Hello eveyone,
Here we are again for a new review about a harem/comedy/romance manga/anime series named "Kami Nomi Zo Shiru No Sekai" ("The World God Only Knows" for the english users) written by Tamiki Wakaki and serialized in the Weekly Shounen Sunday.
Let's start up with a synopsis :
Katsuragi Keima is known on the net at the Capturing God, while in real life he is an otamegane who hates all real girls. However he is approached by Elsee, a devil from hell, to help her in catching runaway spirits that hide in people. Apparently the spirits only hide in the hearts of girls and the only way to get the souls out is by making the girl fall in love so the spirit gets forced out. Keima must capture all the spirits in the world so that his contract with hell ends.
This is a pretty interesting story, at least in some way different than your classic romance story out there.
The only downside of this story is the separation of the series between little arcs, one for each boss (girls), making the series highly episodic.
The characters are many, but likable...if only you got enough time to know them...
There isn't much growth in the characters as they are not present on the focus of the story for long. (2-3 episodes max)
The graphical department is high quality and the animation is consistent in all the episodes till now. I say till now as it's planned a second season of this anime to air later on.
The seiyuu in this series aren't pretty famous and sometimes you get a character with a little hateful voice, but mostly the quality is quite high. Opening and Ending are cute, but nothing exceptional to talk about.
My favourite character in this series is maybe at the moment Shiori Shiomiya, the librarian. But I'll reserve the right to decide when the second season complete airing too.
Concluding, this may not be an anime for everyone, but if you like comedy/harem/romance story and you'll pass on the episodic nature of the series, you'll get your load of fun watching this.
Now let's go wait for the manga shipment (hopefully it will be here today, in the worst case tomorrow) so that I can prepare some material for the big post when it arrives.
See you soon,
