TheWorld god Only Knows
Plot: Keima Katsuragi, a second-year high school student, is an avid bishōjo game player. He is known on the Internet as "The Capturing God (落とし神 Otoshi-gami?)" for his legendary skills to be able to "capture" any 2D girl in games. However, in his actual school life, Keima is known as otamegane (オタメガネ), a derogatory portmanteau of the two words otaku (オタク) and megane (メガネ-"glasses") and is considered nothing but an intelligent yet gloomy geek with glasses.
At the start of the series, Keima receives an e-mail offering him a contract to "capture" girls. When he accepts it, thinking it is an invitation to a game, a demon from Hell named Elsie appears. She asks for his cooperation to help her in catching runaway spirits. These spirits hide themselves inside the hearts of girls’, and Elsie suggests that the only method to force the spirits out is by "capturing" the girls hearts—making them fall in love with him and filling up the gaps which the runaway spirits hide in. Interested only in 2D girls, however, Keima is appalled by the idea and refuses the assignment as he has no romantic real life experiences whatsoever. Nevertheless, with the contract already agreed, Keima has no choice but to help Elsie no matter what as they will be beheaded if they fail.
While the series focuses on Keima and Elsie adventures on capturing spirits, the series also makes fun and parodying common and popular cliches about dating sims, anime character stereotypes and pop culture.
Review: So right away you might be thinking this anime is too cliché, and seems to be boring how he goes one girl after another saving them all on some hopeless and never ending journey. right? WRONG! look at me, now back to the show, now back to me, what are you holding? It’s a PFP(PSP), with an eroge inside. Look back up, where are you? Your at a japanese high school, filled with tsundere, sports freaks, and idol wannabe’s.Anything’s possible when you watch this show!I’m hungry!
*ahem* yeah, so that’s the show in a nutshull. Also, its murphy’s law for the main character keima. Anything that can or should go wrong, will go wrong. usually he ends up getting dragged into lame tasks that he’s not interested in, and end up causing physical pain some at some point. lol
Overall though I had previously started reading the manga, then got lazy and just started watching the anime and I think this is a pretty enjoyable show. It may seem really corny and cliché at first, but I think it’s kind of meant to be. Also, this show does have hilarious scenes for example:
teacher: “ keima, are you even listening to the lecture!!!??? *makes pissed off face with foot on desk*”
keima:*intensely plays PFP* “hang on a sec, need to save”
So, yeah stuff kike that I find pretty unique to this show. His nonchalant and I don’t really care attitude unless it involves 2D Girls sort of reminds me of Gintoki from Gintama and how he doesn’t really care unless it involves money so hey can buy food. lol
Anyways, I’ve ranted on enough! check it out for yourself! I think it’s one of the must watch shows for the fall season^_^
