Well keep in mind that he's supposed to be a pretty severe case, worshiped online as the capture god and all. I don't think it works under the presumption that all otaku are like that.

But it's glorifying it. And the fact that otaku everywhere are blowing their loads on this anime only proves my point.

It presumes we're like that because we eat it up.

It won't annoy you if you just throw away that tinted glasses. The whole new world will be in front of you. If you don't, you better not watch this anime since he will go extremely psychopathic about anything related to his 2D world.

Not cool bro... that only proves how majority of people like Keima as a character, since I'm obviously not otaku and never played galge before. This manga/anime and we, are not glorifying otaku. We are glorifying Katsuragi Keima. Hell, we all know how creepy and disgusting some otakus are; that's just common sense.

That's such a stereotype. I am guessing when people think of the word Otaku they are thinking of that fat ugly guy living in his moms basement with dolls everywhere and anime merc all over the place. There are normal people who really like anime as well you know. I really would like to believe that most of the anime population don't watch anime with their pants down.
I myself have played Galge(Visual novels), read manga, and watch anime but all for the story and nothing else.

Anyway Black_Jack. It's only the first episode. Give it time before making any judgments. Don't be an idiot who writes a review after watching just the first episode.

A stereotype to be sure, but let's not pretend they don't exist. It's true that not every otaku is creepy but, at least at my anime club, there's no shortage of otaku who are. Obviously we're all charming and charismatic. I mean come on, we're on a forum! This doesn't mean the image came out of nowhere.

Admittedly liking 2d girls to the point of eschewing women of three dimensions is very rare, but that's not really something found elsewhere so it sticks out in the crowd.

Just because it reflects poorly on us doesn't make it an invalid character. Let's face it, it's not as if our reputation can really be hurt too much further at this point. Especially not by a show pandering to us to the point that it wouldn't interest anyone else (at least outside of japan).

What bugged me was that 'all anime watchers = otaku' treatment. Otaku wasn't really a good term till gainax started wondering around and Kyoani productions like suzumiya and lucky star. It still isn't. A lot of people are simply anime fans, who isn't obsessive like otaku stereotype; like most of people who is said to be 'blowingtheirloadonthisanime'. Blah.

True otaku pandering anime is when there are overdose of fanservice and moe... This anime isn't low as those...

That's a really valid point. People might jokingly say 2D > 3D, but if they really do saying it out load with proud, there is something wrong with them.

In case of Keima, that's why he is so sugoi.

This is something I've struggled with in the past. At what point are you otaku? You can watch anime without being otaku, and even be an anime enthusiast. My personal stance at this point is that if you consider yourself a member of otaku culture then you're otaku. So participating in forums, getting excited about isml, enjoying the fringe parts of otaku culture (Visual novels, live action, J-Pop etc.) These are all things that could lead to someone being otaku. That is not to say that any one of them is necessary to be otaku, or that otaku is even properly measurable using such things, merely a very vague, general, and flexible guideline I use.

Now that we're talking about it though I don't think Keima ever calls himself (or is called) otaku. I think he just considers himself a gamer.

That is not to say that any one of them is necessary to be otaku, or that otaku is even properly measurable using such things, merely a very vague, general, and flexible guideline I use.
The reason for me not being otaku is quite simple; when I met some Japanese friends, I asked them how hardcore someone should be to be called as true 'otaku'. They said an example; 'If you are 'Sailer-moon otaku, you need to know every single details about all the characters from that anime, including hair colour, height, weight, age, likes and hates; and also need to know details of all the scenes, such as the question 'how much time moon comes out when transformation sequence occurs?'.

One of the Korean otaku website has professional testing quizzes that test whether you are otaku or not. It basically had bunch of questions like 'What is Konata's birthday?', which should be very easy question for real otaku. Apparently, you need to get 90% correct answer to be called 'otaku'. I saw similar quizzes in some Japanese site or what. Whether those are jokes or not, level of being otaku is extreme higher than you expect.

It's not just liking or being fan of something that matters; it is level of 'obsession' that determines otaku. However, I admit it becomes vague when you use term 'otaku culture', not otaku by itself. I can say I somewhat belongs to the area of otaku culture, but I'm still not otaku.

I hope it is explained well... >_> If you compare most of 'self-proclaiming non-japanese anime otakus' and 'JAPANESE otakus', you can find some extremely huge gap between them in terms of their knowledge (well.. SPECIFIC and DETAILLED knowledge) and mental mindset.

Fair enough. There are often discrepancies between how the words are used in japan and elsewhere. I sometimes forget that Otaku is a pretty severe term in Japan. It's almost the opposite effect of what's found with anime. With it being a pretty specific meaning to us over here. But in Japan it's just animation. Flash cartoons and all sorts of stuff would be included.

Under the Japanese definition I suppose Keima would definitely be a eroge otaku.

Otaku culture would also be an entirely different thing depending on nationality. Over here there's an entire language to it. Megane nekomimi loli yuri. If we see a picture with that title we know what we're getting without having to open it and that has huge significance. In japan it's all pretty self explanatory.

Well, there are cases when some words are unique to those own culture. I have Korean background, and we have word which well describes what otaku is in basis (おたく= 폐인). That's why I understand how extreme it is. In English, only 'Mania' or 'Nerd' is the term that has at least closer meaning to the word otaku. So, I found a lot of people defining the word otaku a bit lightly, which sometimes comes to me as an insult when others call me IRL, 'hey otaku!'. (Actually, English word that is closest to the meaning of otaku is 'Anorak'.

I think they do seperate between anime and cartoon, simply by saying 'American Animation' for cartons, like we alternatively call anime 'Japanese Animation'. But it's just my guess. Since I know how to speak Korean, I have general understandings how Japanese terminologies work.

Under the Japanese definition I suppose Keima would definitely be a eroge otaku.
In this case, he is much closer to GOD than simple otaku, though. :D

So what you're saying is, I should stop being annoyed by negative character traits or I won't enjoy the series? Um......no. I still enjoyed the episode, even if the protagonist bugs me. It wouldn't be the first time I liked a series, but hated the main character.

Alright, alright, everyone here deserves to have their point of view respected. I find it perfectly understandable that Black_Jack has doubts about Keima even if I thought he was awesome from the beginning; it's very rare to see a character well-liked for having negative traits and being the main character.

Black_Jack said:

Although Keima does have a lot of negative personality traits, I think that it actually adds to his character than detract from it. This series would not work at all if Keima was the generic guy in a dating sim type of character, as it's his difficult personality coupled with his subtle development that ultimately differentiates it from any other story that involves a dating sim scenario.

The most I'll say is that the reasons why Keima is amazing for all of his character flaws aren't readily apparent early on, and he does not become nicer until a lot later than that.

This is actually starting to remind me of an argument I used to frequently have about whether or not Homer Simpson was responsible for a decline in intelligence in north america. The other party would always say that homer glorified stupidity, incompetence, and alcoholism because this is where much of his humor comes from and people find him hilarious and love him. I'd always respond that people found homer simpson hilarious and enjoyed his antics, but no one wants to be homer simpson.

Of course Black_Jack hasn't said anything to that effect with this character. Merely that the shedding of these negative traits in a positive light bothers him. Which is fair. We all have our pet peves. It sounds like he's having fun anyway so no reason to go into conversion mode.

I haven't read the manga, but this episode really was great. For some reason it was really enjoyable and it didn't reel rushed or slow, more like perfectly executed. The story, the humour and the romance... everything felt perfect.
My only concern is that this may be a "one episode - one girl" kind of show and that will make it bad. Hopefully, it won't. Anyone who has read the manga might know?

It shouldn't be one ep per girl. ayumi's arc was an intro and was only 1 chapter i believe. the others should have longer spanning arcs.

putting that aside i thought this was really well done. loved the ep and the animation. makes me wish i didn't ruin everything already with the manga :(

I have to say, the first episode has pleasantly exceeded my expectations. I was fairly worried about the quality of the animation from early screencaps and concept art, but I see now that I have nothing to worry about; the animation studio is the same one that did Popotan and Nurse Witch Komugi, which adapted surprisingly well to this series. Of course, only time will tell if they keep the quality going for later episodes. This is the pilot, meaning they poured way more effort than normal into it.

The opening was stylish and entertaining, but I don't believe it will be used for episodes 2 onward, again a feature for some animes. The actual opening doesn't look to bad though.

All in all, I am still incredibly stoked for this; my long-time wishes have finally been answered; I started reading this series the moment the first chapters were translated and have loved it ever since. I even cosplayed as Keima back a few years ago, but since the anime wasn't out then no one knew who I was... > > Maybe I will try again this summer.

For people who wanna know, it seems like this season (12 eps) will deal with the first 8 girls in the manga storyline. There has already been a confirmation for season 2, which is not too surprising given the structure they have decided on for the plot.

has there really been a confirmation for 12 episodes this season? i was expecting it to be 24 episodes. having a single episode for each capture is very rushed. i tried to test out fitting chapters together to form episodes (prediction) and it seems the majority of captures has enough material to last 2 episodes (well, more like 1 and a half).

heres my prediction list if anyone is interested. contains spoilers of course.

Mio's arc will be finished in episode 3, which was confirmed in new-type if I remember. Episode 4 is infinite loop chapter, although I'm not sure whether they will include CAPTURING GOD MODE part or not. This means there will be 8 episode left over for term 1. It will be ridiculous having only Kanon and Shiori arc for that long; I'm assuming that 2nd OP will be made once Shiori is captured.

My guess is, the reason that Wakaki mentioned about 'episode length determined by DVD sales' is because Manglobe apparently one to make this long title. There are already plenty full of really good materials out and it is one of few manga that is getting BETTER with this long running 100 chapters.

huh. thats strange. the infinite loop got switched around to ep4? from the chapter list the first 4 captures happened before that. guess i really do need to wait a bit longer before the prediction can settle.

i was skimming through the chapters while making the list, so i felt like there should be enough for 2.....well 1.5 episodes. it depends on whether or not the anime omit scenes or add filler scenes that decides the real length. going with the basis of ep1 (consisting ~60pages) while the other capture arcs have ~80 pages (each chapter has ~20 pages, mio has 3 chapters, others have 4)

The twelve episodes idea is my on analysis, so I might have to eat my words if I'm mistaken. However, here's source for second season
http://www.moetron.com/2010/10/05/the-world-god-only-knows-season-2-date-leaked/
(though a leak this early doesn't guarantee anything either...)

yes, eight girls is too much for one season, but how about just the first four?
(three girls left - two or three episodes per girl, leaves plenty of room for non-girl eps and the finale.) I've seen the key animations for the actual opening (though possibly fake) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOef4MnubPQ
they show the first eight girls;
perhaps they planned all along to do two seasons then?

well the 1st episode only showed the first chapter BECAUSE its the first chapter. usually the first chapters are 3 times longer than normal (~60 pages).

well if thats the case, then PV for the season is a complete teaser, since it showed the first 8 captures. also 3 episodes for a single capture seems a bit too much. but like i said, i cant say anything until the 2nd capture airs.

I was thinking in terms of "cliffhanger points"; if the anime is following the manga this closely, then they will probably want to end the episodes on the same cliffhanger points as the chapters. You never know though. I hadn't taken into account the extra-long first chapter as you mentioned.

In any case, much will be revealed in the second episode...

Wow, that was hilarious. The funniest first episode I've watched this season. I'm not into harem series (and I haven't read manga) but if the next episodes are as good as this one, I'll definitely watch this.

yea i considered the "I can see the ending!" points to be a good place to put in the middle of the episode, so intermission happens and we move to the capture point. Considering the usual captures (not Mio, she's like an introduction capture), they have 4 chapters for their capture. To sum up the 4 chapters with how I remember it: Introduction, Contact, Dilemma, Capture.
ex. Ayumi: Introduction - Classmate and Fast Runner, Contact - Keima Super Banners, Dilemma - Sempai Bullying, Capture - straightforward

another example to show why i thought Kanon's story can fit 2 episodes.


With how it works, you can have 1.5 episodes, since the first 3 points are related, but you cant leave half an episode for a capture. so its either they expand or omit some parts of the contact portion. Expand it, dilemma and capture is the 2nd episode. Omit it, 1 episode although the capture timing will be a bit awkward, but it can work if done right (surely Keima can make it work)

Amazing opening! I was going to get around to reading this series, but I guess I'll watch it first.

Shall definitely be watching the next episode.


Same for me, never read the manga and was hesitant to try the anime, but I did end up enjoying it. I thought the MC being a god of dating sims would be a loser, but seems to be an alright guy.

Yep. Keima is a pretty cool guy. He has capture over 1000 and doesn't afraid of anything.

To all those who haven't;

the manga is fantastic and you should start reading it if you liked what you saw. Same storyline (so far), and the art style is fantastic. Some of the best "chibi" characters I've seen.

Actually, what you guessed is pretty accurate. From what I know, 3rd episode will be separated into two parts, by the name of last two chapters of mio arc. They are definitely trying to make this series in chapter by chapter.

Awesome!!! Can't wait for ep2. Great OP and Keima is not some stupid/hopeless/failure guy that can be easily found in any harem anime

Though this will be harem but in the end he said that Ayumi have lost all memory of the capture ...
