So this season does really jump right into the Goddess Saga arc!

Well, I can't say that it wasn't a shame that the other girls' arcs weren't animated but MAYBE they'll cover it in other OVAs like Tenri's arc? Doubt it though.

Still though, really enjoyable straight out of the gate, what with our second goddess Apollo erupting from Kanon's love and then getting stabbed by Lune. But... Lune? The... psycho stab-yourself-in-the-hand-just-to-see-peoples-reaction Lune? Her smile is even creepy.


Other than that, it was really enjoyable. It does so happen that this first episode had to skim over a lot of the captured girls that weren't covered (even though those same girls made the cameo preview second season last episode) but I think they did the overview pretty well. After all, those arcs do happen to be... less enjoyable than the Goddess Saga arc. The only one (in the manga) that I did enjoy reading to its fullest was Yui's, after all. Keima enjoying Otome in that one snippet? "I understand the heart of a guy too" Ha! That's absolutely awesome.

Speaking of Otome... Yeah that skill's definitely a Chekhov's gun there. Oh Yui, Yui Yui Yui.

The confession scene by Kanon was great, by the way. It was... really cute.

OP definitely had the same feel of the other OP's of the previous seasons. Good listen. ELISA, right? Looking forward to the ED.

Loved it.

Haven't read the manga. Saw the first 2 seasons about 8 months ago. It's a bit confusing in the beginning trying to remember everything that's happened.

It was pretty good.

This is the 4th anime to have a Ps Vita in it.

Haganai NEXT, Hataraku Maou-sama, and Oreimo S2 were the first 3.
PS vita ?? no ,bro its PFP..PFP...PFP keima favourite console...
anyway great START..for the 3rd season..but WHY they swap the characters...
can't be helped..seen it was rush..hope they do not change any major plot in the ARC.

I'm pretty mad that they summarized Yui and Tsukiyo (hope I spelled her name right). Like wtf, my first thought was there is no way in hell they are going to fit all of them in AND tell the goddesses story long enough to be able to give it a decent ending in line with the manga and I get this summarizing characters bs, WHY!?!? The manga is pretty popular from my understanding so I thought they could maybe give the other goddesses some OVA's to lead up to the animation. Sigh...while I am vastly disappointed I have waited quite some time to see the next season so I'll definitely be watching every episode. The amount of compression going on is about to be ridiculous though. That means his whole quest relapse might just end up being an episode or two, which will really tick me off. At any rate, at least I know they'll show Haqua's partner, she's a little weird, but in that you wanna know what she's gonna do next kinda way. Can't wait for the rest!

Oh, wow. I have... no words... for how horrible this is. Worst adaptation ever? Very likely. And I didn't even watch past the opening. I didn't have to. They ruined everything with just that. The whole arc.

See, I read the manga. I remember why this arc was awesome. And it was because for the longest time we had no clue who the goddesses are, which girls they reside in. It was thrilling to see Keima trying to figure it out and every goddess revealed was a huge thing. This season throws it out of the f*cking window, showing ONLY the goddess girls in the OP itself (and one other, highly relevant one, the best one), removing all the fun. Not only that but the conquests they skipped were highly entertaining and some of them actually contained VERY IMPORTANT STUFF aside from the romance. How do you even manage to skip a giant monster destroying the city like a freakin' Godzilla?! HOW DO YOU SKIP THAT?!

This just became the first and only anime I justifiably dropped AND justifiably rated without getting through one episode. Congrats.

10/10 rage.
Worst adaptation ever? I would like to direct your attention towards Rosario+Vampire.

If they'd animated those arcs as the Third season I guarantee you'd never see a forth season. To keep the show afloat they had no choice but to skip to the Goddess arc. Read my earlier post for my full reason.

Really agree with your point. I'm also insisting in this thread about it. Anyway even if this season used to cover regular capture arc ,wonder how long must I wait to get it into the Goddess Saga? The posibility is limited with the sale it recive.

Holyshit! Epicness right from the get go!!!!
Keima!!! The God has returned.
Damn Lune! Your as vicious as you are in the manga O.O.
Epic Scene in the class btw made me jump out of my chair even though I was expecting it.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

It feels weird with them skipping so much. There won't be the same impact of finding the Goddesses without the search through the previous girls.Plus the P and focus kinda gives them away.

The best part was trying to find out who the Goddesses were.

Should still be an interesting watch, but if I hadn't been caught up on the manga it wo uld be confusing/ I'd feel like I was missing a lot.

Seems many people have forgotten there was an OVA where Elsie formed a Rock Band.

I demand that Manglobe do a kickstarter campaign to animate into OVAs the following conquests:

1. Yui Goidō
2. Tsukiyo Kujyō
3. Hinoki Kasuga

Mostly people that illegally read manga online or people that read it in bookstore without purchasing it. The sales will likely not increase too much for that reason alone.

I repeat it, they couldn't afford to continue doing the conquest arcs and that's mostly the reason they went straight to the goddesses arc.

Wether they pay or not this season make more newcomer from anime-only viewer. And the more manga get attention more chance another project will be made either seasonal anime or some OVA.

It's finally back, it's a bad thing they had to skip all of those arcs but having read the manga I won't have a problem following the story.

One thing that must be done in the forum is avoid to list the arcs that were important and were left out of animation, that will spoil the anime only viewers.

Dropped the manga(got too much fanservice as compared to earlier chapters).
So don't really know what to expect...
But I love it!
I think they did quite well summarizing it.
It reminds me why I like it in the first place. My craze over it. Why it was my favourite series for a long time.
Wish they animate Yui arc as well.
I hope they wont chopped off anything from Chihiro arc.

A lot of people seem to be thinking it is/will be confusing for people who haven't read the manga, but I really don't think so. I haven't and there was certainly nothing confusing about that episode. I really enjoy this show, but I feel it's fair to say it's pretty samey - each girl certainly has her own unique story, but we know how each is going to pan out; effectively, the details don't matter. It really is enough to do what they've done and say 'so this is a girl Keima 'conquered' and this was her 'thing''. We can pretty much fill in the blanks from there.

I was expecting another season exactly like the first two, which was fine with me, but actually I think this was a good decision, not only for the financial reasons already mentioned, but just to keep it interesting and fresh.

The new OP is boss.

Although I'm not a big fan of the time skip, it was a bit of a necessary evil after thinking about it.

Not really liking the pace, but it appears that it'll only be for the first episode just to get the summary of the events out there. Especially considering how the second half went.

Keima is finally back. And dat first season's OP too.

Ouch, I can understand cutting down on a couple of the conquests between this arc and the last season, but two of them were kind of important...

Dat confession. Dat Asami cameo!

Dat stabber that is not Fiore...wait what. Wonder if they are seriously going to try to fit the entire arc into 12/13 episodes.

Heck, something went wrong. If they planned to skip conquests, they should have done it for girls who are not "candidates". I hope this won't lower the excitement of finding all the Jupiter sisters!

The compression of events was weird, but when you skip a bunch of arcs that is to be expected. Still, Kanon's confession had nowhere near the impact that it should have. I's also interesting that they had Lune stab Kanon instead of Fiore; I actually think it was a good decision to introduce Lune early on, she makes for a good villain.
