I went into this anime not knowing anything and unknowingly discovering one of my new favorite animes. Its definitely a very niche title. I was surprised by the quality when I first started watching. It's funny, unique, never feels like it's recycling itself too much through all 3 seasons and OVAs, a ton of different characters get introduced and presented and they're all just so great I love them all.
I really love the main character and secondary characters a lot, the plot is pretty interesting and engaging. I'm a sucker for rom com and harem animes and this is a masterpiece of the two. We get to see how our main character, Keima, grows through each 3 seasons and progress is made. It's interesting to note that they do the same thing every episode only in a different way and it's still super fun to watch.
The studio behind this anime made an amazing first opening and then the rest of the openings and endings afterwards weren't my taste but the first opening has a lot of life to it I can't really explain too well but I listen to it a lot. Animation is great considering the time this came out, a lot of love was put into this.
Kinda sucks how they skipped over a few chapters but it had me go and read the manga and realize just how good the studio did at adapting the manga and now I'm glad I had a reason to go and read the manga and re experience this story. S3 has a strange opening episode, it's the same material only just a little bit different because it's like the studio acknowledges that they skipped over a few "captures" from the manga and takes time to subtly mention it through keima internal dialogue. The details of the order of events changes a little bit but it's very similar to the manga. The entirety of season 3 was different from the last two seasons and in my opinion is the best of the 3. It had everything that made this show so special to me. It is a tragedy that the anime ends right after season 3, the manga is complete and just as enjoyable but it's a shame the show wasn't able to continue til the very end, but I'm grateful that I was able to experience it. I am thankful for my existence.
I guess this review didn't really cover too much of what actually happens in the show but it's more so my feelings towards this piece of art.
I just wish more people knew of this masterpiece of a rom com.
