My favorite anime is back :'D
So good. Bummed they skipped all of those chapters, but this series needs to pick it up on the attention list. This show needs to attract more viewers.

They skipped a part of the manga which is a shame i was looking forward to see some of those girls being captured in animation.
What was worse is that it went immediately to Kanon who is one of the few girls in Kami no Sekai that i dislike, shamefully she happens to be one of the favourite girls of the author.
Guess we have to live with it.

The biggest shame however is that we didn't get to see Haqua's lifestyle and her funny abstract partner.
And above all we don't get to see that scene!! (All Haqua fanes that read the manga should know which scene i mean)

kami no mizo shiru sekai megami arc without doubt it's one of the best arc in manga, in mangafox they even beat 3 top manga with initial N,B,F for a few month in rank 1.
without doubt it's 10/10 master piece

but too badddd kinda sad the other girl not exposed :( hopes they make ova for each girl just like tenri :( , even thou seems impossible to do that now :v

even thou i said that :3 i'll still watching till the end, since chihiro here will be so amazing :3

The quick recap actually worked even though I was crying throughout it because they skipped all those wonderful arcs. I guess for those who don't read the manga it is a bit more confusing. The episode really picked up when it began focusing on Kanon and how she remembers.

Pray for OVA captures 2013.

I'm sorry, did I somehow miss an ENTIRE SEASON?!!? I guess they wanted to get to the good stuff, but skipping that many girls isn't fair, especially if some of them are important to the current plot! I was really looking forward to shogi girl, too...I guess I have to read the manga now.

That being said, this arc seems promising. No way am I dropping this after loving the first two seasons so much!

It's fine skipping a few girls. It's all a standard affair anyway (they have a loose soul, Keima solves their problem, they kiss blah blah). It follows the same formula as the other characters. And when it's time for those characters' goddess to show up they'll will most likely expand a little more on them anyway.

They did it much better than I first expected but it was probably because that said expectation was near zero.

For those that are interested on Yui Goidō (The girl that Keima swaped body with) and Tsukiyo Kujyō (The girl obsessed about beauty who grew as small as a doll) but do not feel like reading the manga, here's a small summary taken from the Kaminomi Wiki for their arc.
It's somehow an important part to read because these are two key character this season.

Yui Goidō - Gender Bender Arc


Tsukiyo Kujyō - Moon Child Arc


I do not recommend checking the wiki pages themselves because there're some major spoiler on it. I simply secluded the information about the arcs which are a prequel to this season.

Read everything else up until now (Chapters 42-55, 66-113)

This series does flashbacks from all of the above, specifically focusing on the conquests between 42-55 and 66-113. It is successful in its adaption I feel, but you will understand so much more by reading those.


Thanks! I'll read those chapters before I watch the Goddess Arc

Two thoughts on this issue:
On one hand, I find it interesting that many non-manga readers (from what I have seen in different forums) actually understand the story, or at least have a grasp of what's going on, despite the time skipping.
On the other hand, The Goddess Arc seemed like an indirect, albeit a quite clever, commercial to the manga itself, as those who were confused on the story, or those who would like to know what they're missing, would be forced to read the manga.

I like the episode it feels somehow new and refresh with this Goddess arc. The only thing I want to know is: In what points does the manga make the other girls arcs? I am curious how all this incidents happened to Keima. Hoping to be a great season of KamiNomi. Well just that and thanks.

Between the end of the OVA and the start of the season 3.
The OVA finish at chapter 64, season 3 starts at chapter 114.

If you want to read the parts that they didn't cover then you should read chapters 65-113.

This is unlikely.
The most probable reason is that there were too many conquest to continue at the pace the show was going.
Season 1 covered 4 conquests, season 2 covered 3 conquests. It is easy to see that at this pace it would take two others seasons before actually reaching the goddesses arc.
This is a bet that Manglobe cannot afford to makes. As the next season highly depends on the sale of the precedent season, the current season seems like a very reasonable way of handling it.
If they had continued to animate the manga so perfectly, there would have lot of fan that would be rebutted by the constant pattern of 'capturing girls + the story not going anywhere'. Therefore the best way to approach this was to actually head straight to the core of the plot, aka the goddesses arc.

The problem is how the time skip would be handled and I give props to Manglobe for that. Not only did they managed to seclude the important plot points of the arcs they skipped, they did so in an entertaining and clear manners. Deen should take example on how to do a recap of past events

So glad I took a few extra hours to read the manga so that the jump from 2nd season to Goddess arc wasn't as "huh?" as it might've been....

Although I pretty much forgot everything that happened in the 1st season so I guess it works out =x

Surprised they found 'Apollo' rather fast though...how many Jupiter sisters are there really I wonder....I'm guessing 6?

They should have animated all the godess candidates before going onto this arc. I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't read the manga. Other than the flashback being rushed and so obvious, the rest of the episode was really good.

The World God Only Knows is back, yeahhhh!! I kinda feel sorry for the non-manga readers although they did a recap of the girl conquests that were not animated between season 2 ending and season 3 beginning. Although season 3 even says the 'Goddesses Arc' for a reason.

This first episode was fantastic! Kanon going to Keima for help and even confessing to him and was done perfectly. Apollo is such a reckless and naive goddess. That scene with Apollo getting stabbed was pretty brutal. Oh how I missed Keima playing games in class. So glad we'll see more of Haqua and Diana this season. :)

Why didn't the animators get through Yui and Tsukiyo first instead of summarizing their arcs? D'8 (please ignore this fangirl)

Oh well, at least the goddess arc is animated really well. And since the final moment of the arc is one of the best scenes as well, I can't wait for it to be animated~

But wait, I thought that in the manga Fiore was the one who stabbed Apollo. :/

As expected, they used a flashback and rushed it... but otherwise, it was well animated. Still can't get over the fact that they changed Fiore to Lune though... I won't be able to see those "other" scenes anymore D:

BUT. The biggest problem here probably is...

I had a feeling they were going to skip a lot of content...it hurts to see it actually happen (I really liked some of those arcs). Despite that, I'm sure it would have started to feel a bit repetitive for some people. The goddess arc is definitely one of the best and is seemingly where the "real" story starts.
