Good but rushed

"The World Only God Knows II" isn't a lot different from the first season. The quality stays the same and they've managed to keep the different arcs original while not straying too far from the concept.

My biggest problem with this anime is the ending of each arc. It's rarely realistic. Sometimes it's even so bad it looks like the main character is forcefully kissing the 'targets'. But I realise this flaw is difficult to fix without making the arcs a lot longer and probably more boring. Other than that I have no complaints about the story.
Each character seems like a stereotype at first but as you get to know them better you find out that they each have their share of problems in life and are deeper than expected.
"The world only god knows" tries to break the stereotypes of dating sims.

The conversations are often funny and sometimes sad or touching. There were occasions were the main character was too much of a know it all but this was also because of the rushed stories.

While watching this I wasn't amazed by the animations but nothing was particularly bad about it. It's probably just above modern anime quality.

I feared the last episode of this season was going to be a filler again... and it was but it had more meaning than the end of the first season. I actually started to appreciate the episode near the end.
I enjoyed watching this show. It may not be THAT memorable but it always managed to put me in a good mood.
