Okay so maybe this is a stretch, but the art styles are very reminiscent of each other. Hold on though, that's not the only reason I reccoment Noragami. See, I'm super into shoujo manga and anime, but every once in a while I venture (barely) outside my comfort zone. For all you shoujo lovers out there, both of these shows give you the same kind of feeling and keep you interested, even if its not about the love life we all dream about. Go watch these! 

Durarara!!

Durarara!!

Looking for a change, Mikado moves from the countryside to bustling Ikebukuro to attend the same high school as his best friend, Masaomi. Though navigating a new school and friendships can prove tough by itself, Mikado also finds an overwhelming number of new delights and dangers in the district he now calls home. From a friendly Russian sushi bar to the violent color gangs, to even an urban legend in the form of a black motorcycle rider, each resident of Ikebukuro is unique and frightening. But the town is smaller than it seems at first, and these strange events appear to be connected. Will the growing storm sweep up the transplanted country boy and his friends or will Mikado find himself at the center of a dramatic change for Tokyo?

Both series involve main characters whose personalities and past aren't what they initially appear to be. While Durarara has a slightly darker (and more faceted) story, both animes have supernatural aspects in the setting of a modern day world.

And their opening songs have a similar music style.

If you like one, you'll probably like the other.

Yozakura Quartet and Noragami deal with supernatural entities and their relationship with normal humans.

Both focus on fun supernatural action.

I think that if you liked one you'll probably like the other.

The next day, the teen's dream becomes reality when the girl – Homura – arrives at Mitakihara Middle School as a transfer student, mysteriously warning Madoka to stay just the way she is. But when she and her best friend Miki are pulled into a twisted illusion world and meet a magical creature named Kyubey, the pair discovers that magical girls are real, and what's more, they can choose to become one. All they must do is sign a contract with Kyubey and agree to fight witches that spread despair to the human world, and in return they will be granted a single wish. However, as Homura's omen suggests, there's far more to becoming a magical girl than Madoka and Miki realize...

Both involve magic being used by people to protect the world from evil all in a world they really cant see and no one really knows. Both are about people who get dragged into a magical world people cant see but once they see it all they want to do is stay and help

Both Noragami are comedy-rich animes centering around otherworldly things.  The main characters are both young girls.  Although if you are looking for something a bit more serious, go for Noragami.

This may be a bit of an odd one, but hear me out!While Blood Blockade Battlefront (B3) is set in the USA, and Noragami is set in Japan, both share some similarities that may draw viewers into one or the other.To begin with, both B3 and Noragami have gorgeous, fluid animation that really bring their respective settings to life. The fight scenes are dynamic, and characters show personality through body language as well as just talking.Both series also have got the creepy eldritch horror thing going on. Noragmi revels in the weird, shadowy imagry of its phantoms, while B3 has a delightfully bizarre population of monsters casually going about their business in New York. B3 is perhaps less purposefully creepy than Noragmi is, there is still plenty of weirdness in both to feast your eyes upon.Finally, Noragmi and B3 both feature a fun and eccentric bunch of characters, with wacky personalities bouncing off of each other. Both series also succeed in making viewers care about their colorful casts, with emotional moments hitting just as well as humorous ones.So, if you love fun action anime with a delightfully weird twist, and you've already seen Noragami or B3 - by all means, check the other out! I doubt you would be dissappointed.

While Noragami has a llot more action there are a lot of similarities between the 2 main female characters. Both shows have a ton of heart and emotion and both shows deal heavily with Japanese Gods. I also found the comedy style somewhat similar.

Noragami and Myriad colors, both involve the supernatural; the main characters use their special abilities to fight off the supernatural. They have their serious moments, as well as their funny light hearted moments. Along with Beyond the Boundary, they have a similar vibe to them.
