Should you watch The World God Only Knows Megami-hen? Definitely,this season of the TWGOK series is hands down the best for me. Up until this point in the story, all of the conquests that have been completed by Keima had not converged on any point, they had all been their own separate stories that did not interact with each over, but with this adaptation of the manga, many of them are brought together. Out of all of the seasons too this point, this one sticks with me the most.

Story: 9
The premise for Megami-hen is that goddesses had been shipped in the same packages of the loose souls, with only a few of the previous girls hosting them. Previously, after being con-quested by Keima, the girls would completely forget the conquest, with some abnormalities here and there. With the introduction of the goddesses, the girls who host them will remember their own conquest. It changes how Keima approaches the re-conquests because all of his tricks will not work again. With this, the characters of Keima and the girls included in the series are developed even further, which is quite a surprise with its short amount of episodes. Some of the conflicts do seem a bit forced, or even rushed.

Art: 9
The art style is similar to the other 2 seasons, with the exception being the designs for the goddesses. It may be the same old, but it is still impressive even after 2 years.

Sound: 10
The openings that have been created from this series are some of my all time favourite, with the first and third opening shining more than the second one. The endings are also very impressive, with it changing almost every episode depending on which heroine Keima is focusing on. The ambience and sound design during the episodes are also impressive, which helps with setting most of the scenes.

Character: 10
Keima deviates from his cold, cynical character that was created through the first two seasons every few episodes, and through this the toll of being forgotten by everyone he has developed a bond with shows. Trying to avoid spoiling the last episode as much as I can, one of the scenes just sticks with me, replaying it over in my head all the time because of its excellence in demonstrating these feelings that Keima has developed.

Enjoyment: 9
I've greatly enjoyed my time with the series, both in watching the anime and reading the manga. Experiencing all of the sub plots, and all of the characters varying archetypes, accumulates into an enjoyable time that most should at least try and watch

Overall: 9
As mentioned earlier, part of this season feel rushed. I feel like the only way to have remedied this would have been to air more episodes, but hearing that the second season didn't sell well would suggest that their wasn't a huge budget to work with. If you haven't seen this series already, the last few episodes should be watched back-to-back to experience them fully.

This will be one of the series that I can truly hold with high regard because of how it has effected me. Hopefully those of you have read this far will be influenced, as it is a great experience.
