Development? Development in the earlier arcs were meant for capturing only. Won't go anywhere further, coz its full stop once the soul is captured. So it fits just right to have each arc completed in about 1 episode, coz there's nothing to expect from it, except expecting how God is so awsm and alike. I already pointed this out before, but let me point it out here again. In TWGOK, only Keima that matters, not the girl. So if anything about development like the girl's development, it should never exceed the development of Keima himself, coz this is series about an awesome god name Keima, not the oh-the-same-girl-story-again-where-the-girl-gets-all-the-credits. Anyway its still early to judge how the pace is going to be for now. We should see first hows the pace with the first 4 girls would be, then only its right to comment then. |

I wasn't complaining about what this show is, I was objecting to the idea that we'll only get an episode per character, which would be less than what the manga has. That post was part of a conversation that you seem to have taken out of context.
The anime's doing a fine job right now. |

One episode per character is better if it means to follow the manga pace near-perfectly, than longer times per character, at the cost of sacrificing certain chapters.
To be honest, seeing this series being a 13 eps only, i already expected that Manglobe would ditched out certain chapter from the manga. Not that i didn't see that coming, but more like i really hope they won't do it, coz every chapter in the manga is worth its own screen times in the anime. |

They're going at about two chapters per episode. The early character arcs take about 4 chapters each. One episode per would be cutting the content in half. It's because every chapter is worth screen time that I'd prefer they don't truncate things.

As for those worried about character development, don't. The story necessarily centers around Keima and Elsie, and the captured girls do lose their memories, but they don't exactly drop off the face of the Earth. The author has created a persistent, complex world, and everyone has their place in it. We are still very much in the "simple", introductory portion of the story, where the author himself was getting acclimated to his creation...

Geez, already five pages to catch up with. Will read them later when I have time.... maybe...
A rich twintailed blond tsundere appears! Or so I thought. Should I be worried that my thought pattern is exactly the same as Keima? The end of the episode took me by surprise, which is a good thing. The rest of the episode was very enternaining. Clumsy character like Elsy (is there an official romanization? In this thread alone I've seen her name written as LC, Elsie, Elcy, Elsee, etc...) are usually not my type, but her extraordinary cuteness makes up for it. I've warmed up to Keima as well, and I must say I share his views on little sisters (non-blood related little sister = crap). Looking forward to more of his enlightened insights. The ED is very nice. Did Shiroth make it?

As long as it's not "Erushi" as I've seen it spelled, I'll take any spelling.
And really, whatever's left on the cutting room floor is not of any concern anymore. I think Keima's person is all there; the BMW section was wonderfully over-the-top, and that was my biggest worry; it's even got a poetic-like recital, which I actually missed the first time around, and is way better off being animated. Heck, other than a few storyboard changes, it was almost panel-for-panel to the source. Elsie in motion is more adorable, and Keima's eccentric attitude is dialed to 11 (maybe 10, but still). And really, those detail changes are more than fine; I've said it before, it'd be boring to "re-read" something exactly the same. Elsie not knowing what a lawyer was pretty amusing. And surprising. I thought she came from Hell, shouldn't there be a lot of those? /semi-rant |

Ahh, I'm kinda late. Great episode, I seriously think Elsie's cuteness is even better in anime, she's really one hell of a girl. Agree with Keima, without BMW a little sister is not little sister enough, and thus step-sister/like a sister doesn't count (although I respond to it a bit differently). I liked the pacing so far, they already plan for season 2 right? So at least it won't be abandoned and end with anime-original ending, but slowly and surely continued like Hayate no Gotoku.
Btw, because I don't want to consider the possibility of oh-so-cute Elsie breaking up other people's marriage, I came up with a solution. There has been many comparisons of Keima with Austin Powers, but what if he looks exactly like his Dad? That is, he's the son of Austin Powers himself. I mean, really, those "international trips" are so obviously spying in foreign country and being Austin Powers with all his Mojo does explain why he's not too surprised for having an illegitimate child. It's been years but I remember vaguely that Austin did hook up with a Japanese twins. I'm only halfway through the manga though, so I won't know if this theory will be totally broken someday should they ever show who Keima's Dad really is (which 99.99...9% will not be Austin Powers)
