The first two seasons were good in my opinion and I enjoyed them alot then when I got to this one it started making no sense all of of sudden they added some of the bad gods in them or something and it was confusing I tired looking around as to the reason or if I missed a an episode the only other thing was an ova that helped somewhat but not really there some people who had said it was better explained in the manga, the first thing I thought did not make sense was how suddenly everyone started remembering who he was and that it was because there had been gods locked in them or that they were possessed and that he needed to marry one of them I honestly I had no idea where all these were coming from it someone could explain it better that would help them they suddenly added his childhood fr…

Actually 5 years ago I finished watching 3 seasons, but I still want to give a review for this series.
I started to miss harem anime like this, because I feel after 2020, harem anime has lost its quality. weightless story, unclear story objectives, poor character development, lack of character motivation, in the end just a place to add to a colorful waifu collection.
If you are new to watching anime, especially the harem genre, you have to look back, especially the ones that were released before 2015. I don't want to lie, "The World God Only Knows" is one of the quality harem anime.
That number doesn't lie, this anime deserves a good score. In-depth story, good character development, the identity of each character is clear, the music is pleasant to hear, and of course comfortable to wat…

As usual I am at odds with the majority opinion on this site.
I did enjoy the first two seasons of Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai, which were mostly comedy and satire.
I haven't read the manga, so this is purely from the observations of someone who watched the anime:
Season 3 begins by introducing a bunch of characters who were conquered off screen by Keima Katsuragi. They all apparently have their own stories in the manga, but we get them as flashbacks in the anime. And it basically continues like that through the season. References to things that never happened in the previous shows, but only have backstories in the manga. Even at the very end, a completely new character pops up that Keima Katsuragi knows by name, but who no one who never read the manga will know who is. Elsie - who is a…

An average anime that looks like a work of art.
Routes games and kisses? Perfect!
The construction of characters, especially Keima, is really amazing. An anti-social character, he becomes a god to the characters around him.
Each episode depicts how evolution character happens at different times.
The fights may be through tedious, but forget the struggles with the beautiful music backgrounds.
Musical backgrounds? We should call the work of musical arts. The Oratorio of The World God Only Knows leaves his very gentle soul. The character design is also good. The traits are not that thing "Ufotable" but leave the well fluid and light scenes.
Anyway, the anime deserves note 9, in my opinion.
If there was a next season, I would watch for sure! And would recommend to friends!

What an amazing ride KamiNomi has taken us through all 3 seasons, and by far season 3 was definitely the best! Sure no part of the plot really makes much sense - making girls fall in love to save the world from the demons? But aside from all that, this anime proves that the harem genre CAN go beyond just fanservice and lousy characters. It is the best harem anime I have seen in my entire life - and it is an absolute MUST WATCH for everyone - just because it's so special (and I'll elaborate why below).
"I can see the ending!" - Keima

Story: 6
The story was a lot more confusing than the first and second seasons because although it was loyal to the manga, that meant it had to skip a lot of chapters and that means we have a lot of random things suddenly appearing, confusing the viewers. Even though the Tenri Arc ended up being an OVA, the stories of the other goddesses were basically a few seconds, and that was only the kiss scenes.
The last few episodes centered around Ayumi and Chihiro were better. It was well developed and a little heart-breaking when Chihiro was very much manipulated. Unlike the other ones, it had major bumps and stops which makes it even more thrilling as Keima was working in a time limit

It has been a considerably entertaining few years as this anime was first introduced into the community, and once again The World only God Knows has changed our understanding of the Harem/Romance genre. Whilst the initial two seasons follows the manga closely and broadens our understanding between Keima's idealistic fantasy and his unavoidable destiny to conquer the "real-life" girls, season 3 would have been an absolute disaster if the continuation of his conquests was not supported with any actual "ending" (Keima's favourite word).
Thankfully, TV Tokyo decides to take the major risk into a timeskip between seasons 2 and 3, and while it may have confused the audience with rapid changes, the entertainment from the Goddess arc truly shined and the adaptation is perhaps no short of outstand…

When was the last time you saw a sequel to an anime and thought to yourself, "this was say better than the previous seasons." Rarely. Am I correct? Well with the third instalment of to Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai franchise, I can promise you that this instalment surpasses the previous two.
The story of this season continues in a similar fashion to the other two, however in this season Keima has to reconquer his former heroines from the past. Unlike the other two seasons, by the end of this anime we get to see hints that Keima will develop a lot as a character, but still remain the same Keima we know and love.
The art of the anime is very similar to the other two seasons. Nothing really changes with each of the characters in terms of design, and art. The art remains phenomenal, I very much…

The capturing god returns in Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai : Megami-hen. This anime, without fail, manages to improve with each new release by carefully developing the parts that were lagging in previous seasons as well as sprinkling some new content on top of an already near-perfect plot. Megami-hen, so far, is the pinnacle of this anime's success.
Keima returns in this season to continue his conquest of lose souls that reside within girl's hearts but due to suddenly changing circumstances his pursuit changes from aforementioned loose souls to goddesses, advancing this anime's already divine tone. As far as plot progression goes, Tenri-hen goes ballistic. The speed of progression is intense, especially during the second half of this 12 episode season. Hordes of new plot devices are introduce…

Story: I thought the story was a good sequel to the others. It had lots of fluffy and cute scenes and also pervy ones. It would've been a perfect story if it wasn't for the fact that Elsie was totally left out, and that just felt wrong for me, everytime I saw Elsie NOT being part of the story I felt guilty. It must be 'cause she was the one that started the story. Apart from that it was just perfectly surreal.
Art: As always it was bright and fantastic, there were some scenes were it looked better though...
Sound: I fell freaking in love with the opening song! It was so cute and modern. :3 dunno...
Character: The characters are almost all known to us and they're quite relatable! Even though it seemed some female characters would just be DDummies (get it?) they did have personalities! I lov…

This is my second review.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KSS's first and second season has much more been a typical harem show and I wasn't expecting anything to change. However things did change and it shocked me ultimately to say the least. The plot started to develop and it was a pretty good one at that.
While the first and second season has been more into how Keima deals with his 'conquests' at trying to make a girl fall in love with him to draw out the loose souls, this final season has given us a perfect and powerful ending to end the series entirely. The build up over the last few episodes gave me shrieks and horrors and literally made my jaw drop. I was being stolen at how a harem show I wasn't expecting much off take a huge turn and turned out to be one of my favour…

It has been a remarkable ride following this series for so long, and looking back at how The World God Only Knows has impacted the anime community, it’s not far off to say that it changed harem anime as we know it. It shows that you don’t need to show girls in suggestive situations all the time to provoke entertainment or emotion into your harem. Sometimes all you need is genuine emotion and intelligent comedic writing to create a meaningful love story. Or, in this case, multiple love stories.
The story has focused on the Goddess Arc, which fans have criticized because it skipped a large portion of the manga to get to this point. This brings up the fact that judging a show based on the source material should always be said: Always consider an anime based on its own merits rather than how…

In an age where Genre,Premise and Tropes define anime.TWGOK shows that great original storytelling could still exist.
TWGOK could have been a mindless moe anime.It could have been one of those otakuism stories like Welcome to the NHK or Watamote to appeal to otaku relatability.It could have been "Dark and Edgey" for the sake of appealing to a superficial undestanding of maturity.
Anime these days have become this giant pandering fest,instead of doing what an anime i feel ought to be doing,drawing people in with their own stories.
TWGOK was an anime that did not follow trends,what started as a deconstruction of the harem genre with a theme of ideals versus reality,finally started to give a storyline that I would call an anime classic.
This show is the standard for character development.…

The first time I heard KamiNomi get third season I'm getting excited. After the luckluster sell from previous two season I'm worried that it won't get any anime. But my excitement fall quickly when they anounce that this will cover Goddess Saga in one cour. This is going to be terrible, this is going to be bad, they going to get this butchered is what cross in my mind that time as a manga reader. But Manglobe prove me wrong and show me how they can cover 70+ chapter into one cour amazingly.
Story : 10
This is covering fan favorite part of the manga Goddess Saga. Even if some part being cut and they cram skipped conquest into half episode flashback in episode 1 they still covered the later part quite faithfully and won't dissapoint manga reader.
Art : 10

Doro,doro,doro,doro,doro,doro,doro...OOOOOH a loose soul is running around, kidding, Bueno no more running around and I'm just gonna present each of my ratings for this third sequel of "Kaminomi" :
Oh and btw, though I may have read the manga, I haven't read all of it yet in fact while writing this review I'm still on Chapter 2, so my review is only for this anime's third sequel.
Story, character, enjoyment- good 7.
Story: Though, it still follows the same genre, it is the introduction of new set of characters, a switch of the secondary main character and a new mission for the main character where this time he's set to awaken the five other goddesses who are called the Jupiter Sisters, totally this anime's new plot reinvents itself to a whole new level. Also, the harem genre has provid…

I feel the Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Megami-hen aka The World God only Knows (TWGOK) really needs two separate reviews. One for people who have already seen at least part of the previous seasons and one for someone who has never seen any.
If you've never seen TWGOK, your missing out. Have you ever been watching an anime where you were thinking "just kiss her dammit!" Have you ever just wanted to reach into the screen and shove the two awkward love birds together? Well, this show is quite satisfying on that level. In fact, if anything, there might just be a little too much smooching. The series has it's flaws, but it is enjoyable and generally light hearted for the first 24 episodes. The stories are good for the most part. The art and sound are also good, if not groundbreaking. Character d…

THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
The World God Only knows, or KamiNomi for short, a series that has been so successful that it has achieved its third season with the subtitle ''Goddess Arc''. An arc featuring a little of complexity and little change in the routine we thought up of Keima. Making a transition of a romantic comedy harem into a really deep drama romantic anime. So let's see what it has to offer.
STORY -9-
The story continues after the OVAs of Tenri were finished. At first it was believed that the story will continue with the conquest of another girls but that is not the case. The story at the beginning it shows us a time skip. A time skip of the other girls Keima captured after Tenri and even before Tenri. Girls like an astronomer, a rich girl, a ramen server, a big sister…

The World God Only Knows is well known for its different take on the harem genre. The main character, Keima, is out to make girls fall in love with him at first to save his own head, but later for more important reasons. It contrasted greatly with the common stereotypical harem series that had an oblivious main character with girls that were head-over-heels in love with him. However, the Goddess Arc, for which this third season is based off of, is the story arc that propelled this series from something fresh and interesting to something that really became something special. While this anime adaptation has a few flaws, The World God Only Knows: Goddesses is mostly able to carry the manga's greatness with it, and rise to become the best TWGOK series yet.
This third season follows Keima as h…

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Megami-hen. (Long titles FTW). As the third installment of this series, many fans who haven't read the manga should probably be expecting what is to be expected of this series. This review is literally after I finished the series.
Story: For those of you who haven't seen or heard of this series, the world god only knows is the story of a gamer who is forced to make girls fall in love with him in order to capture loose souls, forcing them out of the girls' hearts in order to be captured. However, the story of this series is similar, but very different. The story of the Megami-hen series revolves around Keima as his usual self, capturing goddesses, not loose souls. Because of this he must go back to his previous "capture targets" and figure out if they are hosting…

In most harem series, we generally have the guy who seems to be oblivious to certain factors. These usually include girls who are desperate to get the guy's attention with intense rivalries, jealousy, and sometimes even includes violence. But what if that role was sort of reversed? What if the guy in a series is actually seeking the girls themselves? What if it becomes a certain type of game where the guy is the player and the girls play the roles of the conquests? Well, if there's one thing that's for sure...The World God Only Knows is one of those series where it takes the harem trope to a whole new level of experience.
The World God Knows III is adapted from the manga of the same name written by Wakaki Tamiki. The series continues as the third installment of the franchise but has some…
