Keima katsuragi, the only harem MC who deserves his harem because he actually works for it, strives for it, and sacrifices his life for it

watched this series on a whim 8 years ago, and still have to say I have never regretted that decision. I wasn't very interested in harem anime to begin with, simply because I'm a straight girl. I really enjoyed watching the girls interact with each other and not be enemies on screen (like why is this so rare? You can be rivals and still be nice to each other, anyway I digress). But for me, the best part was Keima. He's so different from other harem protagonists that I've seen. He has some kind of charm about him despite him not being the nicest guy around. I don't know what I'm typing anymore but I just really like Keima

best harem with the best MC, those who only watched the anime use this song and read the manga and complete the experience

The Bohemian Rhapsody of Anime

I love how this song doesn't have the typical verse, chorus, bridge style structure. Instead, it's like a friggin classical piece with movements AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT!

Everybody's complaining on how this song's 8 minutes long. I'm like "8 Minutes of bliss"

It’s the end of the decade in 2019 and almost 2020 and I still love this series and song

Just finished watching this anime for the 2nd time after many years. Finished watching this back when i was in 7th grade and now i graduated out of high school and im in flight school. This has been by far one of my favorite romance anime ever and listening to the music just puts me in the feels i would 100% recommend this anime to anyone i would damn sure rewatch this anime again its 2022 and if u still listening to this music hell yeah your cultured

All three "Kami Nomi"'s intros are always awfully long, but every second of the song is a true masterpiece. It gives a huge "godlike" vibe, just like the title implies

The main character is hilarious. I almost fell out of my chair when he was called a cockroach and he literally turned into a cockroach only to get stepped on.

10 years later...people realise its in English xD

This song is the reason I like this anime so much. Normally you don't hear OSTs with lyrics be used nearly as much as this song was in the anime, but it works incredibly well. Not only does it perfectly capture the heart of the anime, but it also works as the perfect catalyst to bring scenes to their apex with little to no dialogue. I feel as thought I'm rewatching the greatest moments in this anime purely from memory while listening to this.

The whole song is wonderful and especially at 6:30 - 7:00 what an angelic voice! I first heard it when Katsuragi pulled the librarian-girl up from the pile of books and kissed her!

3:18-4:31 Eargasm, indeed

3:16 Best part x3

This song is probably the best song to represent a "God" type character. It has character, and that divine kinda feel y'know?

It's such a shame that such an amazing anime will never get the praise it truly deserves, one of the best openings to an anime I have ever heard, and one of the best I have ever watched.

I find it interesting to listen how Japanese singers tend to add pauses between non-voiced consonants, such as _temptation_ which becomes _temputation_ . They also stress words and barely pronounce some vowels, such as _possibilities_ which becomes _possbilities_ . That must be due to the fact English has a stress-based accent while Japanese has a pitch-based accent. It makes Japanese sound a lot more melodious I believe, but it makes English rap much easier to understand - or sing. In Canadian French we only drop the word-final E at the end of a phrase in a song. EDIT: now that I now more about Japanese, it's clear that a big reason why they "mispronounce" English like that is because of their writing system, which doesn't allow the same syllables as English. I find it truly fascinating how we all think about language in different ways :)

After finishing the manga i confirm this is one of the best Harem manga ever If not the best

Admit it. 3:18 is your favorite part.

It's 2024, and this opening/OST still goes really hard.

I REALLY want a season 4!!!

Man, this takes me back. I remember when the manga first came out....................Nostalgia Blast! I CAN SEE THE ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, 11 years...feels like just yesterday when I heard 2:30 every episode of the First Season...

It's been years, gonna give it a rewatch

My god...... that first minute was enchanting....

Damn...,those who haven't watch this is really missing something in their life. this is far better than any harem that I most know of

2:21 the tempo shift give me chills everytime

Now I can play my dating sims in peace.

Something legendary that most of the future generations will probably never enjoy. Rest in peace, God of Conquest.

I watched this anime in 2013, it touched me deeply. I watched it again during quarantine, he touched me even more deeply. Understanding that there would be no season 4, I went to read the manga, man this story strikes you right in the feels 😭

The way he rejected Chihiro made my heart so *HEAVY* Realizing that Chihiro legit loved Keima for him himself, and not because she was conquered or had some Godess inside her hit me like a truck 😔 And then when he was alone and cried at the end, “I didn’t mean to say all those things.” BRUHHHH 😭😭 Spoilers AYYYY BUT HE GOT WITH HER AT THE END THO LESSSSGOOOO KEIMAAAAAAA YESSSSSSSUHHHH

I like how they skipped over several conquests Keima made after season 2 when starting season 3. Said NO ONE FREAKING EVER!!!!!!

Here again to mark my attendance for 2022. Random anime I watched in Uni and now I can't ever forget this damn thing.

I seriously love all of the music this anime has. It's clearly been made by people with both skill and an immense love for all kinds of music. And this is one of those songs I can just close my eyes to and feel exhilarated listening to for the full duration.

I legit cried after finishing manga damn. So many unexpected stuff and the last “Thank you “ just killed me

This song gives me goosebumps for some reason. I loved this opening so much.

Its been 4 or 5 years since im into anime. I remember theres a stranger ask for recommend anime and a random person just give a tons of recommendation with each genres. School, action, romance, drama, what the fuck ever it is. Gotta thank that dude for the recommendation lol

This is seriously such an unexpected gem of a song featured in an anime you don't necessarily expect it of. It's genre bending, has great progression and themes, I can't stop loving it.

The instruments used in this are just amazing.The soundtrack is just awesome. One of best harem anime and voice cast.

There is no more fuckin awesome harem comedy than this.............

Starting at 3:18 That part just sounds so good!

been a decade and I still ain't found a better anime OP

If you play this song at 11:56:42 PM on new year's eve, The best part will play at exactly midnight; Start off your new year right 😅 👌

This is like the Bohemian Rhapzody for Otaku, literally.

God only knows, my mind is as free as the wind, but now what I should do is to fall in love ~ NEVER HAS JAPANGLISH SOUNDED SO BEAUTIFUL.

Watched the anime and read the manga, was obsessed with all the songs. Those were the days... Keima is my favourite harem MC (after Tenchi from Tenchi Muyo). The series wouldnt have been the same without him. I wish the series was more popular.

Anyone else in quarantine hearing this masterpiece? 2020 june

Time's flying...I can't believe it's already more than 10 years. I remember talking with my friends on Osu! We were enjoying the discussions Good old times seriously, i feel really sad... i would give a lot to go back to myself to that period in time..

who left this bowl of feels here

Even now, this is still one of my favorite animes. And when i watched and read the manga, it was during when i felt a bit down which is why I have a special attachment to it, so im very grateful for it.

Why this isnt on spotify??? I'm gonna cry

"Don't know why my heart is aching" haha I thought they were saying "Don't know why my hand isn't aching"

Who else is leasing to this in 2022or later 😍😍

2020 listening in quarantine times. Who else??

Glad people still love this show, my favorite romance anime❤️

When I watch this anime it wants me to play my psp

God the Chihiro/Ayumi arc in the 3rd season made me wince

Damn. I really come back every year to hear this perfect music.

I just finished the manga and I feel sick. I think I was actually affected by this manga. I want to cry.

Am I the only one who's obsessed with the beginning..? The scene it played in with Shiori was breathtaking ☺️

The manga for the series ended today. I applaud the series for taking me for such a great ride. It was magnificent

This is my favorite opening to a show I haven't seen.

Konosuba is getting some anime adaptation, news just came out a few hours ago after 4 years. Please surprise us like this with a Season 4,kami sama!

I honestly like all of this ( 0:00 - 8:08 ).

To think this show would be so good even tho I clicked on this on a whim. I probably won’t ever forget this since it was so good and when I finished the manga I had this weird feeling of finishing a good manga . Haven’t felt this for a while now

I watched this when I was a teenager. Can't believe it's been ten years since I've seen this masterpiece. At the time this was released, everyone talks about it but now, it feels forgotten..

I missed this omg!! this anime became part of my childhood. I hope it'll have season 4 🥺

Man this never gets old for me.

The first time I listened to this song, I was thirteen, and now I'm twenty, and it still is AMAZING !

2021 and im still here vibing to this masterpiece

It still gives me chills everytime I hear this song, everytime this song starts to play every first episode or last episode of each seasons I always get goosebumps

Can't believe it's been over a decade already....

This song gives me chills down my spine EVERY FUCKING TIME!

I hate to say it, but I forgot about this absolute masterpiece of a composition. One of the first anime I've seen, it remains one of the best. Seriously, this song is fucking legendary, along with the other songs in the series. Tears come to my eyes when I hear this.

Usually I don’t like harem anime but The World God Only Knows is something different, it has good protagonist, great character development and good romance with comedy, unlike other harems that I normally got bored after a few episodes, begging for the girl to just confess her love, for this show I never got bored.

came here after crying with "HAJIMETE KOI WO SHITA KIOKU" moment

I have this memory of years and years ago. I was at my dad's house, back in his old house and when he hadn't had any children with my step mom. It was summer. I had my own room but I liked watching movies in the living room at night, even with no one around. One time I woke up in the middle of the night from awful nightmares, and was really scared, so I went downstairs to the TV, and I don't remember why but I put this song. My brother had watched the anime but I just watched one. It lulled me to sleep on the couch, filled with hope about something. Years pass and I finally tackle the anime in 2020 since this song was one of my utmost favorites. Goddamn I didn't think the anime would uphold the sheer quality that this song has. I have read a lot of manga, but I am confident when I say Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai is my MOST favorite. I usually like romances, or shonen, harems can be fun but usually annoying. Kami Nomi though? Gosh the feelings. THE FEELINGS. It's so good. I am glad my brother showed me the opening on OSU (lol). I will forever cherish the memories this anime/manga has given me.

the "god only knows" never ceases to amaze me

I gotta rewatch and reread the whole thing now

It has been years since I wachted it. Today out of nowhere I wanted to hear it once again and I still love it.

So many years later... no other anime theme or opening has taken me, emotionally, to a place like this has. I really enjoyed the story, and this music is on a god like tier. Fitting for the anime.

the sad part about this series is that the MC made it what it is. i didn't personally feel interested in ANY of the other characters. they either seemed unimportant or even annoying. but keima? keima is the star. keima is God. i'd watch it if he was the only character that ever appears.

Ahh its already 11 years ago, But i never forgot it

Best anime ever, even after 7 months

Childhood song right here. The show was so good. The music even better. My favorite anime hand downs! ♥

Ah, yes I come here once in while just to commemorate the *anime* that made me love anime. Exactly 11 years ago today, I watched my first anime harem and since then I've seen over at least a 1000 animes on various genres. My only regret was there wasn't enough support to continue animating this til its end. 😭

Anyone still listening to this even if its 2021? ❤️

Watched this anime 9 years ago, Keima still sits as one of the best harem MCs I have ever seen

They dont make anime with themesongs that slap this hard anymore

So many parts where I got goosebumps. Definitely one of the best opening I have ever heard

I wonder who else has noticed, but Chiriro's hairstyle is practically the exact same as Keima's one, just with the bangs in the opposite direction.

Songs like this make me want to become a music producer

MY LORD KEIMA, ESCUCHANDO TU SONG EN ESTA CUARENTENA 2020
