Synopsis

Keima Katsuragi, known online as the legendary "God of Conquest," can conquer any girl's heart—in dating sim games, at least. In reality, he opts for the two-dimensional world of gaming over real life because he is an unhealthily obsessed otaku of galge games (a type of Japanese video game centered on interactions with attractive girls).

When he arrogantly accepts an anonymous offer to prove his supremacy at dating sim games, Keima is misled into aiding a naive and impish demon from hell named Elucia "Elsie" de Lute Ima with her mission: retrieving runaway evil spirits who have escaped from hell and scattered themselves throughout the human world. Keima discovers that the only way to capture these spirits is to conquer what he hates the most: the unpredictable hearts of three-dimensional girls! Shackled to Elsie via a deadly collar, Keima now has his title of "God of Conquest" put to the ultimate test as he is forced to navigate through the hearts of a multitude of real-life girls.

Brief overview: MUST-WATCH
It's about retrieving souls that have escaped from hell. Each of those souls has now possessed a girl's body therefore to capture that soul the protagonist needs to make those girls fall for him and kiss them at the same time to draw the soul out.

This review will be based on the whole series.
10/10 for the whole series.

Do you know what hides behind those anime avatars? Narcissism. Such is the condition of many otaku. Our hero is a bona fide galge expert, to the exclusion of anything except his newfound demon friend he doesn't care about.

The hero spends his days slamming the buttons of a handheld called a PFP, styled after the PSP Go N1000, a system not known for eroge outside of the homebrew scene. That means our boy probably plays galge without even the enticement of anime tiddy.

When I was in high school, I played Doukyuusei 2 on ZSNES. I played dating sims without the tiddy. I was a narcissist. ...

Recommendation: An interesting premise goes to waste. You can safely skip it even if it looks intriguing to you on paper.

What a disappointment. Stripped to the essentials, the plot seems promising. A gamer that can beat any dating sim has to use his skills to make women fall for him IRL. All I can say about that is that the plot really does not exist. Each main girl is conquered in sequence over the course of 2 episodes and is then never seen again in the story, with no continuity between any of the sections. It reminds me of a bad VN adaptation from the ...
