You realize that on TVTropes.org, under the listing for "Yamato Nadeshiko" (the concept of the perfect Japanese woman) it lists Kikuko Inoue as the most likely to provide the voice? She is the prototype for the type of character Belldandy is! (That and the "Hot Shounen Mom" which she also is frequently typecast as, such as her roles in "Bakuman" and "Clannad".) In addition, it has this to say about her: Apparently, after she voice-acted Belldandy, Kosuke Fujishima (mangaka of Ah My Goddess) became so impressed that subsequent chapters use Kikuko's characterization of Belldandy as the character's base personality, including quirks such as liking sunfish and touching fake food. |

| I loved it! The art is great, as are the new character designs. (Which are firmly based in the current arcs of the manga, BTW. Just as the Movie and original seasons of the TV series had new designs from the OVAs because Fujishima-sensei's art style had changed, the new OVA has character designs that are very close to the most recent chapters of the manga, with the slightly different goddess markings, a slightly younger looking Belldandy, and a much softer/less angular design for Urd, making her look less severe and more feminine (and hot...). |

| huh? |
| I really hope that they keep on releasing OAD's from now on. But it would be even better if they release a 3rd season already :/. By the way, is this the official DVD cover of the 2nd OAD? :O http://pixiv.blogimg.jp/fdyuji/imgs/e/e/eea33f3c-s.jpg It's says "Volume 43" so I bet that it is... Well, it has a small caption in it, maybe telling some hints of what it is about, sadly, it's in japanese. Meh, I am really curious to know about the plot. |

Meh, I am really curious to know about the plot. a third season would be nice, they could bring the welsper arc in and do the mermaid and sentient key arc. those were some good times XD. maybe it is the second OAD, but i can't give a heads or tails on it. |

There are hints at the end of season 2 that more episodes were going to be aired (or maybe are going to...). Since in the 2nd ending (the one with the "Koibito Doushi" song) of that season, Keiichi's parents appear (they also appear in the ending of Fighting Wings), as well ad Sigel and Bampei. Maybe, if a 3rd season ever gets to be made, we would get the "Bampei in love" arc and the "Parents" arc. But I really want the gate/key arc to be animated, that one was hilarious. And the "Queen Sayoko" arc is a must-have. |

| this resolution didn't really make sense to me, wouldn't telling her that he loves her send her happiness through the roof? how does that help? I think I would have preferred it if they'd just left it as an ordinary date episode if they weren't going to think things through. liked it otherwise though. |
| I'm really happy to see another AMG episode and LOVE the insert song (amusement park) Dang! no new ending!! but still love it Friendship by Y.Ishida |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |

| This was the first manga I bought and the second series I watched. I love this show and I still have the OP on my ipod playlist. Just a lot of good feelings and a few tears as Keiichi mans up a bit and tells Belldandy how he feels. Even Hild seemed pretty mellow compared to some of her earlier appearances--guess she might have been affected by the Belldandy happiness emissions as well. Bring on season three please! |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Heathwarming OVA... Waiting the second :) |
| I wasn't too impressed with this OVA. I'll see what the 2nd one is like. |
 |
| Cute episode, quite liked it, let's see what's next though. |
 |
| you know what? this is getting repetitive and boring... really, really boring. Hild does some shitty, bound-to-fail stuff and it affects either Keiichi or Belldandy then Urd and Skuld does everything to help them and in the end Keiichi and Belldandy's love for each other triumphs. Seriously? think of something else dammit. |
 |
| *Violently screams DAISUKI NANDA* I dunno. Although the animation was solid, I feel more confused about Kei and Bell's relationship more than ever. Maybe it's not about loving and being happy with each other directly, but more about loving the good and bad times experienced each other. Sounds noble, but I just don't get it. Maybe the whole point of this episode was to justify the reasons why their relationship has been this way? Obviously, this show is aware of how elementary Kei and Bell's relationship is. Even Hild says they're supposed to do so-and-so during the play. It's just after all the crazy situations Kei has been through just to get a single kiss in with Bell, it feels like a sudden change of direction. |

| Happiness rays? Really? This doesn't seem to be from the manga but I could be wrong, I guess. |
| Hild really became more of an annoyance at this point, her "plans" are simply boring. Was more fun to watch before her introduction. |
| Nice OP and I really like that ED song. Anyway, nice episode, but I don't agree about true happiness yada yada I'm with Hild about being happy even if its through an illusion. Being happy all the time is the most important thing IMO. |
