The World God Only Knows: Goddesses Arc! Episode 1! [Review]


The God of Conquest is back! “ヽ(´▽`)ノ”

It's great to see this series return! It's a bit confusing in the beginning trying to remember everything that's happened since I saw the first 2 seasons at about 8 months ago. Since then, I've been reading the Manga! (ノ゚▽゚)ノ

Admittedly I'm surprised and a bit disappointed that they had to skip so many arcs from the manga. However I actually find this to be rather reasonable because if they had covered every arc in the manga, we probably would have been looking at 2 or 3 more seasons (3-4 more years at least) before we would have even gotten to the goddess arc, so I'm ok with the way Manglobe is handling this.

Thought there were a lot of changes, the pace was fast for the first half as well, but they managed to cover the necessary info needed for the arc. Even if they condensed almost 60 chapters in a small flashback, the actual content that did get animated was handled very well ヾ(^ ^ゞ

The problem about this is that non-manga readers will have to try to be invested in characters they know nothing about. Though, I have a good idea to cover up the missing arcs, they could make OVA's or more hopefully, even a Movie! ヾ(*д*)ノ゛

As for the episode itself, everything looked really smooth and nice and the OP was catchy like the previous seasons. The interaction scenes between Apollo and Kanon were nicely done! And that scene where Kanon confesses to Keima was just adorable! Judging from Lune's appearance at the ending, I've assumed that Fiore has been replaced by her.

Overall, a fairly good episode for starting the new season! And as always, I'll be looking forward to the next episode! ヾ(゚∀゚ゞ)
