Now I'm very sorry, but I completely forgot about my favorite anime. Oh dear...
(Yes, FayeA told me I had forgotten and so I'm doing this review before I prepare for exams...)
Yes, the final impressions for "The World God Only Knows II"! 神のみぞ知るセカイ
Have to say, it wasn't a surprise when in the last episode of "The World God Only Knows I" that they announced that a second season was to be premiered. Reading the manga, since chapter 1... where you have flying demons, a full-on otaku that turns into a "Capturing God" and conquers girls with loose souls, what can go wrong?
As the same plot follows Season 1, life centers around Katsuragi Keima, an "Otamegane"(Literal meaning of Glasses wearing Otaku), who is able to 'capture' almost any girl in his virtual games. But in real life he hates the "real world", and is extremely unpopular. After colliding with a demon called "Elsie", he unknowingly signed a contract to capture loose souls from hell. Unfortunately, he can't remove them physically, because they are stuck in the crevices in women's hearts. And the only way to remove the loose souls is through making love to them. Keima then uses his "Capturing Skills" in games, and turns into a lady's man.In season 1, Keima conquered 4 girls, Ayumi, Mio, Kanon and Shiori.
Now, in Season 2, it will be Kusonoki Kasuga, Chihiro Kosaka and Jun Nagase.
I will not be like MedusaS and spill the spoilers for all of you...
Plot-wise, TWGOK has a relatively reasonable plot, in relation to why there are demons in the world and why Keima has to capture them. Delivery of the plot was also greatly done. Though more of the direct method of telling you what is going on, the plot isn't too complicated and you'll be able to understand a great deal of it. In one of the episodes, they even made 3 different perspectives so as you understood the epsidoe from all corners! How great is that?
Originality is PERFECT, because I have seen no other anime have a demon capture a human to conquer girls in which it will help save the universe. Though the theme might be romance, it isn't all like that! Keima, through his captures, will help the girls overcome their fears and worries, and after the conquest, the girls will grow up as new individuals.
Well, if we go according to the manga,
I have to say the the anime follows it DAMN CLOSELY, not like those animes where only the name and characters remained the same, but the plot changed entirely.
And of course, TWGOK's plot allows for a third season, but if in the manga, there are 16 girls conquered, 4 to 5 seasons? Wow. Well, since a season 3 has not been confirmed, we will never know whether it will reach such a state.
If you like cute girls, chasing girls, 2d or 3d girls, love-sims, you will like this anime, but, if you are AN OTAKU, U WILL KNOW HOW IT MEANS TO BE KATSURAGI KEIMA. I personally sympathize with him. This anime makes us otakus PROUD to be who we are! (Though I don't play galges.)You can get the fansubs from Chihiro (Same Name as one of the girls!), ColourMeSubbed, Commie or Sarasu-Subs. It has 12 episodes, and premiered from April 12 to June 28
