He just wants to be left alone to play his games. Keima doesn’t want to change and he doesn’t care that he’s a miserable recluse. What I can’t stand is characters who are deliberately socially awkward, simply because they are uncaring, selfish, emotionally stunted loners-by-choice.
#THE WORLD GOD ONLY KNOWS SHIORI SERIES#
I will watch those kinds of series and will root for the characters and hope to see them come out of their shells and find happiness, often with the help of new friends, or simply come to terms with who they are. There is obviously a place for exploring socially awkward characters in anime. But if I actively hate the main character then I’m going to have a hard job enjoying a series. Too many anime have main characters who are characterless, but plenty of those end up being solidly watchable due to comedy or other factors. If he’s fun then the anime springs into life straight away. These kinds of anime live or die on the likeability of the main character. The biggest one is that Keima is an insufferable dweeb. Sounds fun, yes? Well it should be, but as I said I have problems with it. The problem is that he might be good at dating sims, but real life girls are another matter altogether. Keima can release them by making the girls fall in love with him. His abilities are hilariously (not) misunderstood by the demon world, which sends a spirit hunter girl called Elsie to team up with Keima, in order to release “loose souls” that are hiding inside the hearts of girls and feeding off their negative feelings. It centres around a high school boy named Keima who spends all his spare time playing dating sim games.
