HA! Even Hild knows it, after what, 20 years?
Great episode for me, and now, if only they keep making more.

They will... on September T_T.
Well, it's better than nothing :).

I didn't really understand the whole episode, since it didn't have subs, but just by looking at it, it was awesome :D.
And I didn't get what Hild was planning to do, increase Belldandy's happiness so she could return to heaven? Also was Keiichi being mind-controlled?
I really need to wait for the subs.
But what I really hated about the episode it's that...

Alright, after watching the subbed version, I'll tell you this:

Hild was trying to
Evil... but it was pushing Bell and K1 together... we'll have to see what happens in the next episode... in sepetember ;_;

No, not mind controlled, he was kinda getting drunk off of happiness but snapped out of it.

Commie subs has it out, and GG should have theirs out tonight or tomorrow some time (EST time, its 2:08 am).

I tried to download the Commie subs one yesterday, but that meant that I also had to download the whole "torrent" thing since I didn't actually have it. There were some errors in my computer and the video still didn't show, so I gave up and searched for the jap version. I'll just wait for the GG one, I hope that I don't have any trouble with this one.



(Drunk of happiness? o_o, I've never heard of that one. Anyways, he looked like he was about to rape Belldandy o_e)
Let's all wait 7 months with the hope that it's also worth it.

well, its nice but had nothing to do with the manga.

i would really like them make an ova of when bell first met keichi when they were kids. apparently she had to get his memories erased of that encounter.

also i hate how their markings looked too "digital" otherwise, it was not a bad show.

Well, Belldandy was as wonderful as always ^_^

It was nice remembering the atmosphere of this anime.. well, Keiichi is the same as always too >.> But i guess that's how it works for them, it can't be helped :)
The episode itself wasn't so special, but it was very nice watching it and enjoying the little things that this series gives us~
I wish they would finish this anime along with the manga :D But i'm still grateful for these two OVA's. Hope to have more in the future!

its the same one from the OVA's of the 90's. the movie, and the tv series, and NOW YOU'RE COMPLAINING? she's been doing the voice for about 20 years, and she helped make Belldandy who she is as a character. i LOVE Inoue Kikuko. from her portrayal of Belldandy to I-NO of Guilty Gear.

I guess he wanted to start watching the anime, because there's no way that he wouldn't notice until now that Kikuko is the voice.

Really? That's not how I remember her voice at all. According to me she used to have this sweet young voice, not this 'I'm a mom' deep voice.

so he jumps to this one instead of the OVA's? fail XD. the OVA's were (IMO) the best incarnation of AMG. though that doesn't mean i didn't like the other incarnations of it. this episode was quite enjoyable, interference from Hild made the episode that much more interesting.

It's been the same voice for nearly 20 years now(jeez, I can't believe the original OVAs came out that long ago). The english dub has had 3 actress' provide the voice for the role at different times(90's OVAs, movie & tv series). But the japanese version has had the same people providing the voices since the beginning.

As for the episode, I don't know if it's due to it being 3 years since the last OVAs, but it was weird to go back to the series. It might be due to the animation looking a bit different(especially the goddesses' markings on their faces). Story seemed like it was an average episode of the tv series with nothing really happening until the end.

I think they tried to tell that during the last time he tried to tell her that he loved her, that she never heard it. That would probably be due to the fact that she kept fainting everytime he said it. This would I guess be the first time she heard him say it in the anime.

Doesn't fit her? 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...).

This is kinda true but it would be nice if the relationship between Keiichi and Bellandy would mature a little more... after all he is suppose to be a college student and yet he flips out by any demonstration of affection

Never the less i enjoy watching this... looking forward for the next one

also i think is funny how they change keiichi's haircut xD (i dont read the manga so im not sure if that is the manga haircut or not)
huh?

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.

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!

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.
