GR Anime Review: World God Only Knows - Goddess Arc

[@Vile_Oreo]

But that Chihiro part though... it was like my feels were slowly getting cut by an ice skate. It was one of the most painful moments I have ever seen in anime.

[@TheGamerZombiie]

i completely agree with you,i just curl up in a ball whenever i think about it.

[@SawyerAnderson]

I don't know what GRArkada is talking about as a "read the manga ending". That Chihiro part summed up the show pretty well. The lose souls' plans were stopped and that moment with Chihiro just compounded how all of these conquest have actually touched and damaged Keima's heart. Perfect ending if you ask me.

[@joshuaschofield9178]

Nihilism55 though I had my own best girl, him choosing her made sense, because like he said often hate turns to love

[@midnightproductions3442]

President Waldo The part with Chihiro tugged at my heartstrings when I read the manga, but goddamn it made me cry like a little bitch when I watched it in the anime. (Yes I started with the manga)

[@Hanshin43]

President Waldo Right?!?! It was like my emotions got blue-balled!!!

[@CxelSound]

I feel like the fact that you didn't touch on Keima Katsuragi feelings, or how empty he was feeling was a big part of the review. Atleast mentioning his struggle to forget or pretend he has feelings for the goddesses while also tirelessly having to hold back the fact of him falling in love over and over again just for just to be forgotten has to have some toll on him.

[@c82over]

To be honest i don't think that's the way Katsuragi feels. He habitually shuts himself out of reality and only interacts with other people because he has to. He started off simply manipulating girls by pretending it was a game because he has a sword over his head. What saved him from being evil was that he seemed to slowly start to come out of his shell and empathize, but in this series that is all reversed. Now he emotionally disconnects himself on purpose manipulating his classmates, methodically and unempethetically because the sword is over their heads. It makes sense _(from in universe logic)_ but it also makes him a complete ass.

[@onlyateenager4960]

I think he is a mix of both opinions. He is more human but to evade being destroyed by feelings he shuts himself down to save the hell

[@kmanalpha453]

"something something goddesses". Great final verdict process Arkada

[@GlassReflection]

I thought so too.

[@imalltheragex2000]

+Glass Reflection I can't watch your first revew of the anime due to copyright stuff(but I am watching this on my phone so I don't know if its gust for phones or whatever)

[@projectfenix8]

I just finished watching this series after this review. The last episode of season 3 hit me so hard with the feels. Can't handle it.

[@onlyateenager4960]

Same. Help me plis

[@UlasSar]

RIP Manglobe. You will be missed ;~;

[@raymanbb8274]

Ha, "I can't see the ending", your not the only one pal

[@ShukakuTheCrazy1]

funny since the manga just ended

[@swaginator4208]

ShukakuTheCrazy1 really? I just started on that!

[@ShukakuTheCrazy1]

jesse_playsgames yeah it ended a few weeks ago I think (ddont recall the exact date). personally I felt the ending could have been better, but it was still satisfying enough.

[@KamuiPan]

This anime still makes me cry. Unfortunately that both anime and manga had ended in such a sad note.

[@destroiz]

The ending wasn't a ''read the manga'' ending, was paramount. It opens questions that don't need to be answered.

[@TheDashingProduction]

I wouldn't mind a season 4. And a movie to end it all.

[@musicmarionette5275]

Dude that would be amazing if it happend

[@be_epbop]

I'm kinda bitter that Heaven's lost property got two movies while The World Only God Know still sitting here

[@maikoymokspg163]

I think it ended beautifully. But I wouldn't mind a season 4 but then again, with that ending, I think it doesn't need a season 4

[@longliverocknroll5]

Auto Paradise Especially given how shit Heaven's Lost Property actually is.

[@humanaku9135]

[@Chronoflation]

I actually really liked the season 3 ending for this show. To me, it felt like a perfect way to close the story up to that point, but still leave the door open for more to come, if they wanted to do more. Plus I love what they do to close off the arc before the very end with Elsie's epilogue of what happened next. I also didn't mind missing those 2 or 3 girls' arcs cause the characters are all cookie cutters character archetypes, for the most part, so figuring them out wasn't too bad, though it is a shame we didn't get to see them played out. That said, for me, this season would probably get an 8 or so, but I don't think I've seen enough to be as critical as you yet. I'm working on that though ;)

[@StormCougarTypeZero]

>Yes I'm talking about Evangelion >Yes I'm still pissed It's been almost twenty years man, move on

[@japz321]

and there's EoE and the Rebuild

[@StormCougarTypeZero]

Mr Anno's wild ride never ends

[@LizzieShiro]

May I explain the read the manga explanation for this series? The animation studio went defunct due to people pirating the episodes. They were unfortunately 350 million yen in debt, so their planning for season 4 was stalled. The animation studio that brought us Samurai Champloo and Ergo Proxy is gone forever and we can't get it back, unfortunately. Yes, I am saddened by that, and yes, I hate the fact that we didn't get OVAs of the two important girls of the Goddess Arc. Especially Yui. I love Yui.

[@logunder4597]

Bruh so we could’ve gotten a season 4?

[@Thorozak]

Always look forward to your reviews :)

[@EnbyNomad]

You and me both~

[@fdjw88]

i have to say this is one of the few very professional anime review channels that i have found on KZbin, glad i subscribed to this.

[@monster7398]

The original god only knows review's taken down..... Whats up??

[@ryanli6321]

I actually love this season of TWGOK just as much, if not more than the first two seasons. Aside from what I consider a somewhat fast pacing, the read-the-manga ending, and the two girls who were never shown in the first two seasons, I thought this season was perfect because it added conflict and drama which made the story of this season arguably better than the first two seasons... well, at least in my opinion. I also got to see two of favourite girls (Kanon and Shiori) again so that may be a contributing factor to why I love this season so much. I'm unbelievably sad that there probably won't be anymore TWGOK because I felt that TWGOK had really developed Katsuagi's character, even if it was only really evident in one of the very final scenes of the entire anime. From being a cocky twat who I absolutely despised at the beginning to becoming a slightly more likeable boy, I really want to see how he develops in the future and how his relationships with all the girls develops after this arc, yet I don't want to start reading any manga at all. Maybe it's the fact that there is no ending, but this anime is the anime I want most to get another season or some sort of continuation.

[@arienus]

"read the manga" ending are much better then anime that make an original ending (ex. Soul Eater, Claymore...) cause the original endings are always rushed and bad + they don't leave room for a continuation.

[@60houssem]

claymore had a read the manga ending :/

[@arienus]

no lol, they changed it and made an original ending, what happens in the end of the Claymore anime does not happen in the manga.

[@60houssem]

but that ending is soooo opened that it is not an ending o.O

[@arienus]

houssem ben ali Yeah but it was changed so much that the anime can't continue by following the manga.

[@TheCrazyscarecrow]

I personally enjoyed the anime soul eater ending. It did feel a bit rushed and I don't like how they gave her weapon powers for a minute, but overall it wasn't bad.

[@demianhaki7598]

Really like the current production quality of these videos. The intro, background set up etc. Looks like a proper show

[@cmm07r]

I always read the comment section after the video and always see the "do this review" throughout it and it just makes me want to just post "Do a barrel roll!"

[@AlbertoLaiho]

Speaking of which, you really should review Welcome to the NHK. I feel it's such a brilliant and important contribution to the world of anime. Just how relatable it is is quite scary.

[@FlexxSuavee]

Them chihiro feels came back as soon as I read the title. Thanks : '(

[@kimguir303]

Nah at the last season I was scared that I skipped a full season but I still love it even without knowing the other girls still great, got addicted to this series 10/10 and would rewatch again and enjoy it hella much

[@Facemoodchannel]

Please review "Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo", it looks like a generic love/comedy anime but believe me it's more than that, it have a lot of potential =)

[@louigel017]

Was a disappointment at some point.

[@Facemoodchannel]

louigel017 Some people say that before episode 13 Sakurasou was just a love/comedy anime and others say that after that episode 13 Sakurasou turned into love/comedy anime, for me Sakurasou was not lost his shine and he was always great

[@piccolo56000]

oh my god! i am watching that RIGHT NOW! its so lovely , i thought it was a simple romance anime with comedy elements but it has such great deep meanings behind freindship , love and also ambitions and hobbies in life, i love it so much so far,

[@tanyakomputernvt]

1 Years later, Manglobe Defunct and no more The World God Only Knows.

[@gertrudeamoako6520]

The skip made me think I skipped a season 😤😤🥺🥺

[@c82over]

I'll admit this show is one of my guilty pleasures. You might even notice some loose spirit sensor loops in my uploads (*I can't believe those are still there*) Very few half season animes get a third season which is a testament to the popularity of the series. Unfortunately, the shows creators were also aware of how unlikely a fourth or fifth sequel would be. Instead of continuing the show linearly they jumped forward in time to the Godesss Arc in an effort to please fans of the manga, but at the same time leaving non-readers a bit short changed. Don't be surprised if you try watching this and feel you missed a good chunk of plot. This season also suffers from being the weakest of the three. The goal of conquering multiple heroines at once is a nice change at first, but it ultimately dilutes the series focus and sense of accomplishment. The structure is messier and the heroines lose the spotlight that made them the lovably curious characters we loved in the prequels. Worst of all though, is the actions of the protagonist start to push Keima across the line of eccentric and into the realm of asshole. If you enjoyed the prequels this is a recommended watch. As to whether or not you enjoy it, that depends on how much you can stomach an amoral jerk manipulating a half dozen women you have never been introduced to.

[@edl01reviews]

Actually Ark it techinically wasn't a, "read the manga ending", because the manga actually never follows up on the questions at the end of the Godesses arc. Instead it completely changes direction and starts a bizarro time travel arc, which I assume is the creator trying to milk the series for every last penny before it finally dies.

[@Slembi]

The Time Travel arc fits quite well into the series, but it's quite boring in comparison to the rest of the series.

[@edl01reviews]

It's still the case that he totally could have wrapped the series up nicely at the end of the godess arc. Maybe it's just me, but since it started I've just seen this story as a delay tactic to put as much time as possible between finishing the story arc between, Chihiro and Keima, which I've always thought felt unfinished since the Godess arc ended.

[@SumsarH]

what questions are you reffering to? i cant really think of any that were not answered

[@olotocolo]

@blackrave404 He could not ever be ossessed because demons only take bodies of girls. Specyfically those who can get pregnant. And it actually kinda... happened. Keima realised in the past, that he will be the one who set the stage. And that also means making gaps in hearts of (at the time) children.

[@Kodasa_Sinclair]

Yea that ending to the goddess arc really hit me pretty hard. Felt really really bitter sweet.

[@darkchaosmaster7]

Um the reason why it didn't say see you next time was because the Manga wasn't far enough to consider given a fourth season. When Season 3 ended it was barely starting up the Jupiter Arc which took awhile to finish but now that the manga is officially over there a chance Season 4 will come into works being how the final Arc explains everything like the contract Keima made. Why there was goddess in each of those girls. And of course The teacher secret and who she really is. Plus Sentai a few weeks ago announced they are dubbing Season 3.

[@Raaami001]

darkchaosmaster7 rip. 2 years have passed anf still nothing

[@shutter-chan]

Manglobe closed down because they went bankrupt. Unfortunately there's no season 4 to expect enymore.

[@italianbro9536]

Bro I'm here in 2017 the ending irritated me so badly, thanks for summing it up for me though!

[@Shizu_Kare]

I find it funny how these 2 suggestions for anime at the end were identical to the suggestions you made for Watamote.

[@TheDashingProduction]

The suggestions were kind of bad. Lucky Star has no spark as TWGOK and Welcome To The NHK seemed like its own thing. But TWGOK has its own thing too which is why I love it.

[@xKreativexHearts]

This arc was one of my favorites, but it also had that huge flaw you mentioned so I could see where you're coming from. Great job on the review.

[@Borderose]

Love the series. Still, seriously pissed that they skipped over the Tsukiyo arc.

[@james12roe]

Years after originally watching twgok, i remember how enjoyable it was and that the ending was... well you know. so I read the manga, what would have been a 4th season was great (aka read it, its good) and i thought "hey this would be even better as an anime" did some research (as in wiki) to found out that Manglobe the studio behind the series had filed for bankruptcy in 2015. joy. i think Arkada would like (if you haven't read it already)

[@davidplayhard]

I love it when he adds that little 'legally' tid-bit at the end. Hehe

[@tehawsumninja]

AWESOME!!!! A NEW REVIEW!!!! I really enjoyed this arc, but not as much as the first arc (Of course, that's probably because it was something different and new to me). I gotta admit, the ending left me wanting more and the manga didn't help much either...I do like the direction it took though, making his past "conquered" remember him. Great review as always, Arkada. I'll be waiting for the next ^^

[@AOnAcid]

dammit your original review is blocked. also i was really fucking confused at that character skip i thought I'd missed a season or something but nope it just wasn't there.

[@ariaaisaka8056]

Yeah, I totally feel you... I also feel the emptiness inside me like I was missing some important details... I might as well READ THE MANGA...

[@MyGoodApollo]

Haven't watched the anime but the manga for world god only knows was great, and its actually finished unless some long running manga.... The ending is also pretty good, a little rushed, but satisfying.

[@erosion2205]

I think the reason why they did that is because the studio was going under sadly. I hope to god the anime continues someday. But it probably won't

[@Zencast5]

The Studio that made this anime had to file for bankruptcy in 2014. So the chances of this coming back will never happen.

[@AI_KyunNotAnEgg]

Yep. Thanks to people like arkada stream it but don't buy the blu ray

[@ZhleStinger]

Finally, a review for the Goddesses arc! A new perspective!

[@tokanite]

Meh, I didn't read the manga but I still loved this series, and had no issues with the plot. I thought the re-cap did a good enough job and didn't leave me feeling lacking. Also thought the ending was amazing. Yeah it doesn't wrap up everything, but that kind of emptiness really reflects the MC's inner turmoil and the emptiness/sadness he feels for breaking hearts.

[@EasilyHax]

Shit gets so crazy after this arc in the manga. Keima quite literally gets caught up in the past. And you also come to a crazy realization regarding all the girls whom Keima conquerors, but thats all for you to figure out after "reading the manga"

[@javianbrown8627]

The best part about this was it was the first time Keima had a mental breakdown

[@Milnard]

Nah dude, the best part is when keima tryna conquer the library book girl...

[@hikarukazekami7587]

ive noticed that you have seen code geass. i would love to see you make a gr anime review for both seasons. plz take that into consideration.

[@PriKonPeko]

i'm 100% agree with that i have the same idea asking him that

[@raynanwhiteturkey7196]

i agree. please think about it. Im sure you would get positive feed back

[@vikaskyatannawar8417]

code geass doesn't need a review i think and arkada doesn't review popular shows.

[@hikarukazekami7587]

code geass needs a review. thats that

[@PriKonPeko]

code geass is not that popular like naruto and bleach a great anime like code geass must have a review like clannad and the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya

Hey Arkada can you review Casshern Sins?

could you review bake-,nise-,nekomonogatari and monogatari second season please? :D

who arkada or me? well if arkada hasnt seen it... what the FUCK is he waiting for?!? O.O

[@fjdkslfjdkwhgioperwhgjkoldsf]

i really have no idea.

[@Aetohatir]

arkada, It appears I am your hair senpai, therefore I command you to watch the monogatari series!

[@ihusmal1234]

Aetohatir Think he explained it in one of his podtaku episodes. (I don't really expect you to know this since each episode is an hour long and you have to be a pretty hardcore otaku to know everything they talk about.) But he mentioned that he knows it's good even w/o watching it, and actually watching it might ruin it, so he doesn't want to watch it. I don't recall what the topic was about. Something about hype related with SAO2 and attack on titan or something.

[@sousukesagara193]

I too didn't read the manga but it didn't really bother me that they skipped some of the girls's arcs , and the ending didn't feel like a "read the manga" ending to me , I hope they do another season but anyways great review as always

[@patathatapon]

I liked the world god only knows, especially Keima as a character. I did think the third season was a bit dumb at the start though. By the end I liked it, especially the end of the last episode and it showing Keima afterwards.

[@mohamedshalaby1067]

A classic I say, and no one can change my mind.

[@Bloqueado7]

the score should have had the same treatment that attack on titan's score had (a possible upgrade on the score) cuz there will most likely be another season concluding the story...

[@bruhmoment11111]

This didn't age well.

[@cringeconnoisseur6037]

[@Legendaryknight2]

Kami nomi is my favorite series, the goddess arc is really great and so is the rest of the plot after that, you can see how the author carefully built the plot from the early chapters with some foreshadows to the real thing. And then they decided to flush this down the toilet with the third season.

[@tomaO2]

Isn't it hypocritical to complain about skipping over the manga when, in your previous review, you stated that you wished that they would skip over these arcs? I don't recall you mentioning that you wished only the plot irrelevant girls were skipped over. The anime does exactly what you want but you make no mention that you even wanted them to do exactly what they did. Seems like a poor criticism to me, especially since you used that to completely overpower the entire review. You barely talked about the story itself, just going on, and on, about how it skipped over some of the middle of the manga. It's fine to mention it, but you should qualify yourself by mentioning that it was what you specifically asked for, so you can't exactly let that one thing completely define whether or not you liked it. I also felt that calling the ending a "read the manga" ending to be a lie. The goddesses are brought together, the big bad is defeated, everyone is sort of getting along. Are we disappointed that Keima didn't decide who his love interest is? He doesn't have a love interest. Everything he did through the entire thing was an act. Once he no longer needs to fake it, that truth can come out. Could the ending have been done in a way that made it more closed off then it was? Sure! However, you don't really need to read the manga. You can simply say that the big bad was defeated and people went back to their normal lives, the end. We are lucky to even have this arc at all. We all know it's unlikely to get a fourth season. So, should the third season have focused on more of the same? If that had happened then there would have been no ending at all. Seasons one and two do NOT have an ending. Assuming that Season Three is it, at least it has something to finish on.

[@luuk2587]

I know this comment is 5 years old, but what about Keima trying to break the contract with Elsie. This was a pretty big motive for Keima throughout the series and in the last few episodes they didnt even mention it, nor was the contract over at the end of the anime.

[@GTONeko]

I'm definitely up there with you about not quite giving a full recommendation. It was just SO close to getting it, but with the fact of there being a few conquests that wasn't shown at all (you had to read the manga basically), that's what dragged it down for me. If they had shown EVERYTHING, then it'd be up there without a shadow of a doubt as one of my top series for sure. Of course, the one part that I REALLY wished they had shown was the body switch conquest. With what they did in the show with having to do the reconquer, I just laughed my ass off from the hilarity of it all. But even so, I too had that nagging feeling and with how some people not willing to take that step of looking up the manga or don't have enough time to, that hurts making that full recommendation. So I'm definitely with you for giving the Stream It rating. It was SO close, but not quite.

[@glittch135]

-anime spoilers- I really liked the end of the goddess arch.. Not everyone can be a winner, and we were left with Chihiro heart broken on stage, as the odd ball out. Not only that we found the main character on the roof, not looking down at his games, but at his hands, regretting what he'd done (to her)... It put a real nice realization in how much of a douche you can be while running a harem. I was not "happy" with the ending, on the contrary I cried cause Chihiro was awesome. But at the same time.. I was really happy with the ending...

[@stevenmyers3998]

Good review, but I actually felt the opposite about the ending. I feel that I would be satisfied if the series ended right here. We finally saw Keima open up, the one thing I'd been waiting for since the start of the series. Speaking of which, I also wish he had talked about how much more emotional this season was compared to the other two, particularly at the end.

[@ReviewsByShinta]

You should review the 2012 JoJo reboot.

Does anyone else like love Arkada and the way he just manages to review an anime while being so formal ?

You uploaded this on my birthday! SWEET! Love this series, but most people that don't read the manga probably wouldn't enjoy it as much... and people that did read the manga will be a little ticked to know how much they skipped... Meh, it doesn't matter, I will always recommend this series

[@sergeantassassin3425]

Edit: MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD Didn't like the fact that, in the anime, Keima basically gets shafted after saving the world (partially his own fault, but he's basically ignored the real world for close to a decade and a half, and Chihiro is his first (actual) love), and I had to read the last chapter of the manga to feel as if, while not immediately lovey-dovey, Keima and Chihiro will probably end up together. Shouldn't have to jump through that many hoops (yes, one hoop is one too many) to reach closure with any particular anime/manga. Otherwise, loved the series.

[@Chronoflation]

This was finally licensed along with the OVAs. Thank goodness. I can put up with the missing dating sim arcs, I still really enjoy this final season and OVA set

[@Tahmitron697]

A good recommendation to this show would be Date A Live since both of the protagonists have to make a group if girls fall in love with them.

[@phoenix7240]

wow thanks for reminding me i have to finish the last to episodes of that before season 2 airs.

reading the world god only knows manga was probably one of the best decisions i've ever made regarding anime, close to picking up ping pong after having dropped it on episode 2.

[@Kirkmaximus]

Great review as usual. Any "read the manga" ending is just a production companies way to save money and make more through manga sells. In short, it is a bad marketing scheme that we the customer should rebel against and not pay for. This however, leaves us at the mercy of critics and what ever reviews available to us. Luckily we can trust Arkada and watch him for free on youtube.

[@colerulz13]

So, I want another season but, I know at this point it's gonna be impossible

[@JenarW4F]

Arkada review Highschool of the dead!

[@Cludensyo]

If it does get another season, well.... - There has been 3 arcs(conquests) since the goddesses arc and the manga is currently on the 4th one. - On the plus side, the arcs are more about Keima's character. (Well, the 2nd and 1st kinda aren't if memory serves me right) - They might do a lot of skipping because a lot has happened. We're talking about 4+ volumes but some parts of the arcs can be skipped. And the pacing in the manga is slow as molasses. - This might be the final arc. :'( I don't know if you're being annoyed by me doing this but sorry, I just love it. :D and P.S. Bringing the goddesses together would also catch all the runaway spirits that had escaped. Thus, allowing Keima to have a shortcut and allowing the story to be something other than conquests.

[@Tahmitron697]

I personally love the third season however i wasn't satisfied with this ending and I hope there is a 4th season coming out

[@dubanimeshows]

true dat :)

[@joevargas2395]

The way you explain is just prefect

[@olotocolo]

It's awfully sad that we never got season 4. When I first watched anime I genuinely thought ending of S3 was "the ending". But it goes on, and in this it changes A LOT. Many could complain that the show was heavly upbeat, even with dmeons possesing people, and some ancient war in the background. And it was contrived, every girl (nearly) that needed conquering was around Keima, and all the goddesses were. Heck, even Keima realised it, and deducted godesses need to be close to him, cause it all seemed like it was manufactured specifically for him. That someone set up all these events for him. And he was right. Moreover, HE was the one that set up the stage. It fills the hole in the story of why he didn't remember Tenri. Not to mention that it explains so happy reality of his life. The past was... dark. And dangerous. There even is a SWAT team massacred by demons. All the happines is a product of Keima's plan, seting the events in proper way. Even more than that, Keima was the one who painted targets on those girls backs. And realisation fo what he will have to do, nearly breaks him. He wanted to start the whole setup again, try pursuing better future, just so to avoid it. I ust love the ending, all the loose stings tied together. And the fact it does nto end in harem. Keima chooses one, the only one who ever defied his conquest.

[@abrararifify]

I know this was commented 9 months ago but that hits the nail in the coffin. It's a shame there won't be a season 4 as it would definetly be warranted given the ending. Despite the noise regarding the ending of the manga, it made perfect sense and really is poetic in a sense.

[@eryalmario5299]

The studio got bankrupt :(

[@DoubleR56]

When the series started, I did expect a sudden stop after the goddess arc, simply because the next part of the manga is still going on. What I didn't expect was the skip of Yui and Tsukiyo's story lines. Though I liked the season, I was dissapointed that they didn't at least make 2 more OVA around their stories. Great Review. I'm happy to know TWGOK is on your short list.

"Read the manga"-ending, you say? I disagree, I'd say the ending to this season was actually fairly conclusive. True, there IS another major story-arc after it in the manga (which has recently been announced to be the final one), but this arc was basically set up as like, THE big conclusion that would resolve the entire overarching conflict. And this arc did technically conclude that... only for the manga to then tack on another arc after it which honestly, I find it hard to like as much just because the very premise of it is kinda... what. Though yeah, them skipping well over a year's worth of manga material was really annoying. Especially seeing how one of those rather important arcs that they completely skipped over, was also one of my favorite arcs in the series. And it DOES bother me that I can't really recommend this anime anymore without adding "Oh, but make sure you also read the manga up to chapter 114 before watching season 3, or else it won't make sense"... That said, as someone who HAS read the manga, I can at least say that this was a fairly good adaptation OF that portion of the story. Even if it is admittedly rather compressed. (Like, there was a semi-prominent demon-character from the manga who was COMPLETELY removed from the anime.) Then again considering how annoyingly long this arc went on for in the manga, maybe them cutting it down a bit was a smart move.

make a video of all of your final verdicts kinda wrapped into one ^_^ cant wait for your new videos!

[@kimgazia1884]

God, please read the fucking manga. omg it gets so much better. SOOO MUCH BETTER. not only do you miss like 7 conquests. But the last arc after the goddess arc is fucking amazing. Time travel, a final battle, amazing plot. and guess what? The fucker Keima actually picks a girl at the end of the manga. Not telling who, just fucking read it. please god.

[@angryicecube3684]

If the time travel arc was an anime it's will be billions better soooooo yeah

[@EasilyHax]

Somehow I just knew you were going to include Welcome to the NHK in your recommendation list, and the funny thing is they don't even share much in common.

[@domestic_sausage8643]

are you gonna review Guilty Crown?

[@ChrisBTW3]

The beginning of this this video sums up my entire experience with the second half of Attack on Titan. As soon as the second half began, the anime just went downhill for me, but it is a good thing that the manga brought back my faith in AoT. (Go ahead fanboys hate me, I stand tall behind my opinion about the second half of AoT)

[@scubatron4033]

I love the show it self, but the ending in the manga was kinda, not clear.... Its almost like they rushed it in order to start a new series which was kind a disappointment. Still though the show is good.

[@ghostlyflower9354]

it was for the best I mean he didn't end with a girl but he got interested in the only one that fell in love with the real him kinda so i wouldn't say that the ending is bad and I won't say that it is perfect but I will say that the ending is cute.

[@ghostlyflower9354]

and yes the final arc is rushed and weird and I don't like it

[@Trex80X]

I really liked this season and did read the manga first. It doesn't go that much farther ahead of the goddess arc so it might take a while to get an adaptation. That could be the reason they didn't say "see you next season"

[@jericorioflorido572]

I heard the company went bankrupt

[@Nak1895]

Another good review Arkada. I was a reader of the manga and a fan of the anime, so I was thrilled to see them skip to this arc in the series. But because of this, I was always curious about the people who hadn't already read the manga. You brought up some very understandable points, in my opinion. I must say though, I am really enjoying the manga. The final arc that we are in is pretty interesting, and different from that of the formulic arcs and even the Goddess arc. However, the Goddess arc was the best one in the series.

[@ConstantNexus]

I pretty much flipped my shit when I read the ending to the manga. I haven't been that disappointed by an ending for a long time

[@TheHenriGame]

why? I think the end was good

[@darkchaosmaster7]

TheHenriGame People are just piss that their favorite heroine wasn't chosen. I like the ending. There was logic behind his choosing. Plus if you re-read the Manga and pay close attention there hints the author gave away who Keima like. It was a not a surprise for me when he choose the girl he truly love. That the only reason why people are mad. I mean even if the author left it open ended where Keima didn't choose a girl. Everyone would have still been mad. So I am glad he ended up with the girl he pick. Just mad he didn't build on them more like give them a whole chapter on how their relationship is going. Not just "Let have some tea" That the only part I didn't like. I wanted to see more of them together.

[@ConstantNexus]

darkchaosmaster7 Actually, I didn't have a problem with the girl chosen, it was obvious. My issue was that the ending seemed thrown together with plot stuff that kinda came out of nowhere. Plus there's the whole reset thing that annoyed me as well.

[@darkchaosmaster7]

ConstantNexus Well it not the author fault. From a few sources(including him being sad about it ending) have been saying is that the magazine decide to axe the series so that gave the author very short window time. The whole reset thing what do you mean? The last arc imho was well done it made everything kind fit. It made things go smoother has to why where the girls close to him the host for goddess has as well has to why Elsie was chosen to be Keima buddy. The only thing I wish was the author expanded more on Keima and Chihiro because the hints are scatter everywhere but it hard to remember them all because they are so scatter it crazy to keep jumping back and forth. Plus we never got to see Keima Father. I mean who is he. I mean he was able to get Keima Mom who was a biker gang to marry him. So that means he must a GOD as well. I hope in his spin-off he at least address a few of those tings.

[@TheHenriGame]

darkchaosmaster7 I liked the ending, but I hate when they put time traveling on a manga or anime, that kind of ruined future diary for me

[@zeromuza]

I'd love to see a review of Golden Boy. It's only six episodes long but it must be one of the, if not the, funniest anime out there (english dub). Anyhow, keep up the great work.

[@Majora359]

Dude, what was with those recommendations? Those two are, like, the opposite ends of the spectrum.

[@progmistro]

yeah Date a Live works, also maybe Ano Natsu de Matteru for romance aspect of it

[@Vile_Oreo]

Why do people keep suggesting Date a live? It's otaku bait at best.

[@japz321]

Nihilism55 because you need to date a girl and kiss them.... its the same formula for twgok

[@SolidSmiech]

To anyone interested in watching this particular season, I highly recommend reading the manga over watching the anime adaptation, assuming you don't have anything against reading manga. The anime version just has too many holes and it really detracts from the arc, which is my favorite in the series. But if you can't for whatever reason read the manga, then watching it will still be worth it, but just know you won't be getting the complete package so you may be confused during some points.

[@TheAntiHeartless]

dude you should review "Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai"

[@javianbrown8627]

Jacob Cooper that thing with the crazy kids?...lol

[@MrTdog754]

I'm probably not in a very large group of people who can say this, but this is easily the best anime I've ever seen. After watching shows like SAO, AoT, Kill la Kill, Soul Eater, 30 episodes or so of One Piece, Accel World, and yes, even Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, I was looking for something to watch and came across TWGOK. And if i'm being honest here, I started watching it because I assumed it would be god awful (because it was a harem, and a RomCom,) and I assumed its terribleness would be slightly fun to watch crash and burn. And then within two days I finished all three seasons, and within another three days I re-watched most of the conquest and all the Goddess season again. And then within a day I read all of the Manga after the S3 ending and some of the skipped arcs (really fucking wish they'd make the Yui arc into an OVA). Honestly, I can almost only give this show praise. Even if all you did was watch the anime, you can still see how the character's are made to not just be stereotypes (Except for a certain library girl and a astronomer). Even at the shows worst it was a very smart and well made work of art with symbolism everywhere. The way if fucking flipped the whole Chihiro arc to where you went from viewing her as the "ordinary lazy bitch" to the "girl with an inferiority complex" was absolutely spectacular, and that's just one of many new ways that the show made me view everyday shit in life. Honestly this show is made with such great characters (Keima is easily my favorite protagonist because of his pseudo-Sherlock mixed with normal person personality), plot development, comedy mixed with emotional scenes, and lessons that should be talked about more often. One of my favorite analysis scenes by Keima is easily when he talks about why a perfect human isn't a good thing (Unfortunately, a scene that was only in the manga.) If you like harems, or even if you hate them, this show should be talked about for what it truly is for the genre, a diamond in the rough.

[@TheLegionGamerXD]

DanganRonpa the animation!!

[@mewtashi]

cheatingnightmare he isn't a fan of dangaronpa

[@mattiahcook2446]

The adaptation, in my opinion, is so much worse than the game. The anime cuts out all character development, a lot of clues from the trials, and the ending is rushed. It's literally murder-trial-murder-trial the whole way through, so people who just watch the anime won't care about the characters at all. The anime would only appeal to people who like murder mysteries, while the game appeals to a much larger audience (such as myself :p) Hence, I don't really want to see Arkada review DR ^^"
