Actually, if you check the "Staff & Cast" page of the website, they list the character Lind (リンド) is being voiced by the seiyu Miki Itoh (who also did her in the TV series). Looks like your hopes will be granted.

Just a few more weeks before the specials will be aired. Can't wait to see it. Same as you guys, I hoped to see more development between Keiichi and Belldandy but I'm pretty satisfy with the way they are now. Just hope to see them showing their affection for each other again. Anyway, its good to see Lind again. I kind of like her character though

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Its only one special isn't it? More would be nice though.

Oh, Peorth is listed too. It's only 1 episode? I hope it will be movie length instead of a half hour...

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Yeah, Movie length would be nice. I was kind of expecting ~45 minutes though.

I would certainly love to see a multi-episode mini-series, but so far the very limited information on the show makes it sound like a one-shot deal. If that is indeed the case, I hope it will be at least a 1 hour broadcast (48-50 minutes of actual anime).

I'm actually kind of supprised we have not heard more about the special by now. They are certainly keeping a tight lid on any information.

It 'll be the Rind arc; we'll get to see the twin angels of Rind, monster eater, Belldandy and Blue Lance!

More information here and here

Looks like the full Rind arc until she went back to heaven, according to afternoon january issue

[Sakuya]

Thanks for the scans, that looks awesome! Lind looks awesome! Did they change the design for Blue Lance? Because it's been awhile since I read this arc of the manga and I don't remember her being a furball...

[wynaut]

well, come what may i hope this special episode will lead to season 3. . .

[panzerfan]

AMG has been running for so long by now. At this point in time, many are convinced that K1's just going to march on with Belldandy as they have for the last 2 decades.

Whoa! Thanks for those links. This is looking quite cool and exciting! Lets see, only 9 days until its broadcast? I hope it gets subbed fairly quickly, I really can't wait to see it.

The design for Blue Lance is very faithful to the manga. It's just harder to notice in the manga because Bell is covering up most of the bottom hair most of the time.

[Sakuya]

In the orange scan listed above, here, it does say it indeed has 2 episodes. I think it says will be played back-to-back. Can anyone confirm?

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Forgive my ignorance, but I have two quick questions:

1) Who/what is Blue Lance?

and

2) Why does Belldandy look like a demon? (I refer to the red-garbed version of Bell in the prints)

As anticipated, Fighting Wings is based on the story of the Angel eater arc confirmed within the site.

Spoiler:

1) Blue Lance is a devil that gets implanted into Belldandy by Hild. It would later get transfered to Welsper.

2) Belldandy looks like a demon because of Blue Lance. Hild is attempting to turn the goddesses into demons by removing their angels and replacing them with devils.

I agree.

Spoiler for Manga:

Besides, it's progressing very slowly in the manga and we're like at chapter 228 (if I'm not mistaken). If it progresses too much in the anime, there won't be a third season cos it'll be going off track. And there's a lot in the manga that needs to be animated. Urd's exam for example

The title seems to hint about Angel Eater's arc. More Hild then!

ohhh. . ..in that case it would sad for the AMG lovers.. .

[VC Matsumoto]

Looking forward to this........nice to see Hild hasn't given-up on making
Belldandy one of her own......maybe she make Bell into the (devil)daughter she
never had!

It's at chapter 231 at the moment, while the relationship side of things with Kei and Bell have taken a back seat, Fujishima has been coming up with new arcs, though there really needs to be a killer story arc as it's been lacking recently due to the production of the anime the past couple years

There is still a fair bit of the manga to be animated fortunately so enough for another 2 seasons maybe, depending on how its used

It'll be good to see the Angel Eater arc, even if it looks like Welsper wont make an anime appearance
