Noragami Aragoto(2015)
This series is suggested for ages 13+ and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include Divine judgment and punishment of humans (similar to God's judgment in multiple Old Testament accounts), Sacrifice and atonement through servitude (parallels to sacrificial system in Leviticus), Covenant relationships between divine and mortal beings (similar to biblical covenants), Redemption through suffering and acceptance of one's fate (thematic parallel to Isaiah 53). We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
