Spoiler for ep.6, not much spoiler:

Wow, Chihiro and Ayumi cuteness get upgraded!! Chihiro will have another ep. next week too.

Again, the story atmosphere is darker than manga.

[Midonin]

Spoiler for Kaminomi II-VI - Keima the Matchmaker:

Using the raiment as an invisibility cloak to deliver advice behind Chihiro's back is actually pretty clever. That thing's got a million and one uses. I like Ayumi playing a part in the events - makes the universe feel a little more complete. Elsie's right, there's still some lingering changes, even a whole season later. Keima's delusions with the charts and everything was interesting to watch as well. And man, is that rain persistent.

[Kopi]

Spoiler for epi 6:

So more development between Keima and Chihiro. So Keima didn't realise that he's in the "negative impressions can become positive over time" category even though he mentioned it earlier... or does he?

Like how he explained how a conquest is being done with the 4 important events lol.

Agreed. I was touched by that action of Ayumi as well.

[Crackabad]

Spoiler for ep 6:

wow, thats a lot of rain.
I like ayumi so it was nice to see her again and playing a role
love the scenes where keima thinks of himself higher than everyone else.
my fav part was when they were under the umbrellas and chihiro is just staring at keima.
She wants to talk with him and he's just concentrated on the confession.
cant wait for next week. (even tho ive read the manga :P)

Spoiler for Ep 6: Keep Clam and Carry:

Yep, that's the writing on the poster in Chihiro's room. Having another poster with the word 'Gosip' is understandable, but when they already got the color and the symbol right, they have to be in on the joke, right?

Anyway, pretty good episode. Ayumi is really cute, blushing Ayumi has to be one of the wonders of TWGOK. So some parts of the memory still lingers (well, we did see Kusunoki taking care of the cat previously), I wonder how this means for the other characters. Another great scene of her is the 'birth of a resourceful general' part, both cute and funny, even awesome too. Keima's reaction faces are hilarious too, from the usual god mode to Godzilla and the old-school cartoon face he makes when he's happy (I think that's a reference of something, right?)

The anime additional scenes makes it quite obvious what Chihiro's problem is, but just in case I won't spoil it then. Just hoping that they'll continue the good job for future episodes.

[ID555]

Excellent - really nice seeing Ayumi again, and I liked the bits added to flesh out the manga and how subtle they were......

.....what am I saying? GIVE ME BACK CHAPTER 27!!! >:[

[ars89]

Like how Ayumi played a part in getting them to get over the fight. Clarified on what happens to the girls from Elsie. So even though they forget their memories they don't return to their original self because Keima filled the gap that they had in their heart, which in turn changes them.

Nice job by Elsie to use the raiment as an invisibility cloak to feed Chihiro lines. I like how she at least wondered where his voice was coming from. So at the end she looked a little depressed about confessing her love. Also she was lost in staring at Keima.

[SilverSyko]

An unorthodox capture, Keima's trying to have Chihiro fall in love with another boy rather than himself. Kind of wonder why he didn't realize he didn't need to be the target of affection sooner.

After going though all this with Keima though, Chihiro seems a lot more interested in him rather than Yuta.

The thing with Ayumi is that they may have been able to erase her memories, but they couldn't erase her feelings. It must be strange being in love with someone yet having no idea why.

Oh, and Keimazilla was awesome.

[khryoleoz]

That's it. Ayumi is no mere candidate. She is among them.

[mtarzaim]

So they extended the training part to fill an entire episode...

Well, the filler bits to flesh out Chihiro more were nicely done, so I can't complain.

She seemed stucked in ordinary depression, the one most of us get around that age, where everyone looks like talented people except ourselves. Behind her easy-going personality, she's hiding a lack of self-confidence.

I also liked how realistic Chihiro's behavior is.
Like how she tries to get closer to Keima with common stuff, or how she's looking after someone to relate to (nice double cameo of Miyako btw).
She's the kind of girl you could meet IRL, just shy enough to be cute, but strong enough to walk on her own two legs.

Her alchemy with keima is also nicely portrayed. She immedialty got casual to him (even hugging strongly before asking him for counsel). And while staying rebellous, she's still following his adv... orders.

Next episode should be 10/10 for me, with two twists in 20 minutes.
Then, we should get the report and maybe a special "M" half-episode.

[ThereminVox]

I admit, I laughed when the route charts came out. I honestly can't believe they don't have their own "war room" with those sorts of materials on all the potential conquests. I guess Keima's not quite ready to accept that he's in this for the long haul though.

[applejuice]

Eh. Here manglobe goes again. Horribad pacing, but it can't be helped since they are following exactly the way they did the first season.

Chihiro is too cute, compare to manga version.

[Texas84]

Elsie in the background is adorable. I had to rewind when Keima whipped out the pointer and she ran away so she wouldn't get hit. You really have to watch these twice to get the little extras.

[Riga92]

Both Ayumi and Chihiro were amazingly cute this episode. In fact, Chihiro is way cuter than her manga counterpart. Can't wait for this arc's finale next episode

[tsunade666]

Ayumi... she is super cute on this episode. Did they change design because it look different for me?

......... WoW I just saw a sparkly dude. I want to kick him and hit him hard. sparkle sparkle

Chihiro is extremely cute too and her blushing face is full of HNNNNNNGGG moments. I really wonder why.

nice head cushion kami, you lucky gamer

ignoring Elsies fire truck addiction

You know the real strong points for kaminomi for me is when Kami begun sharing his vast wisdom of game. It's really interesting when his explaining it on chihiro

Ayumi is really doing her best. Chihiro watching her just give her more push. Good back up story!

Wow.reading it in manga and watching it.... it's different. I'm liking the anime more and more.

The near of the end scene with kami and chihiro. Kami can be the all knowing god but he really doesn't understand the feelings of girls.( Like I can talk )

[judasmartel]

Spoiler for A Gaming Concept Which Works in Real Life:

FOUR IMPORTANT EVENTS IN MAKING A CONQUEST
by Keima Katsuragi

NOTE: These MUST be in the correct order.

1. FIRST ENCOUNTER
2. FIRST IMPRESSION
3. RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
4. CONFESSING LOVE

Disclaimer: If you mess up in one of these events, your WHOLE conquest will fail.

Keima realizes that in order to make a conquest, the girl doesn't need to be interested to him.
It could be any guy, really. As long as Keima fills the emptiness in her heart.

[ReddyRedWolf]

Anybody else thinking Cyrano with a twist?

Is that seiyuu HanaIro reference with Elsie saying shining/sparkling?

Elsie is really cute being her "Brother's" little helper.

Also loved Chichiro's wait what you are more experienced than me her questioning Keima who was it.

Keima himself is a good looker its just that jerk-ass facade that girls should look over. Else Ayumi and Chichiro wouldn't be attracted to him.

[EroKing]

10/10 for this
