Every other romance anime I've watched seems to think that romance equates to lust and those aforementioned anime fill scenes with flopping breasts instead of actual material. That being said, Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai (The World God only Knows) goes for the tingling sensation within our hearts and not our no-nos.
The anime is more or less viewed in arcs or small episode series dedicated to individual girls that the main character(Katsuragi Keima) conquers. This idea is a double-edged sword where the pro's are that each girl gets highlighted and the key messages are beautifully projected but the con is that every time he finishes(haha...stop) we are wanting a little bit more (which is how the author meant it to be). So in a metaphorical sense this anime is a firework not a symphony and for a romance anime that is unheard of because there is very little development of the female(but they do develop the main characters).
The art is good, they very it from normal to detailed to super un-detailed to the tone of the anime to inject either humor or passion. However, they really stand out in their sound. Being in a oddly holy and gaming genre, they use choir and house music which when combined which is oddly enjoyable. The endings are sung by the different girls he conquers and variation like that is fantastic.
As a gamer myself, I appreciate the gaming references along with the many other references they make in the anime. Although the anime is far from realistic its not absurd which wins lots of Microsoft points from me, too many anime go from funny to stupid and I am proud to say this is not one of them.
In the end, the anime hits a lot of good points from being innovative to hitting the right points. The authors deserve a nice car or a fire engine.
