This episode was really good...
I think the battle between Urds was better than in the manga! and K1's reaction to both urds was just as hilarious!rofl!XD

...Season 2 is SOOOOO cruel to me!
Two weeks ago, I was counting down the days until episode 15 came out...and one week ago, I was counting down the days until episode 16 came out...and now that 16 is out, I'm forced to count down until episode 17!?!?!?
ARGH, the agony!!!
Hild! Hild! DAIMAKAICHOU HIIIIIIIILD!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
So the aftereffect of this arc goes on until next episode too...and here comes Hild!
As a major Urd/Hild fanatic, I don't care if the order is crazy anymore!!!
Urd! Hild! Demon Urd! Goddess Urd! I LOVE AH! MY GODDESS SEASON TWO!!!

And the TBS page updates a new pic...KID HILD!
Which means she's going to stay for more than one episode...woohoo!!!

It was cruel when there were only those Bell/K1-centred episodes. I was even thinking about not watching the series any more. But now I LOVE it.

This story was great, and I think they animated it perfectly. Well, they animated my beloved Urd perfectly and there were some nice Mara's shots. I don't care about the others.

Kid Hild you say? I should check it right now!

And I hope it means more Mara as well.

Well, even in the Bell/K1-centered episodes, you had some glimpse of Urd's caring side, which was nice too.
What I like about this season is that Urd is portrayed to be a much more "nicer", loving sister than a mischevious one...and judging from the OP I knew these episodes were going to come sooner or later, so I decided to sit back and relax...and here they are.

How the season is broken down, it is:
1~3 semi-intro to the storyline, which kinda HAVE to be Bell/K1-centered.
4~6 sub/guest character episodes: Sayoko (to an extent...and the Marller cameo was funny too), Yano/Otaki, Shiho/K1/Bell.
7~10 Peorth arc...sure they were Bell/K1-centered, but for Peorth story to even happen, this is needed.
Thus, the first part of the season was devoted to Bell/K1...and now that Peorth arc is over and the first big "clump" of story done, off to the sub-episodes.
11- Chihiro/K1
12- Troubadour/Urd
13/14- Sentaro/Skuld
15/16/17- Urd/Marller/you-know-who :D

Anyway, overall I like the show regardless...and HURRY AND COME, NEXT WEEK!!!

PS, Urd is mine. :P

[Kleo Scanti]

Well, as I've watched only eps. 1-10 and 15-16, for me the first part was Bell/K1-centered. :) Anyway now I love it better.

PS. No problem. I'm taking Mara and she'll make a clone for me. :p

If you like Urd, then I will give you one advice: WATCH EPISODE TWELVE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD(DESS)!!!!!

PS, sure, deal. I take the goddess side and you get the demon side. ;)

[Kleo Scanti]

I'll wait for subs. :) I watch only my favourite stories without them, like this one, for example, and I hate Troubadour.

PS. Deal. :)

Saw episode 16.
Battle of the Urds. Ah, it's been a while since AMG had violent and powerful confrontations. I don't remember if I have said this before during the first season, but the more I observe Marller, the more I'm convinced she makes a poor demon. I mean, she actually has some good in her. She's more childishly sly than actually maturely malevolent...and strangely I think that makes her sort of endearing in that sense. But then again, is it because AMG is a fairly benign show to begin with? And that maybe my concept of "demon" is much more malicious than in the world of AMG. Anyways, Urd's split personality was pretty funny. It would be interesting and amusing if she stays that way. I take it that the new female in the preview, Urd's mother, is Hild.

Actually in the world of AMG Heaven and Hell are not exactly Good and Evil, they're two huge rival corporations which fight for clients. Mara/Marller is just a hard-working employee who tries to be the best, but is not lucky enough for it. She wants to look like an evil being, but she has some principles which can be counted like "good" ones. And in manga she's much cleverer than in anime.

As for the new female, it is daimokaicho Hild-sama. :)

[nite0]

Rival institutions? Where in the manga did they imply that? Why would they have institutions in place to prevent killing one another if they were only rival corporations?

[Kleo Scanti]

Rivalry has a very wide meaning.

They didn't imply that exactly, but as we know, Urd and Mara were good friends before getting their jobs, Bell also knew Mara quite well. That means that their job (belonging to different systems) makes them enemies, not their nature.

[Ichy]

Demon Urd (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIM-0_XIQRk) was great. This Episode was great agein. But why comes Hild?

Shouldn`t be Welsper come first?
I hope the don`t destroy Welsper arc, and Hild Arc (my Favourite Arcs) :D

[Kleo Scanti]

There is no Welsper and no kid Peorth in this series. They changed the plot to introduce Hild in this season.

[Rowan]

Goddess as a whole seems to be a series of self-contained story arcs. I'd say they could pick and chose when/where events happen, and for the most part, it wouldn't matter. We may still see Velsper, just after we've seen other things that people really want to see.
