Better than Season 1

Season 2 of World Only God Knows is pretty much the same as the first season as far as the concept and story goes though i have to say it was a bit better. The different arcs are more realistic and the characters are less stereotypical compared to that of the previous season though it still feels like the arcs are pretty much rush and wasn't given enough momentum for it to be memorable which is a shame since most them were interesting and deserves a few more episode. I also like the part where Elsie was given the spotlight together with the new shinigami Haqua while Katsuragi was more of a support character in that way it gives us a bit more of her character and personality. Though i'm a bit disappointed with the main character which still retains his "addiction" to virtual dating games. I was expecting that after his encounters in the previous season he will at least show some interest into connecting to the "real world" instead it seems he became more attached to the virtual world and has become more obnoxious, stereotypical and unrealistic (i can't imagine someone who plays dating games 24/7 still manages to get a perfect score on school exams and have good grades) and if his personality doesn't change in the 3rd season (if ever there will be one) he will come out just a boring character. The animation is still great and the finale is a definite improvement. We even get to see some potential new character if ever the series produced another 3rd season.
