Incredibly boring episode...
No great Kemi one liners or Elsea antics which is what make this show entertaining.

Really hope that was the first and last prolonged battle scene we had to endure because it just does not fit^^

... I still don't like Haqua's voice.
Actually I think it's a good adaptation, but WHERE'S MY GOKULT? ;____;

Judging from the ep preview art, 2-5 will probably be
as expected.

Also LOL I love these things:

Finally some interesting development in the story, I really didn't expect a loose soul to appear that wasn't in a girl. The zombie-like people were also something I didn't expect to be in KamiNomi. And Keima playing his dating sims while everything happens, sigh... lol.
This series is too great, when I'm watching it goes so fast, it feels like 10 minutes even though it is 24 minutes.

Am I the only one who feels underwhelmed by this season? It hasn't really been bad by any means, but I think Shiori set the bar really high for me. I think more than anything else, nothing really surprised me in the Kasuga and Haqua arcs. Kasuga actually likes cute things and Haqua isn't doing as well as she says? Those were both really easy to see coming.

Eh... I've seen this series described as a cheeseburger anime, as in bad for you but satisfying. It's something I've really agreed with. I enjoy this series on a very basic level and don't expect it to try to be anything else. This episode they attempted actual drama, and it's just sort of bad. Keima's tongue in cheek commentary admitting the cliches is what makes the cliches good. You can't just throw the same relatively low quality of scenario into a serious context and expect it to work.

Unlike many others, I actually find this to be my least favorite episode. Had almost none of Keima's awesomeness, and I now hate Haqua more than any other girl in the series. Honestly can't understand her popularity. So yeah 3/5

Pretty much agreeing with these two quotes. The new character was very one note so far, and I understand that we're just getting started, but I don't feel like World God Only Knows has enough substance to support this direction in the plot.

That was actually pretty bad story execution from the drama stand point. Everything felt forced. I think this also the worst episode so far.

As much as I like Haqua and she's my favorite in the manga, I really don't like her anime counterpart.

I like Haque she might be selfish and arrogant but in the end she did see that she was wrong and she did understand Elcea point that she doesn't need to be the best in everything.
I am wondering what more we will see from her.
Elcea was nice this episode as well she finally did something on her own and it went very well even the there was a little encouragement needed from Keima's side.

The anime drew out the fight scene. In the manga wasn't it like... two pages? Three? That said, I liked it. I can understand how someone that doesn't know how Haqua fits into the story might be scratching their head at it though. I didn't really like her at first when I read the manga.

Let me just say now: She has one of the funniest and best relationships with Keima. Anyone who doesn't like her just needs to stay tuned. Your mind will change.

I like the anime but not this episode. Not to be bad or anything but things i didn't like are listed
-Bad guy looked like big pimple
-Useless girl sidekick is totally useless until end
-Way too many scenes showing off genius girl and her days at school
-Fact that kids at walking speed are able to surround girls who could fly and easily capture ghost
-Main hero doesn't do anything except get stepped on
-When genius girl does a slash scene at useless sidekick, nothing happens, why slash and freeze if nothing happened!?
Sorry, I like god boy centered episodes more than useless sidekick girl is all

This was a nice episode. Went a little slow at times, but nice.

It's still kinda pitiful when you get your asses kicked by a fat cloud and a bunch of unconscious teenagers. I know they won, it just looks bad.

I'm greatful Haqua came in to this; Elsie finally got some character development and Haqua was possibly one of the best 'lose soul' victums to date, as she proves those that are the solution can also encounter problems.

I also like the slight serious tone that came into the past few ep's, as it shows this series can change direction if it wants.

2/5. This episode was way too cliched and predictable. Least favorite one until now :

I liked the episode even though Keima was kind useless. I hoped he would've tried to keep those people back. Even though, i liked the kind of action that happened cause really, shouldnt capturing souls be some sort of big battle.

If you find the anime boring, read the manga, you'll find it more interesting than the anime itself, as there are more scenes and more funny stuff in there.

Or maybe you didn't like this whole capturing idea and you just came here trolling, sorry to be rude :)

P.S. little offense was used in this comment :D

I don't get how Hakua is a Section Chief when she's so inexperienced. Failed to find a "buddy" while sucked in capturing loose souls.

It looks like I'm part of the minority, but for me, Haqua's arc is the best so far. ^^

Why?

I understand that the storyline for this anime is generally comedic instead of serious, but balancing serious with comedic is pretty important for me. We've probably all felt something like Haqua's frustration at not being able to do her job right.

When we mess up, the professional thing to do is 'fess up, admit that you've done a bad job and try to work together to fix it. The moment when Haqua was able to admit that the loose soul was her mistake, is in my opinion... -great- ^^"
Same for the moment when Elsie manages to force the loose soul from Haqua. ^^"
For a different reason, same for when Haqua almost cuts Elsie with her scythe. O.O !!

This anime doesn't specialise in battle scenes, but I quite like the one near the end of this episode. I find it boring and disappointing when a hero just, "gets more powerful", to the point where they can win the fight just by trying their best. In this episode, victory comes from a change in tactics, albeit a simple one: only Haqua has enough skill to safely hold back all the students the loose soul is throwing at them, so Elsie must be the one to capture it into the bottle.

Of course, this episode still keeps some of the series humour, so you still get some comic relief frequently. ^^

Side note: I haven't seen any of the manga.

I'm kind of disappointed a lot of people don't appreciate Haqua's arc, shown by the lower poll score for this episode. ( _ _ )

I hope more of this anime will turn out like this. Liked this arc it so much that I watched it again, and I rarely do that for any anime. ^^

I personally saw a drop in animation in this episode. You could see it in particular with Elsie's eyes, which looked awkward throughout the first half of the episode.
Otherwise, good episode, I like the normal format of capturing souls better, but this was fun for a change

Actually, if he tried to keep those people back, he probably would just be ambushed by them. Then Hague would have someone else to have to keep safe, so it would just be a burden.

I really liked the development in this episode, although i don't know why the loose soul looked a bit like the State Puft Marshamallow Man....... But Keima's trying to stay out of the way and failing was priceless.

But.... I'm just an innocent bystander
