, he is ready to work day and night. It turns out really bad. So bad that Mayu's own shinki has found another owner, and the collected donations (read: hard work pay) are placed in an empty sake bottle. But the young man does not lose heart and continues to draw graffiti with his phone number and an offer to help those in need. Only the elite can see it - those who really need it.

After the departure of the shinki, who served faithfully for many years, things went very badly for Yato. Without a weapon, the young man's strength became much less, like that of an ordinary earthly magician. And who needs such a useless deity? Is that one 15-year-old high school student. And even then, because there is no choice.

Hieri Iki

Life has not spoiled 15-year-old high school student: constant bullyingclassmates, misunderstanding of parents who forbid martial arts just because it does not befit a girl from a decent family. One day, classmates brought the girl to the point that she locked herself in the toilet stall all in tears. It was there that she saw a strange ad on the wall, promising help and getting rid of any problems.

Determining that there was nothing to lose, the girl dialed the indicated number. Imagine Ika's astonishment when she saw the "benefactor" who proudly calls himself a great god. Maybe the girl would have refused his help, but life decreed otherwise, and now this dubious god is her only hope for salvation. Realizing that Yato's strength is not enough, Hiyori does not despair, but decides to help him. In addition, dexterity, strength and speed in her state of ikeryo only play into the hands of opposing numerous dangers. The girl is not embarrassed by the need to find a new shinki for Yato and earn money for the temple. What you won't do to stay human.

Yukine

The homeless god paid attention to the boy during the execution of the next task. The young thief does not remember anything about his past, but is sincerely embittered at the world around him. He envies living teenagers who can do things that are not available to him. However, Yato was able to see the potential in him and offered to become his shinki - a weapon in the fight against ghosts. Yukine does not want to miss the chance, but the past does not let go easily either. The boy continues to lie and steal, which hurts Yato, but he does not refuse him and offers to passrite of purification.

Yukine, though undergoing the ceremony, continues to get annoyed at serving an unknown petty god.

Goddess of povertyafraid to go against public opinion and openly sympathizes with Yato. She is ready to do a lot for him, even to shelter Hiyori and Yukine. Because of his gift to scare away luck and destroy everything, fighting is considered a dangerous opponent. Even Bishamon is afraid to mess with her.
