How I ran into Belldandy?
I found a fanart in a friend's room and got her name wrong. As I was getting into damsel-in-distress art and storytelling, I figured she'd be the perfect fancomic leading lady, and put her into a few stories without knowing who the hell she was. Usually, she'd get snatched by some random force of evil, and my equally random strike force would bust her out. I didn't even know there was a Keichii. The first time I looked into an AMG manga, I was blown away. I thought, "How the hell did I miss all THIS?!" Pushed by a need to know her more as I got better at drawing and threw her into more complex scenarios without the "Perils of Penelope Pitstop" feel, I finally learned all about Bell-chan and her world (and thank God the Almighty, her actual NAME) and eventually came to understand the entire story.
I actually have yet to buy a DVD, although I see fansubbed clips on the Internet, and have already stared at several Mini-Goddesses episodes. Funny!
After a long time of wandering and only staring at fansites such as this, but as I joined forum after forum to let myself be heard, I finally joined the fans here and sealed my love for Belldandy, AMG (the anime, not the Mercedes-Benz tuning group...actually, I'm big fans of both!), and all the rest of the cast!
Nowadays, AMG is a draw with another favorite anime of mine: Chobits. I've focused on writing fanfiction with a ridiculous air, and am still assembling all the parts. They are my faves because they involve the same things: pure love against all odds, devotion to the one you DO love, and never, EVER giving in to obstacles.
