ah! megami-sama, episode 1
and now, for something completely different.
- in the opening, the representation of the goddesses as figures in a classical painting was a nice touch. gives the impression that they're coming to life from ancient norse mythology. for those of you who don't get the connection, go here and read about the origins of the goddesses' names :P
- the yggdrasil system looks way too colorful and convoluted. nice cg effects, though.
- we finally see urd with black and white wings.
- I like the attention to detail, such as the ghost images on keiichi's tv and some of the scenes depicting keiichi's bad luck. case in point: keiichi needs to return a tape before it's overdue. he has to cross the street. walking light is red, so he runs up the stairs and takes the overhead bridge. as soon as he's up there, the light turns green. the scene is brief, so it took me a while to realize what just happened. but the sublety was excellent.
- I didn't really like how keichii was drawn in the intro, but he looked all right during the episode. either I was just seeing things or the intro was drawn differently.
- belldandy looks as lovely as ever. I wonder if she'll have reservations about keiichi's wish, just like in the manga.
- for that matter, I wonder if the tv series will follow the manga exactly. in that case, it would be kind of like naruto or kenshin, with story arcs instead of one defining story. that would be... interesting to see. I love the manga, but I'm not terribly fond of anime with that kind of format.
- keichii's character is portrayed accurately - a guy down on his luck who still maintains a positive view of life. that latter aspect makes him a bit more realistic than characters like keitaro from love hina, who are nothing but pitiful dorks.
