| Running! |
Vintage’s agents have spread all over the city. The goddess are
captured, and Haqua is fighting Lune.
Who is a masochist. And crazy.
Fun.
Meanwhile, Ayumi waits for Keima. Dressed in a wedding
dress.
Yes!
Keima debates whether to tell Ayumi the whole truth but
ultimately decides to answer just one question of her. This question being, “Do
you love me”. He answers no. Ayumi eventually gets sick of the whole ‘only one question’
game and punches Keima in the face, demanding for answer.
Naturally, Keima refuses, saying he doesn’t want her help
and he is not doing this to get anyone to like him. He just wants to reach the
Ending without letting anyone else takes responsibility. This is his love.
Which is followed by telling Ayumi he loves her.
 |
| Yes! |
After some comedic moments and declarations of mistrust and
love, the two finally kiss. I may not be taking long to describe it, but these
were really good moments.
Anyway, as predicted the goddess inside Ayumi wakes and
Diana (who somehow has wings now) rushes in and takes her away. Other demons
from the Capturing Squad show up to fight Vintage. It’s one big brawl, but Keima’s
part is over.
The Goddesses are rescued and Lune chooses to retreat.
Morning arrives as Keima and Chihiro retreat. She asks him
why he chose to date her and if she had something inside of her two. Keima
replies she had nothing to do with this, which makes her sad to say the least. Later,
Chihiro prepares for her concert. Turns out fighting evil forces really messes
up your schedule because the other members for the band aren’t there yet.
Luckily they show up at the last second. Even Kanon shows up and asks to sing
with them.
As the music plays we get to see a few characters from previous
season and a few that were skipped.
Plus wings.
Meanwhile a girl a broken heart sings.
Thoughts

| Yep. This was sad. |
This was a good episode. It managed to do a lot of things without
feeling too rushed. There was a good balance between the action scenes and the
more emotional scenes. Likewise, the resolution of the Chihiro plot received a
suitable if heart-breaking resolution.
Also, Keima/Ayumi wedding!
My inner shipper is satisfied.
As for the season overall, this wasn’t as good as the first
two seasons. It tried to do a lot in relatively little time and suffered for
it. The content from episode to episode didn’t flow as smoothly as it could
have.
It also skipped a lot of manga content in order to get to
this arc. While I understand the decision to do so, perhaps it could have been
implemented better in an effort to make it more accessible to anime-only
viewers.
All that said, this was still a good run. The duo of Keima
and Haqua offered a different mode of operation when compared to Keima and
Elsee, which better suited the seriousness of the arc. Likewise, the anime did
a good job at setting up the tension for this arc. At least during the early
episode. The tension is lost a little during the middle.
The romantic scenes between Keima and the girls were fun to
see and Keima’s character took a step forward during this arc. Speaking of
Keima, like always, he remains a strong main character and manages to bring a
special feel to the series.
All in all, while the best it could have been, the third
season was good.
