It has been a considerably entertaining few years as this anime was first introduced into the community, and once again The World only God Knows has changed our understanding of the Harem/Romance genre. Whilst the initial two seasons follows the manga closely and broadens our understanding between Keima's idealistic fantasy and his unavoidable destiny to conquer the "real-life" girls, season 3 would have been an absolute disaster if the continuation of his conquests was not supported with any actual "ending" (Keima's favourite word).

Thankfully, TV Tokyo decides to take the major risk into a timeskip between seasons 2 and 3, and while it may have confused the audience with rapid changes, the entertainment from the Goddess arc truly shined and the adaptation is perhaps no short of outstanding. The story of Keima's adventures to collect loose souls initially had no true implications, yet the revelations within the Goddess arc enabled a strong, firm connection within Keima's world.

As with its predecessors, Megami-hen's art and sound have been superb, the opening and ending this season have been especially mesmerising for myself personally. There were only some minor frame changes between the manga and anime itself (disregarding the major change in storyline), yet overall Tamaiki Wakaki has once again impressed the audience with high quality artistic features. The precision of the actions and expressions with the girls is another bonus within this already highly-regarded masterpiece.

What truly allows the story to shine so brightly amongst the thousands of other competition is nevertheless the personality of it's characters. Even the main protagonist himself recognises and accepts unique personalities of his conquered girls. In the third season, many girls return to take on the heroine role, and once again Katsuragi must conquer them a second time in order to draw out the power lying within. This change of events from the ordinary loose soul mission to drawing out the power of the Goddesses nevertheless strongly appeals to the currently fanbase, with many getting to see their beloved female heroines (+Yui, if you know what I mean) once again falling for Kami-sama.

Most certainly, I have enjoyed the series significantly, thereby rating it an impressive 9/10. For those who are still confined within Kami's world, I would definitely recommend to fill in the gaps by reading the manga - there are many more conquest arcs, and the new saga also offers an impressive new world to discover!

Thank you very much for having time to read my first review! While it may not offer much, I take pride in helping others, while improving my own abilities in reviewing!
