The World God Only Knows

Keima maybe a hormone-crazed high school student, but he’s such a nerd that the only contact he has with members of the opposite sex is by way of his many simulated dating games. His lack of interest in real girls is put to the test when he answers a mysterious email and accidentally summons a cute little demon from hell named Elsee. To send her back, Keima must meet, seduce and kiss a series of girls who are unknowingly being possessed by an evil spirit. The girls Keima must save are all familiar anime stereotypes, but the spin the series puts on them is fresh and fun. And although he’s supposed to be learning how to interact with living creatures, the way Kleima uses his video game knowledge to seduce them is clever. Some of the story-lines go on a bit too long, like the one with the pop singer who literally disappears into thin air when people don’t love her, but the pacing of most of the show is fun and effective.
