They're both in the cyberpunk genre... so there are some similarities. Not surprising that they would remind you of each other.

yes thats true, actually there are a lot of animes that feature androids and cyborgs, some are dark and serious like Ghost in the Shell whereas some are of a more lighthearted nature such as Chobits.

Back to the thread topic about Belldandy's sad expression, are you sure it's not just the drawing of Belldandy's current look in the manga that's making you think so?

Well, having read up to volume 30 now, I think my questions have mostly been answered, but I don't like to discuss spoiler material. I try really hard to limit my comments to what has been in the first 20 volumes, since those have been released in English, unless someone is questioning something I have said and I can't give an answer with the pre-21 stuff...

Larry

thankyou very much for not giving spoilers! i really appreciate it! this gives rise to a prob though, we cant talk on equal terms! but still i appreciate it! Arigatou!

wow there r alot of them out o.o how many mangas have been made? Well discussing the first 20 mangas I noticed Bell always feels bad forsomeone and her sad expression is not explained till mid way or the end. Such as the manga titled 'Strange Traveler" wth Schrodingers whale. Its a small example but its still there ^-^ I won'texplain it though incase others have not read it yet, i believe it was volume 17 tho.

There have been 30 volumes so far in Japan, but only 20 of them have been officially translated into English so far. Since the first 20 volumes are available for purchase in English, I don't consider any of that stuff spoiler material.

I have downloaded "Scanlations" for volumes 21-30... any discussion of them I will mark with *spoiler*, but I try to avoid discussing them unless I have to in order to make my point.

Larry

lol! the only spoilers i fear are those from the volumes 29 and 30... 28 volumes have already been translated in French... ^^ (me soooo happy about that!!! :bg: )

Great all I need more reasons to hate the French..
Ah I,m kidding... Peorth is French how can you hate the French?
Peorth is French in the French version right? What do the French think of her, so many questions...

errr... although Peorth does speak some french sometimes i dont think she actually is french! ^^'
she's a goddess and goddesses do not have nationalities etc. they're universal.

Is that manga wise? Or kinda a unversal goddess rule ^-^? I find there is something interesting about Peorth however there seems t be more to her character, i think she is ment to play a bigger role later ^-^

Actually, that does bring to mind another question. How common is it for mortals to receive wishes? Keiichi has gotten two, but there has never been anyone else shown receiving a wish. It would be interesting if another character were introduced, perhaps someone Belldandy gave a wish to before getting Keiichi's call...

Larry

to true, I would really like to see what other s did with that kind of oppertunity..
and technical terms han not mara handed out a wish or two?

I believed that Belldandy previous clients had a memory wipe.....

maybe Keiichi is the first? however considering how the world is, i very much doubt anyone would get a wish at all........

yea maybe it was her first client...

and to reply to cole for:

well Péorth in the french version isn't titled as french... sadly... lol! dispite the fact that she loves roses... but i suppose it won't hurt anyone calling her french... (yay! a french goddess! ^^') and francly, i'm the only one i know who likes AMG as much as i do near were i live. but i'm sure that many french girls and guys like Péorth's french side of her personality... ^^ have i answered your questions cole?
