PREMISE

High-school gaming nerd Keima Katsauragi—known online as "The God of Conquest" for his undefeated record at dating sims—accepts a fan request and mistakenly enters a contract from Elsie, an underworld demon tasked with returning escaped souls back to hell. To Keima's dismay, he must apply his skills on real girls—his possessed female classmates! Keima and Elsie's partnership deepens, directly continuing the slapstick romance adventures from the end of S1.

LIKED!

+
characters: compelling new heroines, and Keima’s vulnerabilities were explored more
+
good voice acting
+
enjoyable puns/gags/slapstick comedy and references to other genres & anime

DISLIKED...

–
plot arcs felt a bit inconsequential/disjointed

OTHER THOUGHTS

•
OP: less of a banger than S1, but still energetic, with cool gamer-meets-anime-y graphics. ED: nothing special

CLOSING REMARKS

Though less well-executed than S1, S2 is equally silly and enjoyable, and pleasantly continues the story.

The World God Only Knows II (S2) – 6/10
