Well, I'm sure we were all surprised by the speed at which this got an adaptation...not long after it was announced, it arrives.



Title: 神のみぞ知るセカイ, Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai, The World God Only Knows
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Animation Production: Manglobe
Airs: 10/06 25:50

Summary from MangaUpdates:
Katsuragi Keima is known on the net as the god of getting the girls while in real life he’s known as otamegane and he hates all real girls. However he is approached by Elsee, a devil from hell, to help her in catching runaway spirits that hide in people. Apparently the spirits only hide in the hearts of girls and the only way to get the souls out is by making the girl fall in love so the spirit gets forced out. And he’s not allowed to fail or he will lose his head.
Kenn's Comment: Would've preferred another production studio as opposed to Manglobe after Blacksmith...and in this case, I suppose nothing can better than something at times. Though I must say, they're work on Saraiya Goyou was amazing. I'll give that to them. Blacksmith on the other hand, is what I hope TWGOW doesn't end up like.

Anywho, I think most of us people thought we'd get the adaptation sometime next year when the mangaka announced the anime in one of his chapters. Didn't quite think it'd come so soon. Anywho, Not sure how Manglobe will handle this series, seeing as a good chunk of the chapters are somewhat episodic. They also have material from the light novel series to work with if they need it. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for an adaptation that would be better off forgotten...and that they don't kill it with an anime original ending and snuff all chances of a continuation.
