Elsie! |
Today, I'm gonna tell you a story I just watched - The World God Only Knows!
Basically, same like IS and Zombie (Look through the post earlier), it's harem-oriented, with such a complex story arcs. Let us see what it's about (Derived from Wikipedia) :
Keima Katsuragi, a second-year high school student, is an avid bishōjo game player. He is known on the Internet as "The God of Conquests" (落とし神 Otoshi-gami) for his legendary skills to be able to "conquer" 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 "conquer" 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 "conquering" 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.
Aside from focusing on Keima and Elsie's adventures on capturing spirits, the series also makes fun and parodying common and popular cliches about dating sims, anime character stereotypes, and pop culture.
Nice summary, right?
So far, the manga and anime are in different leagues, where manga's plot is much further than in anime. In anime, it's twenty four episodes plus two OVAs (13 episodes each season), where Keima had conquered seven girls. In manga world, it's more than ten. Plus, there are more side story and main event where Keima right found an alternative way to finish his contract at quickest pace - By finding Goddess which consist of six of them. For more information, read the manga at your favourite manga site in this NET!
Every of these conquered girls (in anime only) have their own character songs. It's rockin' cool! You can find them and download at webs.
Since this story gets more interesting, I'm gonna post the current chapter summary about this story every week, in widget. Look forward for this :-)
Well, that's it for now. Chaw~~~
