| 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. |

eworm said: 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. |
| You do not know how long I've waited for this :3 anyways a great first episode, already read the manga so already know how it's going to end. |

| What the hell was that? They just killed the whole arc, like eworm said. What happened to all the thought and effort that was put into the mystery of who the goddesses were and what would happen?? >> |

| I rewatched/marathoned the previous seasons and OVAs a refresher but dam now I have to wait an episode a week now. Maybe if I start reading the manga itll help past the time. Great great episode Kanon was always my favorite girl. |
 |
| Disappointed that the anime skipped about 50 chapters from the manga, guess i'm gonna have to check it out to know who the heck these girls were and anything else that happened : / |
 |
| one thing that i found positive about the skipped conquests, is that now more people will try to read the manga to find out what they miss. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |

| Even though they skipped alot of arcs they still did a good job with summarizing, I'm still disappointed with Manglobe though they should've really animated those arcs T_T |
 |
| Was soo excited for this all year, Finally Katsuragi-kun makes his comeback. The art was not too shabby too, actually it was fantastic especially on HD ~ROFL at Keima-neesama turning into a girl |

japzone said: 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.NotShady said: Even though they skipped alot of arcs they still did a good job with summarizing, I'm still disappointed with Manglobe though they should've really animated those arcs T_T 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. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=628165&show=80#post91 |

| 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? |
| bit disappointed.I really wanted to see Tsukiyo & Akari's Arc fully animated T_T but atleast I won't have to wait too long for Shiori's Goddess Arc. |
| 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 |
| cant w8 till ayumi goddess arc!! |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| i am quite suprise when they didn't actually animated yui and tsukuyo arc.. these two are part of goddes after all. i hope they will fully animated those two arc into an ova especially yui arc. btw. it nice to see twgok back. |

Keikaku doori. 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. |

And the more manga get attention more chance another project will be made either seasonal anime or some OVA.Shangetsu said: I got what you meant.

| Just saw someone post a goddess spoiler. Don't talk about the manga here please ;-; We don't want to ruin it any more for the anime-only viewers |
| This season is going to be full of epic shit. |
| 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. |

| I wished that they wouldn't have skipped 8 girls, but ... ok. Also, the new OP is fucking amazing. Thank you God Keima. |

| 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! ~oh please don't skip the details about Keima's teacher and that "mad professor" |
     |
| Start feels fuzzy and rushed, maybe it was the manga chapters or something from previous seasons I don't recall The new story is very interesting though and the comeback of Kanon and probably the other heroines Keima is such a boss looking at the preview |

| That was way more dramatic than I was expecting. I need to watch the OVAs... I'm missing something here... |

| I was very confused by the first episode and thought I skipped some episodes or forgot them. I'm relieved that my memory didn't fail me and I just need to watch the OVA to catch up? |
| Sucks for the anime-only viewers. But at least they're adapting the part with the best plot, in my opinion. |
