Overview - The World God Only Knows 1-7



Continuing my trip thru the current anime season I checked out what's available of The World God Only Knows based on the manga by Tamiki Wakaki. We got Keima, a gamer with no social skills who specializes in dating sims to the level of considering himself a "God", but when he gets roped into serving the Underworld by capturing lost souls who are conveniently stored into current anime girl archetypes (athlete, tsundere, idol) alongside a bumbling servant called Elsie who wants to prove herself he has to use his considerable sim date game experience to get into the girls' hearts so that the lost spirit inside is expelled, a prospect that he doesn't enjoy and that cuts into his gaming time, but if he doesn't work it will cost his and Elsie's life.

The series is funny, you feel for the characters even if Keima's personality is very grating at times, the series does homages to classic anime like Heidi of the Alps, Gundam and others that I may have missed. So if you want to explore the World That God Only Knows, head over to Crunchyroll.
