Such a great series. They should do another season with the last arc of the manga.

Does Keima love Chihiro or does he just feel sorry for Chihiro because of what he did?? I don't know but I will know it once I start reading the Manga :3
That singing performance was beautiful especially when the goddesses spread their wings *o* That bye bye :(
It took me 17 days to finish this Anime =_= but it was a good and fun watch. I really enjoyed watching this Anime. I like all the girls <3 and I still can't choose but I think Haqua is the best for me.
The voice acting is also great. I like the opening song but I like the ending song more :3 I am going to download all the version!!!
I will definitely read the Manga sooner or later. A season 4 would be awesome, thanks!!

Good thing I read chapter 42 to 114 from the manga. It skips that much. If you haven't, you should definitely read it, it's a great read and makes way more sense that way. You should watch also watch the OVAs if you haven't.

This season of TWGOK adapts manga chapters 115 to the end of 189 if anyone is wondering. The next arc starts on chapter 190. I skimmed through it and it looks like it skip afew minor details. They skipped some interactions with previous conquests like Jun( teacher who loves wrestling) and Minami( the swim girl). I'm still amazed how there were able to fit in all that in just 12 episodes. Almost nothing was skipped or missed.

Now onto the episode.

I'm a bit dissapointed by the lack of Kanon and Elsie. They weren't in this season very much. I guess it's okay since we already have a lot of Elsie. But I wish there was more Kanon.

Anyway, this season is easily the best of TWGOK! I love it! I can say now that Chihiro is the best girl. I hope she ends up with Keima. I'll take Ayumi as second place though.

I hope there is a season 4. The manga is done and there is about 82 chapter left in the manga. There is definitely material to animate. I'm going to wait two years in the hope that they'll animate more. If not then I'll just continue and finish the manga.

Keima x Chihiro - In the scene outside Katsuragi's house, when she asks him, why he went out on a date with her and did she have a goddess inside of her too. He replies that she doesn't. At that time I believed Keima was unsure whether to tell her, as it would reveal the whole story that she was one of his conquest before and so a candidate for a goddess; even at that time Chihiro didn't understand the whole story about Hell and things but she trust Keima as all the other girls do. I believe Keima was afraid to hurt her more than he had by telling the truth but also that he didn't want to drag her even more into the mess that is his life. He wanted to protect her. And when listening to Chihiro's song - "Memory of my first love", he cries and says, "I'm sorry Chihiro. Earlier, that wasn't what I meant to say". At first I foolishly thought that he was talking about the rooftop when he coldly rejected her and said he tricked her. But then I realised that it was the time outside his house when he told her that she wasn't part of anything to do with the goddesses and all that. He regretted saying that and perhaps not telling her the truth - he probably didn't know which was the right thing to say at the time. And during the rooftop when he hesitated as well on what was the right thing to say to her, since he couldn't understand why anyone would like him before he ever interacted with them at all. Chihiro believed that there was a reason why Keima went on a date with her even though he doesn't give a reason in the end. I believe Chihiro was more upset of not being part of this event, after being able to see the wings of the 6 goddesses. She wanted to be someone special, and someone special to Keima.

Slightly disappointed by how they handled the ending. When I read the chapter I cried almost instantly but the anime didn't managed to get even a tear from me.
Maybe I was too excited for this episode, I even had tissues prepared.

"Come with me and I will give you an ending*

Well that didnt work for me.

I really liked Megami-hen, seriously, but i'm one of those people who need a ending totally fitting my taste or I will be sulky. It had many funny moments as always and Keima was just awesome (well not all the time) and I really liked story. But I need to say I didnt like the ending at all. It didnt really clear up the thing between Chihiro and Keima and it was just a depressive mob. Well anyways it will get the same rating as the first seasons. A next season would be pretty nice if they clear this shit up and just follow the manga. Damn just take your balls and give me a romantic happily after end. That probably doesnt work for some anime. Well ,heading to the next one.

Anyways for the Chihiro fans:

The chihiro shippers are everything wrong with modern anime put into one fandom

They would ruin an entire manga just to shove their precious otp up everyone's @ss.

The worst shipping fandom of all time bar none.

A beautiful end to the Megami arc. A instant 10/10 for everything they put into the last episode. It's unfortunate, but without a fourth season, this is the last we'll see of Keima and Chihiro. Oh well, I'm more than satisfied with this adaptation. They went out to put the feels on me eventhough I've read the manga and already know what's about to happen.

And that "Memories of my First Love". Oh Chihiro, you're not the only one whose first love was crushed by these events. It's a pity Keima's pride refused to let her see that he too, was suffering. Throughout the three seasons, the only girl that Keima acted naturally around was her, and it's sad to see that we won't be getting a fourth season to follow up on their relationship.

If I could give this an 11, I would. This is hands down the best harem/comedy/romance show I've watched. Fanservice is minimal, characters are very memorable and the music. Everything fell into place. They rushed through the beginning, but everything else was absolutely perfect. I almost felt like crying again when Chihiro began singing and Keima was apologising. Thank you Kaminomi, you've given me an fantastic experience.

I honestly think that the way it went that there were really in the end, three proper candidates for Keima to end up with. Tenri, Haqua, and Chihiro. All three have in common that they fell in love with Keima with whom he was, or in Haqua's case, knowing how it is he thinks and operates behind the scenes of his conquests. That said, out of those, only Chirho seemed to deliberatly want to push forward and conquer Keima for herself, whilst Haqua and Tenri seemed a bit more passive in their approach.

At the same time, I think that Chihiro will end up picked mostly due to how Normal and real she is and, given the ending here, it's obvious that he's most likely going to slowly try to break out of it.

As for the story not being entirely about Chihiro, I do agree, but the story was in a sense, about all the pitfalls of life, the struggles, the gaps in peoples hearts, having to meet expectations, escapism, duty. Many of the issues that he helped solve are in a sense, universal and moral life lessons. At the same time, slowly throughout the two seasons, Keima begins to realize this and then the anime or rather, the medium itself, shows us a dosage of reality: The true harem route doesn't exist in reality, and in the end, unless you're one of the select few, you'll always have one you love more than others. Keima is right to feel depressed as hell for what he's done to all of those girls, Telling them all that they're the one. It was a game when they forgot, but, not it isn't one anymore, All the goddesses and Chihiro know what happened.

All in all, if you think outside of the comedy and the silly situations, the Anime itself is a wonderful framing device for dealing with the various conflicts in the girls hearts, as well as slowly helping the main character, and by extension also you, understand perhaps how to deal with reality itself. Although I might be reading a bit too much into it.

As far as I know, the manga ended with one of the girls ending up in a relationship with Keima, and so, one might say that this Anime series excellently and boldly takes a route rarely taken. Starting out in the world of escapism and fantasy (for the viewers) only to in the end come crashing down as reality catches back up, and dealing with the harsh realities of broken promises,, and finding out one's true emotions only to then realize that you've already gone too far, and messed it all up.

It's by no means a happy ending, but it is a realistic ending, and in the end, that's what this show perhaps tries to bring to the table. Reality itself.
