Norgami, in my opinion, is one of the best series that has been released this season. The story is of a god called Yato, who desperately wants to get his very own shrine. However, this means he has to do hundreds of tasks for people until he can afford his own shrine (and with a cost of 5 Yen a piece, that's a lot of jobs). One day while looking for a missing cat, he stumbles across a girl, Hiyori Ika, who saves him from being hit by a bus, being hit herself. Because of the accident Hiyori's soul now constantly slips from her body. Asking Yato for help, the pairs lives become intertwined. The series is animated by Bones, who have brought series like Full Metal Alchemist, GoSick, Soul Eater and Darker than Black to our screens.
Taking a modern day twist on a god story is nice, and with interesting characters and great animation, I expect a lot from this series. Recommending it is a definite, if you like your classic Shonen Jump series, or liked any of the other series Bones animated, you can't go wrong with Noragami.
