The rumor mill about the 3rd season has it that it's going to skip all of the conquests after the end of season 2 and just go straight into the Goddess arc (And probably just be 12 episodes long.)

Someone please say it ain't so. There's enough material there for like a good 60+ episodes (Counting all seasons.)

Also they aren't getting Rie Kugimiya to do Tsukiyo, dammit

That's kinda impossible if they want to include all the goddesses. Unless Tsukiyo and Yui just kind of show up out of nowhere.

I think that's the official name now. It's not "III," it's "Megami-hen," so it's covering that specifically. They've even cast Lune/Ryuune.

That's my fear right now. That they're going to try.

Okay, assume they devote 3 or 4 episodes total to both of their captures. That leaves 8-9 episodes to do the entire Goddess arc. Rushed much? Or hell, even if you switch it up and have Keima capture Tsukiyo and Yui in just one episode each, that doesn't help with the 'rushed' aspect.

And then of course there's the problem that they're just completely skipping so many of the other girls, many of which I think show up during the Goddess arc in some form or another. I know Akari is pretty important.

Man, I was so excited when I heard this was going to CONTINUE because I assumed they'd pick up where they left off (I mean look how it ended, with a teaser for just that!) I wasn't expecting them to just skip to everyone's favorite part to make a quick buck and throw the rest in the garbage can.

I hope the rumors are wrong and that it's at least a whaddyacallit, a 4-cour? (At LEAST 3.)


I've heard that the bad DVD sales are all because of some stupid grade school console-war-like loyalty thing, where people wouldn't buy Kami nomi discs because they were made by Sega Manglobe. Is there any truth to that?

Hell, just her arc alone was on the long side, wasn't it? It seemed like that gender swap went on forever. Still, if we don't get to see Yui's mom getting an aneurism animated it will be a crime against nature.

The more I think about this the more it feels like something that will be talked about for years to come.
Like the Star Wars Prequels.

It'd be kind of weird, but could they do the goddess arc now and then re-visit the older arcs in an actual "III" season?

That's a possibility but is still odd that they made a pair of OVA's to introduce Tenri and Diana nad then skip a lot to do the Goddess arc.

Why the hell was Tenri's oxygen tank connected to her gloves and boots? Is this some kind of modern avant-garde moe? Is it okay for Keima to be bringing all this future moe technology back to the past? I'm worried about the stability of the timeline here.

Keima's actions here are the inspiration for the wider moe movement of our time. He has doomed us all to watch lovely anime with his closed loop time travel shenanigans.

This is a raising sim.

Hm... fights demons, is neglectful at best of his charge's desires, has a demon sidekick that he abuses... clearly this is all just leading up to Keima becoming Gendo Shinkicker.

Hmm, Keima tries to bring Tenri to the top ranking because she has no desires to mess up Vintage's plan, unintentionally fosters desire in Tenri for him because apparently not a lot of his galges employ time loop shenanigans so he's woefully unprepared and/or naive, he'll have to fix it somehow...

Seems to be where this is going but hell, I stopped trusting my predictions of this manga ages ago.

Maybe I missed something but the number reflects the strength of their desires, right? But the kids are mistaking it to be a popularity ranking? Since Tenri still doesn't have a ranking after beating the bully girl, comedy duo and now child model, how is she going to be number one (and thereby mess up Vintage's plan) if a ranking doesn't show up on her?

Not really? The model girl is in the last grade, so she's older than most of the boys. The rest are probably old enough to start noticing girls It would been weird if they didn't show at least some interest on what was going on.

They can't all be like Keima, and just focus on 2-D girls, you know. :v:

Doesn't seem to far fetched for Vintage to have a close eye on the event and figured out something is up with Kiema and Tenri. Not much of a stretch to use magic to take on Kiema's appearance to lure away Tenri.

Always nice to see Kiema cutting through the plot so quickly with his quick analysis of the situation. Such a refreshing contrasts to the oblivious protagonists who have obvious flags right in front of their faces.

Finally caught up from all the way from the end of the Goddesses arc. I feel like it's been a rollercoaster ride on tracks that rattle like they might break but somehow don't kill me. I am terrified and laughing.

While the feel of the manga's certainly changed drastically, I do enjoy it when Wakaki drives the plot back to recurring characters and getting them a little more fleshed out each time.

I'm probably going to be let down hard when the next anime season doesn't cover the Hinoki arc, aren't I? :smith:
