The World God Only Knows


Keima Katsurugi is known as the God of Conquest for being able to conquer the heart of any girl no matter what dating sim they are from. Believing that he is talking about conquering the hearts of girls in the real world he is a sent a message asking if he truly is the God of Conquest, and right after replying a girl shows up named Elsie. She tells Keima that she is a Demon from Hell who has been tasked with finding loose souls that have escaped and taken possession of girls in the real world. The way to release them is to make the girls fall in love with Him. However, after Elsie finds out that his skills only apply to video games, she tells Keima that because contracts with Demons are so strict the only way out is to capture the loose souls or they both could lose their heads.

The World God Only Knows was a lot better than I was expecting. I avoided this one for some time because I read a review that said it doesn't get good until the third season. However, I thought I would give it a try and it was actually really good. It is kind of like a mix of Date a Live and Love Tyrant. However, instead of joining the main character's harem like they do in Date a Live, the girls forget what happened after the loose soul is captured. There is also a lot less fan service in this than in Date a Live and Love Tyrant. The only fan service is a bath scene and a shower scene in episode eight. I would still suggest Love Tyrant and Date a Live if you like Romance anime and haven't seen them though. The World God Only Knows only swears twice. If you are wondering if you should give this a watch I would definitely recommend it.
