The World God Only Knows: Goddesses Arc - 4

Here, we begin to see the dire consequences skipping out the arcs of two goddesses impacts upon the anime adaption. This episode suffered from rushed pacing, mainly due to how the anime is desperately attempting to cram in all the Goddess Arc material into a 24 episode anime. Well, quite a brave tenure, and one that will pay off in the long run. However, waiting every week for a drawn out episode is still not brilliant. Nevertheless, that isn't to say I didn't enjoy it. No, in fact, Kaminomi is probably one of the series I'm enjoying the most, as I constantly anticipate the latest episode. But that won't be the end of any criticism...

If you ever see a girl like this in a library, run. She wants to kill you

Tsukiyo's conquest was the main highlight of this episode, and what made it 500 times worse than what it could've been was her original arc was one of those the studio decided to cut out. A relatively important character who was supposed to contribute to this Tsukiyo miniarc had been completely cut. It doesn't matter what she did, so I'll spoiler. Miss Nikaido (the teacher) helped out Keima, and she gave some pretty good advice too. Another disadvantage from this is that we can't see one of the most brilliant counter plans Keima figured out in this arc.

Is that Yoshikawa from Nichibros?

That sound she made...

Through his unwavering determination, and utter dedication to Tsukiyo, he manages to woo her back. Gentlemen, do not try this out in real life, as all you'll get is a slap, followed by 'You're the worst guy I've ever met'. Only Katsuragi has, and only Katsuragi will ever pull this one off. Vulcan is righteously angry about Tsukiyo’s treatment at Keima’s hands, and unlike Kanon, who didn't quite believe Apollo’s stories, Tsukiyo seems to be working in tandem with her goddess. It's kind of amusing to me that the girl and her guardian don’t exactly want Keima to give an explanation for his actions, though Tsukiyo does ask why he's bothered re-entering her life. I also like how Keima doesn't even bother to explain away his encounters with the other girls, other than a failed attempt to feign ignorance.

Thankfully, Kanon’s dire situation is eased somewhat, and Nora has formed a temporary alliance. Diana, and lets not forget Haqua, are both starting to expressing jealousy over Vulcan’s extremely possessive attitude towards Keima, though in truth it can’t be helped. After all, Diana is the only goddess who’s aware of what Keima is doing and how he’s planning to accomplish it, and thus she’s also the most insecure. What’s interesting about all this is that it’s not Tenri complaining or otherwise upset, but Diana herself, which is both really cute and also kind of sad; after all, she’s not really Tenri, and developing feelings for Keima seems like a bad idea in the long run. Finally, Tenri got wings! That's all I have to say, until next time!
