Chiron was ass pulled to win.We never got an insight into the lore of loose souls.Not even a proper meeting of the girls with Keima post goddess ARC. Even Elsie was asspulled out of the story. The story was more that just an otp.You scum had to ruin that.And u don't even get it nor care. The chihiro shippers will be remembered as the worst shipping fandom of all time bar none.Anyone who read the manga ending objectively will know why. You seem to misunderstand, I don't particularly like Chihiro nor dislike her, I'd actually prefer Shiori x Keima more so than anything else. Also the loose souls have been explained more in depth in the Tenri-arc I believe and so there's no point in re-talking about it. Most likely the reason Elsie was pulled out of the story (I haven't read that part in the manga) was that given the amount of screentime she's had, and how her appearances were often combined with comedy, she simply wasn't that good of a fit with the more serious tone in the Goddess arc. The time travel ending leads into the manga itself that continues afterwards, and to be honest, there's no such thing as reading something objectively, particularly if one's first thought is screw you and realism. The reason there never was a proper resolution was that this was an adaptation of perhaps the best part of the manga itself, and was done before the end and middle sections. The company that made this even ended up going bankrupt so there wasn't much to be done in terms of continuing it on to reach a final resolution, nor did they apparently want to do an anime original ending or perhaps, weren't allowed to. I'll still feel that it's ridiculously impressive that they managed to compress so much manga material into twelve episodes and still end up coming out strong and good. I don't particularly understand the massive animosity towards the Chihiro shippers though, did they end up bribing the author or something? I agree with everything you've mentioned, and to be honest, most of the anger directed towards us Chihiro shippers seem to be because the "ending was forced". While the manga ending The entire Megami arc was basically set-up for the ending, while the final arc wrapped up the loose ends (rushed as it was). I don't see why people would label it as "garbage" (as according to the post above), but I suppose shipping is serious business ;) |

| I just re-watched the last episode a couple of days ago for some odd reason. I really forgot how enjoyable this final episode was. I loved the part when Chihiro says “bye-bye” to Keima, as well the final concert performance. Pretty emotive both of them, imo. Anyhow, I’m satisfy with this adaptation as a whole, even if content was omitted/skipped. I'm sad there won’t be a final season though, but it is what it is. |

| I'm outta loop here - the goddess plot was introduced hastily & the whole anime was frantic. Even then I enjoyed it fair bit. But what's with the bitter ending with chihiro? Why leave your viewers hanging like that? So this is it? Ugh. 5/10 |
| Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse. Now take a look at Berserk (2016). YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO CRY. |
| This was not an actual ending, was it? I don't even know what to make of it, I just refuse to accept it. Edit: the only reason I'm letting this pass is because I heard there's more to the actual story going. 7/10. |

I don't see why people would label it as "garbage" (as according to the post above), but I suppose shipping is serious business ;) As a response to genesic123: I read and watched the whole TWGOK ages ago a few times from a mostly objective pov but a slight bias towards, Ayumi, Chihiro, Haqua, and Tenri. And although I haven't read it recently, I remember being disappointed with the rushed ending and final arc as I enjoyed the franchise. The goddess arc for me forshadowed and was always leading to the time-travel arc even though imo i think it could be better executed. The goddess arc clearly actually shows that Keima slowly realises his feelings for Chihiro and rejects her at the end although he is in conflict with himself not knowing what was the right thing to say. He is constantly always a step behind Chihiro in this arc. At the end when he sheds a tear, he regrets not telling her the truth that she was a part of this, he didn't want her to know the entire truth in how they had already met, and how he "conquered" her already. I agree with those who actually made points on how especially from the goddess arc, that the ending was heading towards Chihiro, even if it was rushly done. If you have actual complaints other than hatred towards Chihiro shippers, then I would like to hear them all in detail in one post. Since if you indeed did read the manga and watched the anime objectively, then I don't think you would have too much to complain about. However I fear that you are blind with rage because of Chihiro shippers. On another note I thought that Chihiro had the best chance with Keima, then Ayumi. Tenri was unfortunately how the story was going, was always going to be stuck as a friend and she never really had a chance despite her hope, dedication, and history with Keima. I also would have liked a Haqua ending if possible XD <3 The other girls didn't really have a chance. Elsie had more chance than the others. :P I also feel sorry for Keima, as at first he treated the conquest as a game before the goddess arc, since his targets would lose the memory of the conquests, but after it was revealed that those with goddesses within them retained the memories. It no longer became a game but something that was real and would have lasting effects and consequences. He had to make the girls fall in love with him again although he did not love them and the reality of eventually having to break their hearts carries a heavy burden since Keima is not an emotionless or entirely cruel person (scum of the earth). Chihiro was the best ending not for really what Keima said in the manga, but as a person who affected Keima the most. I still think the manga could have had a much better ending, not too rushed, and better words use of language... Well it's not like I could have done that much better with the ending anyway... If they ever do a season 4, I'd like it if they revised the final arc and ending to do better justice to the story... |

| The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they don't wish to see anyone else suffer the way they did. |
| The 1st season was funny enough, but it got way too close to shoujo so many times and started becoming bland by even before season 2. There should have been way more action, but the protagonist was a romance flag conquest geek, whom might have been in the closet, sooo I guess the story progression makes sense. I gotta learn to better discern whats good instead of going off the MAL overall series score. Another notch in the ol anime belt; 1,601 down, 12,000+ to go :P |
| For general reason, i am very much liking this series from the beginning. Since first episode of the season 1, the rom-com situation really made my day. But, too good to be true, for all the harem anime, die you all! . Cause the lack of some story details (such as other girls which is not get conquest screen time, bad scene in another, too fast and rushed manga material thing, like Why Akari looks like Elsie and Haqua, what is the reason Diana can grow up her wings, and else, idk, its too much unclear information) make me pissed off. Maybe i sound like an ungrateful children who get quality toy but need more toys. Seriously, its okay! Tbh, i dont wanna talk this season story progression too much. Ans then, nearly finished, my grudge become real. i really disappointed with the end of this season and all of the reason above. No clue, no hint, and they just keep the whole series hangover till its max for just like that. Really? What is going on in the end? No conclusion, its an open end. I repeat, ITS AN OPEN END! You pick your best girl. You pick your boy, Keima to get his best at then end, and you will realise you cant decided by yourself. Because Keima only enjoy 2D girl only. Okay surrender, keep harem ftw till end of the world! Dang, i even need to hold on the end series till the end of the month so i can make my heart strong enough to accept the end destiny. But no, i can not. So, i just need to move on! I just laughed at myself, to get trapped in this misery show. Well, okay, no turn back. I might give 8 to this only season. Its good enough to cover all of my sadness to all of this. Thats all, im enjoying while its last, no more dumping, case closed. |

| Aaaaaa 10/10 as usual. Thank you Manglobe despite the cut scenes and conquest that were not included. <3 |
 |
| Years ago i rooted for Chihiro but after rewatcihng Ayumi was in more scenes in Season 1 and 2 than Chihiro. Only one scene where she stares at at him for no reasons hinted to maybe she liked him before conquest. |
| Probably one of the awesome endings I wont accept. They showed the downside of having a harem genre in the show. This is too sad and painful to watch. idk what to rate this |

| Compared to the buildup in the previous episodes, the ending felt a bit rushed, but still amazing. Especially the scenes with Chihiro stood out, like the hug when that vintage patrol was near. The scene on the boat was good, bit odd that Keima was objecting at first, since he had earlier said he would speedrun this conquest and the result was more important than getting the best ending. But things worked out in the end, and the talk afterwards with Chihiro was amazing. Then seeing them both sad after all that had happened between them was really touching. And really led to a change in Keima, turning off his consoles to venture out into the real world. |
depressedbutcool said: IntrigueTangiers said: That was a poignant final episode. I would have given this season a higher score than S2 if it wasn't for the rushed pacing at the start, but alas. KamiNomi really surprised me, i think is the best that harem as a genre has to offer. I'll be checking out the manga. PLEASE AM I REALLY THE ONLY ONE WHO SHIPPED KEIMA AND ELSIE!?!? I think Keima gets shipped with everyone, some girls more, some girls less often. They have a nice dynamic, and there was also the "what happened in the bath" moment, plus she likes to take care of him. However, I think Keima's stomach would not agree with him and Elsie becoming a couple, lol. |
| Ayumi would be a great waifu no doubt. But Chihiro I believe qualifies for Best Girl and maybe even Best Waifu if this series. Chihiro, the side or background character that defied the MC's expectation of the real world. A real girl, plain and boring from his eyes, but eventually he sees that because of her 0 status, it meant that she contains the most potential. There is nothing super unique about her, but her existence is genuine and pure. Oh my Chihiro! She also reminds me a little bit of Oozara Subaru, sunshine energy. I also like how Chihiro eventually got some behind-the-scenes knowledge and better understanding of the MC, worthy because she is indeed equally opposite and similar to the MC, a worthy contender for main girl. And how painful must have Chihiro's heart suffered when rejected on the rooftop! Yet, unlike a 2D virtual unreal bishoujo character, it seems that for better or for worse she contains her own willpower and direction (like Ayumi). I enjoyed how masterfully the story gradually included Chihiro and made her close to the center. Nice hair too. |

| This season 3 was very enjoyable, but its not perfect. Positives: - Chihiro drama. I always felt that out of all the heroines arcs, her arc was the most unique in season 2, and I always wanted her to be the main heroine since. - Ayumi drama. She was the second most interesting heroine from her arc, right behind Chihiro. And she was the first conquest. - No more of the heroine reset formula in this season 3 like in season 2, since that made the first two seasons a somewhat tiring experience. - Haqua was very adorable in this season 3. - That Chihiro song is VERY CATCHY. I never get tired of it. Negatives: - I feel like this season 3 should have just focused on the male MC with Haqua's help, in a "love triangle" with Chihiro-Ayumi. Honestly, the episodes that dealt with the other heroines in this season 3, those episodes were mostly boring (library girl, doll girl, macho girl). Chihiro and Ayumi are the two heroines who are the most interesting, mainly since both are classmates of the male MC and know him, and they also have the most interesting personalities out of all the heroines. - What is the point of introducing a couple of heroines in this season 3 that did not appear in the first 2 seasons? The anime should have just replaced them with some of the heroines that appeared in seasons 1 and 2, since we the audience would already have had a connection with them. With all said above, PLEASE GIVE US A SEASON 4 OF AT LEAST 10 EPISODES!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!! THINGS CANNOT END THIS WAY WITH CHIHIRO!!!!!!! CHIHIRO AND MC MUST BECOME A COUPLE!!!!!!!! |
