And that ending scene was symbolic, I don't know if there really is a hidden message here, but Keima walking through that door out from his room of GAMES~ is like him tackling the real once and for all, and maybe be with CHIHIRO!!! haha , This ending made me like her so much that I forget I'm Ayumi X Keima fan, but anyone is fine as long as it's OTOSHIGAMI :3

I remember when we were all excited about this season. Hoping it was gonna be 24 episodes and stuff.
Then the 12 episode confirmation came by and we thought that it would be a trainwreck.

But I loved every minute of it. <3

Yui's Conquest, Tsukiyo's Conquest, Shiori's conquest, I'll miss it all ;-;
10/10 manglobe, S4 please.

Edit: That ending with the 1st ED and Keima opening the door.

I'M STILL TYPING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM THAT IT'S OVER

Honestly, I wish they had just ended the show right there. I have little hope for a season 4, and I think that it would have been a great ending if they would have just broken off from the manga, let Chihiro and Keima start dating and ended it. The "life went on as normal and maybe something will happen in the future" ending doesn't hold up when there is no guarantee of any continuation.

I am a big Chihiro fan. She is the lone reason I rated season 2 higher than season 1, I just enjoyed her arc so much and for the life of me I have no clue why. So obviously it cannot go unsaid that despite my above problem, I absolutely adored this ending. I feel Godesses is without a doubt the best Season of the World God Only Knows.
I was worried at first, due to the drama heavy nature of the first episode, however to my delight the show never forgot what it was, and never went too heavy on the Drama. If nothing else the fact I am already getting ready to read the manga shows how brilliant I found the show.
I have no doubt in my mind that this show easily gets an 8/10.

Also my respect goes out to Manglobe for animating this, I mean it takes balls to make a show you know won't make a profit just because you want to.

P.S. Yes I do call it the World God Only Knows, I'll fight you about it if you have a problem :P

Meh, the ending of the Ayumi reconquest arc is basically where I started to dislike Keima in the manga and it holds true in the anime as well. This is most likely a self-fulfilling prophecy ^^

I wish Haqua had more screen time this season; still sad about all the parts cut out. The last few episodes had a lot of Ayumi tho whom I also like, but not enough Yui IMO. 7/10

Hopefully, a season 4 is not animated with the way the current arc is going. It has been so boring so far IMO.

Wow that ending almost made me cry!

As a big fan of both Ayumi and Chihiro, I loved the way they ended things between Chihiro and Keima. It makes me think Keima might actually try for once with a real girl. I'm not a manga reader and have been wanting to pick it up for some time now. As soon as I'm done with my other projects, this is the first thing on my list. Loved the direction the show has gone in and while I'm sure it was a little rushed for the manga readers, I've had a great experience. Can't wait to get caught up. I absolutely love this series!!

Just one of those anime where the main character actually make a harem but is not interested on 3D girls... coof coof, what if he was a total pervert that actually had interested on girls beside 3D ones guess it would turn out on something like Hagure Yuusha no Estetica?

Well another great summer season coming to an end. Ayumi's conquest complete and the goddesses are now free from Vintage.

The ending scene, It was emotionally tear-jerking seeing Keima made a mistake on Chihiro, and also that song was fascinating.

Well episode gave me a 5/5, while the season gave me an 8/10.
The goddess arc story and the characters were great, but I felt it was rushed for a 12 episode arc and some characters has less screen time like Haqua and Elsie then the previous season.

I loved this season even more than the previous two, but that ending. I hate it when anime does this. I was hoping that he would somehow tell her the truth and that they can end up with her. Since the manga is ongoing(according to other posters) that means there still may be a chance of a girl actually loving like Chihiro did and him responding to her feelings, but still he could of easily fixed the problem because I think he really liked her. Though I kind of understand why he did it because he's in the contract so he'll have to continue collecting loose souls through romance and that would be problematic for a relationship.

That picture of Chihiro crying was so sad. ;-;
I didn't really like her character when she was first introduced but this arc made me like her.

Well I only recently picked up the whole series so I've been pretty much watching this non stop from the top and somehow I managed to time it extremely well.

I find that I'm normally disappointed by endings, (Oreimo being my most recent prime example) but I think this was perfect. It managed to capture the essence of the situation perfectly. From Ayumi's love to Chihiro's realisation that unlike those around her during the concert, she isn't a Goddess (i.e. 'special' touching on her conquest in S2) and no doubt she knows Keima has been with them all.

The bye bye scene was done well. In Chihiros position I would have believed that Keima dated her because he loved her rather than saving the world like with everyone else, and the whole rooftop scene went well with that. He definitely felt guilty and saddened by the way he handled the situation even if it was for the good of mankind. I really felt the emotion in this anime these past few episodes.

This was miles better than the past 2 seasons, finally Keima let go off his PFP! Though of course that was his quirk. This season was much more serious but the comedy was still there and there was some brilliant character development (my favourite being Haqua) which I haven't seen before.

Keima walking out the door at the end... Finally he has embraced reality and perhaps real love! Roll on S4.

The ending is a little sadder for Chihiro when you realize that she, unlike the other girls now, actually remembers what happened with Keima. They may clear this up in the manga, but as I call it, the three who sans goddess actually still have feelings for him are Chihiro, Haqua, and the childhood friend from next door--with the others being reset without the goddess being present.

And of course you can't discount the impact on Keima of going through the lovemaking with all of these girls, particularly when we've seen signs that he may actually develop some real feelings toward them during the conquest.

Never in my wildest of dreams I thought I would fall in love with Chihiro this much! It seems this season was meant to be for her. Amazing that she ended up becoming the most precious heroine who didn't even have a goddess inside her despite the name of the arc, Megami-hen!

While Haqua remains my favourite in the series, I have to say, Chihiro moved above rest of the girls in my list. Seeing her tearing up in the end was heartbreaking. I wasn't really ready to forgive Keima for lying to Chihiro but seeing him hurt and actually shedding tears made me realize that it was extremely hard for him to take for doing what he did, lying to Chihiro. Perhaps, she is the one for him after all. :)

Keima getting up from his gaming and coming out of the room in the end, I wonder what that would imply. Perhaps Chihiro triggered Keima's real world switch? That "bye-bye" must have made him realize something!

I was planning to give the anime a 9/10, but I think this season had everything I could ask for from any anime. Thus I will give it a deserved 10/10 and will earnestly hope for a sequel. :)

Oh manglobe, I still can't believe how you managed to cram this much material into a 12 episodes series in such an impressive way.

Hopefully they'll adapt the next and very likely final arc when it'll be over. For those that wonder what the next arc is about:

As expected, I cried. Manglobe you bastards! You actually animated the entire series really well and especially the ending to the Goddesses arc. They really went all out to make the Chihiro scenes very emotional and that really got me. I'm so glad they played Chihiro's character song. <3 The lyrics are very powerful and relevant to the arc too. Seeing Keima crying and feeling all guilty was very refreshing too. Chihiro and Keima had the most character development during this arc. A bittersweet ending but still amazing. Chihiro is seriously my favourite conquest girl now. Haqua still being my favourite 'hell' girl. :) Chihiro x Keima!

That scene was beautiful imo. 8/10 overall.

Oh, man. I feel the same way. Too bittersweet. I waited for her to wear the wedding dress for yay long, and I gotta love it even more in the anime + Aya-chi's voice. >:> Biased over here.
But the bye-bye of Chihiro. nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... I didn't expect it! Hit hard in the feels, even though I read the manga.
No matter how much rushing was done, it was still well-done. Expected less from it, now I'm feeling it so much!

Why did Ayumi and the others change their clothes before the concert. Im quite sure that Ayumi was wearing her bride dress during the concert in the last scene.

Now that you mention it, I'm gonna rewatch it. I too think Ayumi didn't go and change, but yeah. She didn't in the manga, but in this episode, well, I've grown my doubts...

1 thing very minor is when Keima hugged Chihiro when they were invisible she pushed away and let go so how come they can still see eachother

Their hands were just separated by the bike. They didn't move much after that, so technically, they were facing each other. And gamer instinct at its best! To save Chihiro, Keima hugs randomly to his front, and hey, he got to hug her blindly.

For my own review of the ending, I'm pretty sad it's all over... Something that made my mornings, gone... T_T
I may have not been watching enough anime to appreciate drama side-to-side with action. Goddesses, too powerful. Vintage was owned before they could counterattack. FTW!
Most of the things I want animated are there! The oh so great Manglobe pushed through!
S4 /may/ come out, IMO, but expect it to be 2-4 years from now, after the manga's current events settled. If they announce one within next year, as what some guy who posted said, they'd pull of a HnG on Kami Nomi. Please, no!
S4 /could/ be S2.5, or events that happened before the Goddess Arc.
9/10 FTW

I wonder how long Katsuragi is going to think about the Chihiro incident, it sucks how he was never able to formally apologize to her. When he shed a tear I almost did too. I'll give it a 10/10 for cool stuff

I don't think it can be stressed enough how amazing this season was. The only thing I wasn't fond of was Keima crying at the end. I know he does so in the manga as well, but I felt that his feelings for Chihiro weren't built up as well as they could've been. The whole thing just seemed out of the blue at the end there.


I don't know, all the signs were there to show that Keima had feelings for Chihiro. The parting scene that morning at his house where he saw her in the blaze of sunlight (you can't tell me he wasn't love struck when he saw that...). Chihiro's song about first loves, the fact he tried to find the guitar pick that Chihiro stole back from him (the legend that a couple who bring the same item to the festival will stay together). His regret at the end and the tear drop. You've never seen Keima cry, so this had to be a very powerful emotion to get him to tear up.

Keima doesn't understand love in a context that isn't in a game or under his control. The telling line in the manga that wasn't in the anime is when Keima told Ayumi the truth that he "admired her" versus loved her. Again, he doesn't understand real love. But I think he felt it with Chihiro and during the concert now realizes it. His first love was a failure because he got involved in all this New Hell dirty work.



However, if Keima never got involved in all of that, he would still just be the otamega that everyone made fun of in class. Well, Chihiro may have still liked him, but it wouldn't have probably gone anywhere...

Am I the only that felt like I just wanted to crawl down into a hole and just cry there for the rest of my life because of the last scene where Chihiro holds her guitar close to her heart, breaking down into tears while Keima cries too...?
That scene was so beautifully colored and yet so sad... Damn. I want them to be together. Although Chihiro may not be my favorite character but I liked their relationship. It was realistic in a way... ARG. ;______;

On the other hand, this season is getting a freaking 10 for awesome plot and everything else.

My God. I need to stop peeling onions when I watch this show.

No words. My heart was on my sleeve this entire episode and season. Chihiro was the paramount symbol for unrequited love if I'd ever seen it. I empathized with her so much. And I'm a guy, and a straight one at that. So that says a lot.

Also feel like Keima actually has some character development; he's finally realizing that even he can fall under the trappings of the human heart and fall for a real-life girl. But for whatever reason he won't admit it, which means he'll never admit it to Chihiro until he comes to term with those feelings. But that tear he sheds at the end speaks volumes. I think there's hope for him yet.

I freaking love this anime. I want to support it 100% but as far as I know no one has licensed the manga for the West yet. I bought season 1, and will be buying seasons 2 and 3 (if it makes it here). I can't gush enough about how much I love this anime. I *hope* there is a season 4.

I loved the first two seasons, I felt the same about this one. I like how they gave a little aftermath when everything was said and done. Also, they didn't end it with a fun filled Keima episode this time XD.

I know it would've been completely out of place, but I really wanted Keima to say "I can see the ending" right before the episode ended.

Yet another example of a great show ruined by being rushed to death.

Don't get me wrong - I liked the finale - but I just hate how everything was so rushed that some important things seem like Deus ex Machina or ass pull to people who don't know what happened in the manga. Keima knowing Akari - who suddenly appears - without them ever talking to each other in the show is a good example of this.

This show and this finale would have been perfect if this had 24 episodes and showed everything in the manga leading up to an otherwise truly great finale. If it wasn't rushed: 9/10 or 10/10

Since the show was rushed: Final score - 6/10

This was a wonderful adaptation. Perhaps they could make OVAs for the conquests they've skipped. 10/10 for this episode and 9/10 overall. Much better than previous seasons, due to Keima's character development and the better pacing.

I've been shipping Chihiro and Keima ever since she was conquered in the manga. So glad so many realize how awesome Chihiro is. Whether she ends up with Keima or not, I hope she's content with how her life is by the end of this series.

Oh my god i love this series.

But. Even though manglobe did everything they could fitting all that story into these episodes: It still felt a bit rushed. It may have been a good idea to focus on the important part with Katsuragi and the conquests, but there was like an 11-episodes build up of Vintage and that stuff and then the final fight of the Loose Souls Team versus Vintage was only shown like 20 seconds.
I don't know who to blame here, but this really should have been a 20+ episodes Anime!

Even though: I liked this ending. Ayumis Wedding scene was just wonderful! And first i thought the final band performance wouldn't fit in, but it did. I feel sad for Keima and Chihiro. They just had bad timing/bad luck with eachother during this series. I never really liked Chihiro, but now i wouldn't mind if they end up together someday.

I totally love it how they developed Keimas character. Throughout this whole season he was never really seen with a game in his hands and he never seemed to miss it. Now that he's back with it, he kinda seem to miss the "real world". I think he took a dip into the "real love" ocean with Chihiro and liked it ^-^

I would really dislike it if this would be the ending to the whole anime series. I don't want it to end kind of sad, especially Keima deserves a truly happy ending. I want a fourth season! :c
