Belldandy reminds me more and more of Alicia from Aria :P
So funny, the part where she just uses magic to change clothes in front of everyone XD

i tend to think that Akari is a better comparison between the two series, but that may be because Alicia didn't get enough screen time.

Keiichi and Belldandy are having a tough time, but the thing about this episode that I loved so much is the fact that we get to see a real show of Belldandy's power and we get to see her angel, Holy Bell. The way they restored the temple was really cool.

i think they got rid of the monk too fast. but well he wasn't that interesting anyways so i guess it wouldn't be a big impact on the story, other than the fact that by him leaving, belldandy and keiichi are now living alone together.

If they had explained the situation he'd have stayed to be close to Belldandy, which would upset the 2 of them living alone together set up for many jokes

So circumstances have left them all alone together in the temple. Funny how it always works out like that in these types of anime XD

I know it din turn out to be a problem
but it totally annoyed me how after chasing the 2000yen bill all the way there
he took the time to stand in front of it and gawk around making comments
instead of just picking it up.

This episode have a very sweet scene.

Imagine, you are poor as hell, you have no money to have a decent dinner, you now have the duty to provide your girl for escencial stuff. But she want a couple of te cups so you both can share a drink together, and with the last money you have, you bought them just so your girlfriend can smile. That's priceless.

Episode cute. The narrative, which in relation to the time of writing, it may seem obvious and too simple, but do note of the fact that the manga from which it is drawn, it is quite old, so we can not blame him!
Cute designs, very clean. The plot takes us to scopreire the new residence of Kei and Belldandy, Belldandy as a character is charismatic and knows how to be amusing, the same thing can not be said Kei! ^ ^ "
Animations not bad. Backdrops enough, maybe good for the time.

Wow, so much different from the OVA. Still good nontheless and it really doesn't feel too rushed. After all 48 episodes> 5 episodes. Enough time for everything.

Fate guides Kei and Bell to a temple where a Monk grants them shelter in exchange for helping to fix up the place. Holy Bell makes her first appearance and it's a great scene. The monk is so taken by the vision of Holy Bell that he leaves on a pilgrimage of enlightenment. Which works out great for Keiichi and Belldandy as now they have their own personal crib!

Good episode! 3 stars out of 5!

Loved her and Holy Bell's song of mending, the way they fixed the temple was a wonderful scene and a great callback to the older sequence from the OVA.

That monk did not exist either in the OVAs, there the place was abandoned. Seems like they took a shortcut, this version is once again much better. I should stop saying that though since it's obvious by now lol

I feel kinda bad for him. Sure he's now driven by a purpose, so to speak, but he left his home xD

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I really love belldandy! So, they'll be living alone together now, huh. Wonder if we'll see the monk again in the futur, he seemed like a nice guy, even if I can't bring myself to like him that much. Anyway, that was a great episode overall, much better than I excepted it to be tbh.

Man it's still hard to believe that the monk that gives Keiichi and Belldandy the temple as their new home is voiced by Mike Pollock the current voice of Dr Eggman in the Sonic games. Seriously I was shocked when I first heard his voice when I first saw the episode, it took a second to process that. Anyways looks Keiichi and Belldandy are going to be living alone, now that the monk's gone on his little pilgrimage so to speak. God I do appreciate Belldandy a lot more now, her singing is beautiful and she managed to repair the temple as if it were brand new. I really don't know why I didn't continue after this episode. Oh well, episode 4 will be something new at the very least. Great episode once again, great episode.
