AMG Season 2 General Episode Discussion (Episodes 17 - 22 [End])

[Catgirls]

Hey everyone. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/Mousefinger/Misc/catgirl.gif

We've noticed lately that this forum has slowed down a bit in viewership, and some of the Episode threads are rather quiet. While many of us still watch and love this series, the discussion has waned enough that we feel a weekly thread dedicated to each episode is unnecessary. This thread will serve as a discussion point for Episodes 17 to the End of the series (24 or 26?).

All the other episodes, 1 - 16, already have their own threads and discussion for those episodes can continue on in their respective thread.

Thread Guidelines
No telling or asking for RAWs.
Try to keep manga spoilers out of the anime thread. If you need to in reply to someone with a reference to the manga, either PM them or use Spoiler tags (see example below).
Discuss your expectations of the episode if not aired.
Be polite to your fellow forum members.
Try to keep the discussion on topic and future episode spoilers out of the thread whenever possible.
Also remember that all the other series of AMG are licensed (first TV series, OVA, Movie, Mini-Goddess, and the manga) so no discussion about earlier fansubs or groups. Please use the Report button http://forums.animesuki.com/images/buttons/report.gif if you see any unmarked spoilers or other problems.

How to use Spoiler Tags

Spoiler tags are easy.

Are sister and brother.... What, you already knew!!!

Saw episode 17...
Hild, why the heck does her voice sound so familiar...Sara Takashima, the name sounds familiar too.
Anyway, too bad this was the end of Urd's Goddess/Demon swapping dual-personality...I kinda liked them both.
But with this arc over, if they ever do the Peorth/Velspar arc, I wonder how they are going to fix it?

And next episode...already the pot episode (+ anime original seducing Belldandy)?
Man they really are jumping all over...tho if that means more Urd/Hild, good for me.

[Kleo Scanti]

I'd say episode 17 was nice, though I'd like to see the original version animated. But Hild - Hild was great! The real Daimokaicho, incredibly scary and incredibly sweet at the same time. Also the art was pretty good. I have a small comparison with manga in my LJ, if someone is interested, the link is in my signature.

[Keiichi_chan]

I kept thinking that the voice sounded familiar too...hmm...

[Muir Woods]

Saw episode 17.
Hild, now there's someone worthy of the title "demon". Despite her dainty demeanor, it does not hide nor diminish her seasoned and strong malevolence that Marller is so lacking. Marller was basically cowering the whole episode. Heh heh, hiding behind K1. Cute. While I figured it was inevitable that they would return Urd to normal, but I was hoping Urd would stay divided for a few episodes to take advantage of its comedic opportunities. Oh well. Anyways, here's a GIF of a reflective Urd with her hair blowing in the wind:

[aikming]

maybe it'll be better to have a thread dedicated to the the anime rather than each episode.

[greatfire]

Regarding Episode 17 mysterious voice actress:
Hild is voiced by Takashima Gara (not Sara), who already voiced her in one game (remember, we are talking about japanese voice acting: an original voice must be kept if it is possible).
Her most recent "popular" role is Kisaki Eri, Mouri Ran's mother in Detective Conan among a few others.

[Keiichi_chan]

ahhh.. thanx for the info greatfire!

[aikming]

Wow... fanservice in episode 18... from episode 17 preview

Ah, THATS why it sounded so familiar!
I recently watched an episode of Conan that had her in it...ah, no wonder...mystery solved, case closed! ;)

PS she has one of the WTF kanji for her name, especially for a female.

[Vicequaizer]

Episode 18...
Kid Hild debut!
Marller...I'm really, really starting to feel sorry for you *tears*...good luck as the convinience store manager.
But the more and more I'm watching this, considering the way this series is going, I'm assuming that the final big arc is the Angel Eater arc.
I mean, Lind is there, Peorth appeared, and Hild is there...with the way the show is going toward the Heaven/Hell relation episodes, it just makes sense that way and will explain why Hild appeared so early.

Next episode: Ninja Masters! :D

[Keiichi_chan]

I've been saying i think the final arc is gonna be the Angel Eater one for along time. But people seem to be leaning toward the Queen Sayoko arc, which I doubt will be the season closer.

[aikming]

So you are speculating cool mint and spear mint arc since they are essential to the angel eater arc.

So far cool mint and spear mint didnt appear in the ED theme. But i would like to have that arc. Also keiichi parents arc will definitely be there.

[Muir Woods]

Saw episode 18.
This episode was pretty funny. Urd breaks the reality to Marller that has been agonizingly obvious: she has no talent as a demon. Ouch. Which leads me to ask, how the heck did a person like Marller get to be a first class demon? A demon that works at a convenience store and cries nonetheless? But that's okay Marller, you're still the most endearing demon I know. And I wonder what was the thing that Megumi thinks is the cutest? It was never explicitly shown what it is. Hmm...

[kagato3]

I have been hopeing they would run the welsper Arc this season as it is to me one of the most intersting arcs explaining how heaven and hell basicly are able to co exist with out open warfare between the 2, but I don't see it happening since hild's intro in the manga was because of what happen in that arc.

[Souten no Seigyoku]

The reason for the slowdown in discussion and viewership, is the subs are 4eps behind. So its impossible for english speakers to discuss current episodes. :( I came to see the spoilers for episodes I havent seen yet.

Seems like the series has gotten really interesting since I stopped watching. Bell tells K1 she loves him, Skuld gets her angel (is that right?), Evil Miss Urd, and there's a kiss coming up (so i hear). I assume its the long awaited Bell x K1 kiss?
Interesting indeed. Especially if Im right about the Bell x K1 kiss.

You know, I have this very strong suspicion that I'm the only guy who's watching the anime this diligently that haven't read the manga. All these manga spoilers and expectations are just making me go :confused: . It's a strange feeling of being left out, but not that I'm denouncing it or saying to stop it. Continue manga discussions as you guys wish. Oh well, the only thing I can do is just give my thoughts as a manga virgin on the episodes. And I just saw episode 19.
When mini-ninjamasters strike K1&Belldandy&Co. Another Marller's scheme to trouble K1&Goddess company, but of course as expected it fails in the end as the three miceketeers are converted one by one to the good side. K1 says "it feels just like in a manga" when he and Belldandy accidentally touch each other's hand. Heh heh, your words are truer than you think K1. So, are Kodama, Hikari, and Senrigan going to be a permanent part of the cast now? Although I think their usefulness and appearence will only be occasional at best. And it's going to be harder for Belldandy to protect K1 now that her goddess license is suspended for breaking the limiter thingy. Well at least there's still Urd and Skuld.

Dont worry too much, AMG anime deviate a lot from manga, though the core story is the same. For example episode 19 was taken from volume 8 and episode 20 should be from volume 18. Instead of forgetting to renew her license in volume 18, the anime depicts that Belldandy broke the seal and was suspend and then they continue with the story in volume 18.

If you cross-reference the anime & manga, it's quite messy. But they have done a decent job linking the anime episode their own way, rather than sticking to the story line as setup in the manga.

Don't worry you aren't the only one like that. The people that are anime watchers only just comment less because the subs are so slow sometimes. Most people commenting on the raws are english-only speakers who only know what's going on because they've read the manga.

[Keiichi_chan]

Episode 20 was really cute and sweet..it had the feeling I felt lacking from the season openers that I felt they were going for.
Next ep, is an anime original..this could be a big hit or a total miss..no idea how it's gonna work out. The final four episodes could be an anime-original closing arc for the series (if they decide not to OKAY a third season).

Unfortunately, the TV broadcast (TBS, BS-i) for Aa Megamisama Sorezore no Tsubasa will end at episode 22, as confirmed by Inoue Kikuko (Belldandy) herself at the TBS Festa, where TBS will air the previously unaired episodes 25 and 26 from the first season DVD on September 21 and 28 to fill the timeslot.

This is strange considering that xxxHOLiC, airing back to back on TBS, will fully complete its 24 episode run.

Since the AMG second season DVD release has been announced as 8 volumes (with 3 episodes each), I suppose they will make DVD proprietary episodes just like the first season, albeit as a sidestory.

My prediction is that Sorezore no Tsubasa will end up with a Keiichi x Bell closure, although any further announcements of the Megami-sama franchise is welcome.

That sucks. :/

Would it be likely at all that a 3rd season would arise? I'm hoping so, since it's a shame that the manga has so much left to cover.

I don't know much about the production companies in Japan but it would seem like it would depend on the ratings wouldn't it? I know that when they made the first series and ended it after 6 episodes a lot of people kind of second guessed it, and thought that there should be a longer animie series. Then this one eventually happened. I really think because of the popularity of the series that if they don't do a third season, they will regret it in 2 or 3 years, come back and do it then. EIther that, or they will start over again.

Basically, late night anime is aired on a production committee (seisaku iinkai) basis, wherein the affiliated parties (DVD/CD distributors, animation studio/publishing company, etc.) fund the production costs, purchase the TV station slot-time (which would be late night as it would be a non-expensive local broadcast), and find sponsors (usually themselves).　In this case, the broadcasting station is usually not included in the production.

TBS is actively involved in contributing to production of late night anime, the AMG series included, but ratings are not a determining factor for the termination of a late night show, or the basis of a sequel for the following reasons:
1. average station ratings are tabulated between the time frames of 6 AM-12AM
2. late night anime are catered to their delineative targeted audience
3. time-shifting, in timer-recorded VCRs or DVD recorders, is not counted

Here are the referential ratings for both AMG seasons (second row is the first series, bottom row is the second series as of ep 17) by episode count:

1　　2　　3　　4　　5　　6　　7　 8　　9　 10　11　12　 13　14　 15　16　17　18　 19　20　21　 22　23　 24
3.1/1.6/2.5/2.9/2.4/2.1/2.1/2.3/3.2/2.3/2.1/1.7/2.0/2.6/2.4/2.2/1.9/1.5/2.5/2.4/2.1/1.8/1.2/3.2
1.4/2.5/1.4/2.0/3.4/1.6/2.4/1.5/2.3/2.0/0.8/1.9/1.7/1.2/1.9/1.7/1.7/


For a show airing at 2AM, these aren't shabby numbers, especially with the World Cup being held during the second series.
However, in comparison to the first series, the numbers for Sorezore no Tsubasa are generally lower, a sign that fan interest is waning.

Sequels of late night anime are usually based on DVD sales of the first series, provided they have sufficient material to cover the story.

DVD sales for the first series of AMG was 82,460 copies (see bottom table for breakdown) spanning 9 volumes, for an average of 9,162 DVDs per volume, which is just above the sequel contingency line.

The initial sales for the first two volumes of the second series was 6,178 and 5,556 copies respectively, which despite its still early tabulation, is a considerable drop.

If these figures are an precursor of future sales, TBS and Bandai Visual may have second thoughts about producing a third season, no matter how much material they still have.

DVD sales for Aa Megami-sama first series
Vol. 1 10,037　
Vol. 2 10,511　
Vol. 3 *9,898　
Vol. 4 *9,501　
Vol. 5 *8,986　
Vol. 6 *8,628　
Vol. 7 *9,024　
Vol. 8 *8,668　
Vol. 9 *7,207

[sunny_ta]

I see. That was a quite detailed explanation and really shed some light over the matter. Hm. The way it looks it may be true that a 3rd season would be rather unlikely...

I shall still hope for the best. Interest don't look to be fading terribly fast..

That sound about right too me. In the end, it's about money. What I wish they would do is take this series and put on the back burner for a year or two because i'm telling you, by then people will need an ah my goddess fix. Ratings and dvd sales would go back up to season 1 numbers.

[Keiichi_chan]

Thnx again for the info, eggplant.
AMG is actually MORE popular in the states than in Japan, soo..if this aired on tv here, I bet we'd have 5+ seasons,but sadly it's abit more of a cult favorite in Japan..

[Hyperion]

for EP 17.

I really enjoyed the singing bit. I wish there was a really long version of it, could listen to it all day.

[ShadowrazoR]

for EP 17.

I really enjoyed the singing bit. I wish there was a really long version of it, could listen to it all day.

Yeah me too. Here's hoping the that song goes into the OST.:D

[tripperdan99]

Thanks EggPlant for the insight of how the gears work. That was valuable and appreciated. I'd gotten addicted to AMG half way through season one. Guess if they end at season two I will do like I had to do with Ai Yori Aoshi and get all the mangas.

td99

[Ichy]

Episode 17 was great! 10/10 :D I'd neverI would have thought Hilds comming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5DF3mYchm0) would be so good in the Anime Version. They changed the plot quwit well :)

*hugsHild*

[aikming]

I'm a bit doubtful on what eggplant said on the number of TBS episodes but we'll see in a month's time.

I was a bit sad when I couldnt find the demon & goddess song in the AMG sorezore no tsubasa OST that I have. There's one more CD which has not been revealed. I'm not sure if they could make another OST album and they had 2 drama CDs already, It shouldnt be a single. Nevertheless, I do hope that the song in episode 17 will be in that "unrevealed" album.

Episode 22 will be an original!!!

[eggplant]

I'm a bit doubtful on what eggplant said on the number of TBS episodes but we'll see in a month's time.


What is the basis for your skepticism?
If you need concrete evidence, I have personally scanned from the October issue of Newtype Magazine what TBS will be airing on September 21 and 28 for AMG Sorezore no Tsubasa.

My basis for skepticism was no proof until now. What you had said is justified. Thanks.


Now I wonder why keiichi parent are pictured in the opening and ending??????

[aliensporebomb]

I'm a bit behind but must admit Hild is the hottest thing on two legs.


Her interest in K1 had me amused and her request of Belldandy
"can I have him?" and Belldandy's curt but polite "No." had me
laughing.

Face it - she'd eat K1 like an afternoon snack! You can tell she's
sweet at times but a nasty bit of work in others.



I realize the series is ending sooner than it could but I suspect the
fan interest was waning since it does tend to deviate a bit from the
K1/Bel' relationship a little too much. People like to see forward
progress.

[Darklightz]

That's the end?It didn't feel like one at all.I hope there's a 3rd season so we can see the Whelsper saga.I'd also like to see more races with the auto club,it would be awesome to have the Keichii VS Sora race animated!

But anyway I did like the singing part of this episode.

[Keiichi_chan]

The final episode was abit..odd..Here's to hoping the two OVA episodes are REALLY good.

[BakuDan]

Weird, it looks like the ovas' are from the first season since I have all the 1st season DVDs.

[Kleo Scanti]

They are going to show S1 OVAs on TV instead of making eps 23 and 24 for this season. And then there will be two new episodes which will be available only on DVD.

And the episode 22 was horrible, I'd say.

[happyfoosball]

Poor Marller

[Souten no Seigyoku]

However, in comparison to the first series, the numbers for Sorezore no Tsubasa are generally lower, a sign that fan interest is waning
Why in the world did they do 2-3 filler-like episodes if it was 22 episodes? They shouldve gotten to the nitty gritty of it all. Thats part of the reason why interest drops. The xmas episode didnt have to be done (although it wasnt filler). The motor club founder episode couldve been skipped as well. '

The nitty gritty episodes are the starting episode, Sayoko, Peroth, Skulds story, Devil Urd, Hild, and whatever is next having to do with K1+Bell lovey dovey stuff. Skipping the boring fluff and airing the exciting stuff is the ticket to keeping the series alive, but no....

This isnt just a japan problem either. US producers are also silly. There's a sci-fi show called SG1 that's going to be cancelled. The producers hope to keep it alive. So they do a recap episode and and throw a couple of boring episodes that have squat to do with the main storyline in the mix. Why not just walk into the woods with a rifle and give yourself both barrells? Its easier you know!

Excitment is the key.
AMG is a boy meets girl story so excitment would be tons of K1+Bell lovey dovey stuff, and any Skuld lovey dovey stuff like when she turns into a teen.

[aliensporebomb]

Like I've heard there's going to be another X-files movie and instead of
focusing on the mythology (what people want closure with!) they're going
to make it a horror episode. I swear, what gets greenlit boggles my mind.

What should happen:

Keep in mind I'm not a reader of the manga.

(1) We need to see a K1+Bell kiss for real. I swear, K1 has had more kisses
with Urd (3 in the first season alone I think) and he still acts like a scared
teenager. He's a college student. Get a grip man! Either that or have
Bell get some Urd like personality for a day or SOMETHING.

(2) We need to see Urd either make up with Troubadour or move-on and
maybe find someone on earth she's amused with, someone to challenge
her. It would be funny if it was someone who didn't believe she was a
goddess. Lots of possibilities there.

(3) Skuld needs to stop acting like she's 7 - the whole "I want my big
sister all to myself" went from amusing to annoying - she's now a little
easier to deal with (although I did like her confession to K1 a few eps
back due to the seed of love deal....)

OR:

The PREVIEW for this series implicated that Bel was going to go back to
heaven for real and she had limited time. That never seemed to happen.

It would have been interesting to see what K1 would have done if this
played out - if you were in K1's shoes wouldn't you go all out to try and
get her to stay.

I like the show but it frustrates me too. I get the feeling the Manga-ka
is stuck (but then I hear there's 140 volumes of this stuff, Keiichi Morisato
and his unbelievable hot platonic girlfriends).

Ack.

[sunny_ta]

The thing is, I thought the show was moreso about problems that encounter K1/Belldandy's relationship, but every episode after the Peorth arc feels pretty out of place (apart from specific Skuld eps, ala with Sentaro and Noble Scarlet.)

[Urd]

was i the only one that didn't get a thing of what was happening on eps. 22?
what happened there? alternate universe? back to the past?

anyway... seeing Urd vs. Hild (of course Urd got her ass *** ) was priceless...

any comments about what the hell happened there would be appreciated!
ja ;)

[Zeneva]

EP17:
I must admit the way the anime showed hild's character was really hilarious. The way she acted all dramatic jus made me lmao :D
Like the part where she said "You the daughter of me, Daimakaicho, can't even help in singing the goddess part.. Ah, Kami!" rofl
Not forgeting the singing part in the show, great voices they have XD I think this have got to be 1 of my favourite episodes...

[VC Matsumoto]

Ep18:

I agree that Ep. 17 rocked...Ep18 felt a little slow.....
Those devil rats & the (american?) tourists were the only "funny" thing happenning and
the chibi-hild looked seemed too "Skuld-like" esp. after seeing how sexy/brazen
1000% Hild looked and acted like.

Hild changed Keiichi history and thus making them lovers. Belldandy had to wrap herself back to 5 years ago to regain Keiichi's interest in her. The story was kinda "crap" and hard to follow as well as swallow.

Didnt know that season 2 would end this way.... so disappointed. Well, at least the last smile that Belldandy gave was worth watching.

(3) Skuld needs to stop acting like she's 7 - the whole "I want my big
sister all to myself" went from amusing to annoying - she's now a little
easier to deal with (although I did like her confession to K1 a few eps
back due to the seed of love deal....)

OR:

The PREVIEW for this series implicated that Bel was going to go back to
heaven for real and she had limited time. That never seemed to happen.

It would have been interesting to see what K1 would have done if this
played out - if you were in K1's shoes wouldn't you go all out to try and
get her to stay.

I like the show but it frustrates me too. I get the feeling the Manga-ka
is stuck (but then I hear there's 140 volumes of this stuff, Keiichi Morisato
and his unbelievable hot platonic girlfriends).

Ack.
1- Yes a Bell+K1 kiss is a MUST. They must show the relationship move forward and Bell+K1 acting more like a real gf & bf.
2-agreed
3-agree. Plus her relationship with keitaro (?) should move forward propelling her into teenagehood. Which should change her childlike personality and bring forth a lot of teenage angst like in the manga (so Ive heard).

The subs arent out and as a result Im 4eps behind. So I havent seen the ending. It hurts me to think that what you say is true. Talk about ruining something. Especially something that probably wont have a Season 3 to fix it.

[aliensporebomb]

Ep18:

I agree that Ep. 17 rocked...Ep18 felt a little slow.....
Those devil rats & the (american?) tourists were the only "funny" thing happenning and
the chibi-hild looked seemed too "Skuld-like" esp. after seeing how sexy/brazen
1000% Hild looked and acted like.

VC

Re: Episode 18:


Am I the only one who noticed the american tourists were the rock band
"The Who"? "Pete" (guitarist Pete Townshend) (and the fansub called the
singer "Rodney" when it should have been "Roger"). I figured Marller would
have been dancing all over the place since she can't resist dancing to rock -
it was a missed opportunity - the smashing of the instruments clinched it -
it was The Who without a doubt. British rock band of the 1960s.

Some other funny things "the relationship hasn't progressed past elementary
school" repeatedly, the rat-girl-in-bed-but-the-tail-gives-her-away segment.



Oh yeah:



Hild is still the hottest thing on two legs.

Prediction: She's tried using Marller to get the goddesses to leave.

She's tried tampering with Urd and Skuld as well as Belldandy.

Next up: K1. He'll find her hard to resist, I'm pretty sure.

[DaveHOz]

(2) We need to see Urd either make up with Troubadour or move-on and
maybe find someone on earth she's amused with, someone to challenge
her. It would be funny if it was someone who didn't believe she was a
goddess. Lots of possibilities there.


I want her to get together with "the boy from cram school" (I always forget his name), but that will be about a 10 year wait. -- But then, what's 10 years to a goddess?

In 10 years Skuld should have matured as well -- Hopefully both her powers and her relationship with Sentaro will develop, and Noble Scarlet will return.

Hmmm -- 10 years.... Think Bell and K1 will have kissed by then?? :)

[VC Matsumoto]

"Hmmm -- 10 years.... Think Bell and K1 will have kissed by then?? "

Priceless dripping sarcasim.......well deserved though for this anime.
Kenchi missed a grand oppertunity to shag BelliD in that "infinite space."
When Kenchi was freaking out when him and Bell were playing "name
that dish,"...was he freaking out because he was so hungry for food...or
was his looks at Bell's chest seeking some other nutrition?

VC

p.s. I'm glad alienporebomb and I have the same taste for Devil Boss's! :)

[aliensporebomb]

Yeah, I'm sorry but she just exudes "hottest". No offense to Urd or Bel'
or Skuld or Peorth or any of the other ones. Geez.

Waiting to check out the ending, I don't even care of it's allegedly lame,
it's good brain candy.

[Souten no Seigyoku]

Yea the K1+Bell "relationship not beyond elementry school level" thing is more true than funny. Two more episodes to go so I doubt there will be a k1+bell kiss. Very lame. Especially if there wont be any more AMG.

Heck I bet they havent even kissed in the manga yet. Or if they did, its a peck in the cheek. The reason for my obsession over the darn "kiss" is that its a progression marker. A date is the 1st marker. More than 3 dates is another marker. Kiss is the 3rd marker. Umm.... and "this and that" is the ultimate marker. Yet they are a "live-in" couple which is bigger than Markers #2, and even 3 becuase it should come later. Bell aslo confessed which is bigger than Markers 1 and 2. What the hell?!

[LoweGear]

Heck I bet they havent even kissed in the manga yet. Or if they did, its a peck in the cheek.

They did kiss in the manga (lip to lip no less), and pretty early in as well, somewhere around chapter 5 or 6 I think.

[VC Matsumoto]

To: LoweGear,

What! I feel cheated! Even Urd has done more intimate stuff with Kenchi!
And didn't Skuld give an "accidental" M-t-M kiss to than bicycle kid? (Courtesy of my avatar...Noble Scarlet!)
Wow, I don't know who's more shy, Bell or Kenchi, although to Kenchi's defense,
from his POV, we see he's pretty interested in Bell's physique.

VC

[LoweGear]

Don't think Skuld's ever given Sentaro a MtM kiss yet, just accidental pecks on the cheek.



In the Gate Arc, after Peorth, Urd and Skuld have recovered from being frenched by The Gate (which is a she), Skuld mentions that she hasn't kissed Sentaro like that before.

ANd I should've clarified... I think Bell and Kei kissed for quite a few moments, not just a simple kiss.

Urd... what can I say, she's Urd XD

[aliensporebomb]

I like to think when K1 and Bel' were in the "infinite space" they might
have taken a few moments to connect physically.

Let's just say if Urd had appeared instead of Bel' when the series first
started I think K1 would have been a father several times over by the
end of season two, heh.

If you're talking manga, Keiichi by far. Bell is very open emotionally about how she feels about him, and all the intentional physical intimacy was initiated by her.

First kiss, btw, was in chapter 11, but was an accident. Incidentally, the lead up to that kiss was animated and included in the opening for the OAVs. First intentional mouth to mouth, was in chapter 18.

[VC Matsumoto]

kissu kissu kissu.......
I need to get the manga so I won't be
so hard on Kenchi & Bell from the Anime
TV series....now if I could only learn the Kanji ;)

VC

[aliensporebomb]

Let's just say that I finished watching episode 26 OVA of S1
last night and found that:


When Skuld was temporarily transformed into a hot twenty-something
she even got more intimate with K1 than Bel' does! To the point where
Urd was concerned that she might take K1 away from Bel'. Of course,
Bel' was not concerned at all but being that she was transformed to the
size of a small cell phone for most of the two OVAs this allowed for K1
to be pretty much available to Skuld for most of the episode. At least
we know what kind of guy she favors. Interesting. She sees the same
qualities that Bel' does.


It's almost like this show constantly sees K1 in the arms of everyone
BUT Belldandy. Maybe that's the idea.

[Souten no Seigyoku]

Hmm.. Well key moments (or markers as I call them) are the key to the success or failure of the series. They didnt do enough. I will have to read the manga cus the series is obviously dead due to incompetence. Ive only read a few chapters of the manga, but ill have to catch up.

Filler/unecessary eps in a short series. bleh.

[happyfoosball]

so it's been cancelled?

That's interesting... I really should start watching this series (I only watched the AnimEigo one-- it was too short to be seriously considered a series)

Skuld and Keiichi? Now that's an odd picture.

[aliensporebomb]

Episode 21: YES!!!!! It begins.


Not a bad idea but the whole episode was a big set-up in a way.

Belldandy as demon? Doesn't really work. Her half-hearted efforts
to be bad were funny although I must admit I like her sunglasses
look. BUT......

My idea that "Hild goes for Keiichi" starts to become true. I can't
wait to see 22.

The ending was sort of a stunner....



You sure you want to know?



Hild-sama in bed with K1!!!!!!!!!! Yowsa!

[Kazetsubaki]

finish watch it.....is there any news they make a 3rd season? or this 2nd season is the end of it.....

[ZODDGUTS]

Finished watching the 2nd season overall it was a great season much better then the first season. Even if episode 22 was filler I liked it hell that episode is better then the stuff that the manga has been putting out lately. I rate the season 9/10.

Anyways I get the feeling that there be OVA's made episode 22 didn't really feel like an ending per say. They still haven't shown you know who's parents in the anime other then in the ED theme.

Here's hoping for a third season to be made there's still a whole bunch of manga material to use for another whole season. :)

Edit: It does look like there be two more episodes made like they did last season but will be on DVD.

link: " http://www.goddess-project.net/board/index.php?showtopic=2093&st=990 According to Goo.net, the day of launch of the DVD with the 23 and 24 episode of Ah My Goddess Second Season is.... Febreary 23th, 2007. "

[gohan11]

I had a feeling they would do that, the new thing these days with a few series seems to be to cap the ammount of TV episodes so that they have a bunch of extra episodes so the DVD's will sell better.

[Souten no Seigyoku]

2 more episodes released w/dvd to boost sales. Figures. NP.

In ep22 Hild wins over K1 by going back in time to his High School years. Bell and the gang have to go back in time to win his heart. In the surface it appears Hild is after K1, but the real purpose is to make Bell go bad.

Not a bad episode although it was a teaser. Bell didnt really confess. Although she had confessed in one of the Peroth episodes, there was no smooch or anything which wouldve been great for an ending. Perhaps episodes 23-24? I sure hope so. If theres not gonna be a season 3 they gotta do the smooch scene for some closure to the series.

[Js2756]

Well, finally saw episode 22 of S2 and talk about a let down. Yeesh, this one episode drops the TV series a notch, especially when compared to the manga, where Bell has no problems stating her feelings for Keiichi or fighting for him. It was kinda cool though to see Hild play a larger role. I still wanted more Peorth and Lind, but that probably won't happen unless the angel eater story arc ever gets animated.

If Keiichi's parents do show up, who would be the fourth mahjong player seeing as Peorth isn't living with Bell and Keiichi?

@aliensporebomb
Regarding old-Skuld and Keiichi, in the manga, mini-Bell tags along with them, and specifically tells Skuld to stop being so clingy with Keiichi. Of course, they never went on a date or anything like that in the manga, but it does show Bell's jealous side vs her oblivious side in the anime.

Now I will have to check the manga out. A jealous Bel' I have to see.

[raideralan]

Dunno if this is a spolier but what does it mean when Belldandy said yes in five years?

[ZODDGUTS]

She meant that she would go with him to the museum in the current timeline that she came from which they did. BTW Those tickets that he was asking Belldandy to go with her was for the museum just in case you missed it.

[sunny_ta]

After hearing what everyone was saying about the last 2 episodes, I feared the worst, but they were pretty good. Not good enough to be a definite ending, though.

I can't help but wonder, after that event did the timeline return to normal? Meaning, Keiichi still wound up calling Belldandy? And if so, did he recognize her? There's quite a lot of mysteries about it, but seeing it end up perfectly fine in the end is good.

Come on Season 3!

[dxanato]

If episode 22 was the season finally it was little disappointing imho. I like the Hild in the episode but some how I feel that Bell never said her true feeling.

Come on Season 3!

The timeline returned to normal immediately after the goddesses returned to their correct time. If you watch the episode again, you'll notice that Keiichi doesn't remember what he was doing right after Bell leaves, meaning that nothing has changed. It's one of those problems that always crops up when writers mess with time travel. More often than not it becomes a convoluted mess with a ton of unanswered questions.

Now I will have to check the manga out. A jealous Bel' I have to see.

The incident with Skuld is actually one of Bell's more subdued jealous reactions, although the fact that Skuld calls Bell on it is pretty funny. If you really want to see a jealous Bell, you should check out the last couple of story arcs. There is one where Keiichi gets abducted by some sea people (kinda like mermaids, but a little different) that really gets Bell fired up.

[ForeverZero]

is there only 22 episodes in the second season??? i can't believe it, i just saw the episode 22 and hoped to get the rest and see them all together :S i can't believe it :S that chapter can't be the end, it just can't.

[Kleo Scanti]

Well, there will be two more episodes on DVD only. Also you can read manga (if you haven't yet) to get more AMG stories.

[aliensporebomb]

Well, the Hild episode that ended the TV season two was nice - we
did see a very jealous Bel' (I liked her lightning bolt zap effect) but I
am afraid Hild didn't do quite as much as I was hoping.

It really was a way for her to try and make Bel' go bad. It wasn't
nearly as threatening as when she first showed him and asked her
pointedly "can I have him?" and they tossed the spade/hearts around.

It would have been more interesting if she actually was
interested in him - it would have been harder for them to
get him back.

And yes, Bel' should have confessed but was either too
frightened to or kept getting interrupted by Hild.

I enjoyed it, it was kind of funny to go back to K1's high
school days.

[Erikku]

so 22 is the last episode?.......... that really does bring tears to my eyes im not even gonna lie.... i love ah! my goddess so much and that was not the best way to end it. it wasnt a dramatic ending for bell and K at all...

[aliensporebomb]

There's two more OVAs that have yet to see the light of day.

[suki4anime]

:heh: One of the best series of all time should not end like this. k and Bel-chan need atleast a real confession and kiss scene to satisfy our needs, and only then should the season end. As things stand now im pretty pissed.:frustrated: and frustrated.

[SailorMoon4ever]

I finally finished watching this series ...and was very unhappy with episode 22 being the last one ..really hope they go for a season 3.

[kikko_s]

Oh I hope this show did well and they pick up a 3rd season. I just finished watching all the episodes. It follows the manga fairly well. Probably won't happen until next fall though.

:(

Edit: They better make a 3rd season or I'm gonna be super pissed

I agree. And they better make it quickly too.


What should happen:

Keep in mind I'm not a reader of the manga.

(1) ...
(2) ...
(3) ...
OR:
...
Ack.
Somehow i think this series isnt going where we want it to at all..at all....at all...you get it.

1. Definitely agree here. We need to see this happen. He clearly has more intimate times with Urd. And he acts like hes still in an elementary school relationship! How old is Belldandy....21 right? Keiichi is that age too i bet. I know he has a ton of respect for Belldandy to not want to rush the relationship, but if she asks you if you want your back washed, say YES for crying out loud! Dont run out like a pansy! She likes you, you like her. There shouldnt be this whole insecurity deal going on!!!

2. and 3. I want both of them to move on as well. Urd is cool and all, trying to get Bel and K1 together, but it's clearly up to them more. This is where i wish K1 and Bel were more forward like in the OAV series. Bel didnt even think twice to kiss K1 when he was under love potion influence. And K1 actually tried to make moves too. And clearly Skuld should just leave the whole picture. Go back to Heaven and meat a 'god' or something. Youre not doing anything for the relationship and you keep ruining it between Bel and K1.

I understand your pain aliensporebomb. The story is lovely...but it's really frustrating. Im going to get so mad to the point where i rewrite the whole thing in novel form soon!!! (im too lazy to do that, but i feel like it the way this whole thing is going).

In regards to Ep 20, (i think) where Bel and K1 were in 'infinite space' land, why didnt they actually kiss there at least? They were all alone! They could have developed their relationship a bit there. Make them talk a bit more, show some more feelings/fluff...but once again...DENIED!!!

Season 3 (if any) better fix all this.

[kikko_s]

I don't know if you read the manga or not, but even by now (chapter 218), they're still the same. And they haven't animated close to where the manga is right now.

I kind of feel like they're shifting attention to Sentaro and Skuld now, and that's where Fujishima seems to be taking it. But jeez you'd think after nearly 20 years he'd have found out how to end the whole thing already. I mean everything seems to be hashed and rehashed now.

...but before that, animate everything first!

...but before that, animate everything first!Yeah. I just downloaded the scanlations last night and today, and read from 135 all the way to 218. I cant believe their the same as before...makes me so mad. The OAV and the movie had 1000000000X more relationship/character progress than the manga. What was the author even thinking!? He could have spent less time dragging the whole thing out with no relationship/concrete story progression, and made like an epic series that was filled with lots of original relevant stuff that the real fans/readers/viewers want to see. Heck, i bet we could just rewrite the story in good old novel format and made it really cool than what it took him 20 years to do (which is get nowhere and disappoint the fans).

Or, they could just make a 3rd season with like 25 episodes that wraps the whole thing up and actually has chacter and relationship progression, that doesnt follow the manga. I think i'd like that best.

[kikko_s]

Or, they could just make a 3rd season with like 25 episodes that wraps the whole thing up and actually has chacter and relationship progression, that doesnt follow the manga. I think i'd like that best. Eh, they can do all that at the end. I really want to see a lot of the manga get animated though. Sometimes stuff is funnier when you see it in action with the sound effects. Regardless of how far Fujishima's stretched it, a lot of it was actually pretty funny.

[aliensporebomb]

Well. I read some bits from Fujishima and I get the feeling that due to
his own lack of relationship progress is why we may have this lack of
forward momentum.

People tend to write what they know. And if you don't know about
relationships and how they work, you can only guess.

It's not as far fetched as one might think - I know a guy who just
turned 40 and he's never really had a girlfriend or dated much at
all - I get the feeling that Fujishima might be that kind of person.

I still look forward with hope for the story but sometimes we have
to make it up in our heads maybe.

[kikko_s]

Ehhh. It's his story he can end it however he wants. Besides, I don't think there are any couples in the entire world that have a relationship anywhere like Bell and K1's. Seriously, there's just no way. But he can definitely think of just some happy ending and have it all be the end of the story.

[Rall)eon117X]

It's just that i think they might run out of money before the anime concludes...kind of like InuYasha if you know what i mean :(.

This makes no sense. For all intensive purposes, Ah! My Goddess the anime is over (aside from the 2 direct to DVD episodes for the last DVD for season 2). It was never announced (as far as I know) of there being a third season, so I don't know where this idea that there would be more episodes produced came from.

Yeah, back in season 1, the director said he wanted to animate all of the manga, but that didn't mean that there was definitely going to be more back then. Even after he said that, nobody knew that there would be a season 2, until it was announced by the production company. Given the ratings drop from season 1 to 2, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there wasn't a third season. This show is different from Inuyasha because everyone knew that Sunrise would keep pumping out the episodes until they announced that it was over. A!MG was a show that the production company was taking the, "let's see how well it does, and if it does well, we'll make more" type of stance.

[shakib]

Is there gonna be anymore episodes in season 2?

[Senovit]

Not in season 2, but there might be more episodes if season 3 comes out.

[Kleo Scanti]

Not exactly. There will be two more OVA episodes, DVD only, for the season 2.

[Ninjamasta]

If they dont get seasson 3 going anytime soon I will be very pissed off!:frustrated:

Oh well I should just get the mangas instead and wait till the catch up before i start buying dvds.

[aliensporebomb]

I've heard no announcements for season 3, or even anime for next year
except one which is the second season of Higurashi and that was only
yesterday.

My guess? They'll do something. But I imagine how urgently they do this
will be largely based on how dvd sales go.

Currently, the box set of the first season DVDs goes for around $105 USD
at the local Best Buy store.

After having some time to reflect, season two was good - but they spent a
lot of time deviating from the plot to bring up other things.

Which sort of reminds me of season two of School Rumble. And we know
a season three is coming out for that show so perhaps we can infer from
the lack of conclusion here that perhaps there will be something done for
this show eventually.

If they don't do a third season they might consider doing several OVA episodes because the DVD sells have been pretty good.

i just want to know whether any of u need any information of how to get the manga. i will be really happy to help any of u that is interested as long as i can do it. and for the ones who has only watched the anime, maybe u will be interested in reading the manga also. the manga and the anime is completing each other (not mentioning several minor changes^^). PM me, and let me know of what u need and i will gladly help as much as i can.

and as for season 3, i am one of the people that will patiently waiting ^^ as long as if there are possibilities of the season 3 to be made and aired.

Personally, I dont find episode 22 to be that bad. In fact, if there is going to be a season 3, I think that it's a pretty good ending to season 2. (If there isn't going to be a seaon 3, however...)
