Go To

1* ActingForTwo:
2** Creator/YukoGibu voices both Yukie Marui and Mobuko Ikano.
3** Creator/HarumiSakurai voices both Minami Ikoma and Gira.
4* CareerResurrection:
5** The entirety of the manga restarted Tamiki Wakaki's career, as elaborated in the [[Heartwarming/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows manga's Heartwarming Moments page.]]
6** The dub marked the return of Creator/ChrisPatton to the anime voice acting world.
7* CompletelyDifferentTitle: UsefulNotes/HongKong dub title: ''God of Gaming's {{Walkthrough}} in Pick-up''.
8* CrossDressingVoices: Dokuro, a woman, is voiced by Samuel Roman in the English dub.
9* InspirationForTheWork: Tamiki Wakaki has cited ''VisualNovel/YuNo'' as an influence on the manga.
10* NoExportForYou: The light novels. The first one had two exclusive capture targets in Tooru Amami and Asami Yoshino, while the second had Shino Akuragawa and Aoba Fuse.
11* PortmanteauSeriesNickname: ''Kaminomi''
12* PlayingAgainstType: For the ''Goddesses Arc'' english dub, Creator/JessicaCalvello, an actress who's usually known to play GenkiGirl roles, now lends her voice to [[{{Tsundere}} Haqua.]]
13* StarMakingRole: Creator/NaoTouyama makes her voice-acting debut here as [[IdolSinger Kanon]]. Though with her [[Manga/KiniroMosaic later]] [[Manga/{{Nisekoi}} succeeding]] [[VideoGame/KanColle roles]], the one here might also qualify as RetroactiveRecognition.
14* TeasingCreator: In the Volume 12 insert pages (Basically the volume when the ''Goddesses Arc'' was introduced with its last three [=FLAGs=]), one of the pages included [[spoiler:a picture of Chihiro in a wedding dress]], a note from Wakaki urging the fans to support the manga and their favorite Goddess hosts, [[spoiler:and a small note urging support for Chihiro as well]]. No one made a great of a deal on that [[spoiler:until she dropped the LoveConfession in [[WhamEpisode FLAG 165]],]] followed by the arc's {{Bittersweet Ending}} in [[TearJerker/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows FLAG 189.]] Then, the story took a massive shift with the second half of the ''Heart of Jupiter'' saga, where it appeared that [[spoiler:Tenri]], or to a lesser extent [[spoiler:Ayumi]], would eventually win the ShipToShipCombat. Cue the penultimate page of [[ShipSinking FLAG 267.]]
15* TheOtherDarrin: Upon the announcement of the ''Goddesses Arc'' english dub, some roles fell in this category, to wit:
16** With Creator/BrittneyKarbowski reprising her role as Kanon, Creator/CynthiaMartinez was then called in to voice Chihiro. Which apparently makes the latter the only character in this series so far to be darrin'd ''twice'' by [[Creator/SentaiFilmworks the same studio.]][[labelnote:explanation]]Creator/SerenaVarghese lent her voice to Chihiro's early appearances in Season 1. During Season 2, due to Varghese moving to Los Angeles where she still lives, Karbowski was called in to the said role (which is a coincidence since Kanon wasn't scheduled to reappear in the story until the ''Four Girls and an Idol [=OVA=]''), while Martinez voiced Jun Nagase for the same season.[[/labelnote]]
17** Haqua's role, meanwhile, got transferred from one [[Creator/JessicaBoone Jessica]] to [[Creator/JessicaCalvello another]], possibly due to the former's other commitments.
18* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There was a one-shot before the series proper began with a number of differences, including no contract, no memory wipe, a seven day time limit on the catch, a more mature design for Elsie, Keima acting and looking more like your average nerd and less like a ManipulativeBastard and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking his last name being Imai]].
19** Also, Keima's first capture was Mio, who had a more normal physique and no twintails, and was still living in luxury. The prototype also did not give captured girls EasyAmnesia, so she remained infatuated with Keima, much to his chagrin.
