Hm, it should've aired already, right? I do not see any screencaps anywhere. It says 12/8 at 3:40am was it? For my time zone, yesterday would've been 12/8 in Japan. Would 3:40am in the morning make it 12/9 since it's past midnight? Man, time zones are so confusing!

If anyone comes across screencaps, please post some links to them here. I'm so excited.

I'll wait until it's torrented. If it's not under license i'm sure it will be out in a week or two subbed. I wish I could understand their language because American voice actors annoy me.

My understanding was that it aired late Saturday night (past midnight) so it was in fact very early Sunday morning.

The way the Japanese list their TV programs is that if it aired at 3:40 AM, then it would be listed as Saturday 27:40 (i.e. 3:40 past midnight).

All the same, please have some patience

I see, thanks for clearing that up. Someone has gotten it up by the way, it's in 2 parts even though it aired back-to-back.

9 of 10.

It would be 10 for me if they didn't remove most of Mara's appearances. Everything else was just perfect.

Just where is the dammed thing?
Would be nice if someone could post screencaps ...
Anyway, if it's the angel eater arc, i don't think it's that funny... Urd is the first one to have her angel removed, so she must spend almost all the time sleeping.. bahh

[Kleo Scanti]

Actually it's all about Lind. She's really great in these specials, much better than in the manga. Hild is also marvellous.
As for Urd, when she was on screen, she was just amazing. Well, as always.

i thought it was really good *just watched it w/ korean subs* so is this considered as 3rd season? or it was only special of 2 episodes? T_T

Yup, just 2 episode special. I just skimmed the raws and man, the fight scenes in this plus the vocal music were incredible! In one of the interviews with the VA on the official site, I made out that Kikuko Inoue said this special felt more like a film and yeah, I believe it would've been even better as a movie; better budget and everything, it would've been awesome.

I wonder what's next for the AMG anime franchise?

[Demongod86]

Saw the raw.

Demon outfit Belldandy=secks plz kthx.

And Lind...

Lind is teh pwnage.

That is all.

[happyfoosball]

The artwork in this episode is the best I have seen in the series.

Spoiler:

Hilds face when she thought Keiichi shot at her was pricless. That moment was worth the whole episode.

[rath-vermouth]

I was not disappointed. Perfectly animated. And demon Belldandy made me drool and I'm a girl

Spoiler for Scene:

They didn't show what happened to the devil-turned-angel. I watched the raw version so not sure whether they mentioned anything about it but yeah, don't know what happened to her.

Spoiler for If you really want to know - manga spoiler:

She caused a lot of problems being Bell's second angel, so they had to find a new host for her. It happened to be a demon cat living in the temple. He never appeared in the anime, so I don't know what they are going to do here.

[mdauben]

I can't find any screen caps yet, but I did find this.

I hope I can hold off watching until the fansubs are out. This looks good!

EDIT (Found some screencaps!):

Blog review of the special

[X10A_Freedom]

Was good fighting and stuff, very enjoyable and with Lind at the helm it really made a difference, being a full, "proper" battle rather than Belldandy's half-arsed ones, ala end of Season 1.

Spoiler:

...until Belldandy let the creature go??? Lind was absolutely right when she insisted it must be killed. Ah dang it! I have to say Belldandy really spoils the battles.

The RAW I watched was also labeled wrong, and I ended up watching it in the wrong order!

[Otomefan]

A couple of notes about the new specials.

It is very clear that not only will Lind appear in the specials, but we will also see an appearance made by Peorth. Whether this will last through the whole of the specials I don't know. I do know that in the previews, Peorth can be seen in the background crying along with Urd and Skuld. We may also get to see Keichi have an angel for a brief moment. In the manga, Keichi had control of Cold Mint, Lind's other angel, during the period of the Angel Eater Saga. And we will also see a more adult Noble Scarlet make her debut once again.

Looks like she has a fairly substamtial role in the show!

Spoiler for Keiichi:

That too!

Spoiler for Nobel Scarlet:

And we will also see a more adult Noble Scarlet make her debut once again.

Awwwww! Isn't she cute?

[Otomefan]

thanks mdauben! Sorry I live in the US so I have yet to see any of the specials yet. Any clue as to when they will be released in the US?

Well, as stated in the first post of this thread, the TV Specials have not yet been licensed, therefore there is no current indication when they will be released in the U.S.
