Title: Best Oh My Goddess Goddess?
Post by: Fineus on October 15, 2002, 02:36:43 pm: Simple one this, those of you who know it - who's your favourite Goddess from Oh My Goddess? I've included Mara as an option as well since she has more of a main part than other demons in it ;)

And to help out with remembering:

(http://www.animepott.de/gallery/omg/omg9.jpg)
From left to right: Urd, Belldandy, Skuld

Belldandy, Peorth

Mara

Post by: Fineus on October 15, 2002, 02:45:59 pm: Yeah, ok - I can see some people are ignorant of what this is, please don't start spamming with "wtf is this?" posts m'kay?

To save everyone from that annoyance, read this:

And become less ignorant. Perhaps even then you can make an informed post on the poll :)

Perhaps, if you didn't still have admin powers, I'd show you who's ignorant and why. But let's no get into that, I enjoy visiting these boards and would hate to have to register with a different login.

But if you're posting a whole thread about something which is not of common knowledge (such as an anime/manga, whatever that is - I'm not interested enough to follow the link anyway), you give some information about it first. And I typed that post even before you edited yours with images, so if someone is to be blamed here it certainly isn't me.

Post by: Fineus on October 15, 2002, 03:03:44 pm: Mmm, I should point out that the point of this isn't just to judge them by their looks, they're cartoons for goodness sake. But by which of them is the best? Belldandys loving nature, Urds way with potions and love, Skulds tech abilities etc... as well as their personalities. This isn't about anything so shallow as their looks.

Edit: Levy, it wasn't a dig at you - it was just me realising that people might (quite likely) not know what this is all about, I'm sorry if I made it sound like it was just you - it wasn't. I was just making sure that everyone had the facts before I found myself with a thread that had two votes and twenty other people saying "what's this Thunder?". So you see, no need to get angry or make insults... I wasn't.

Ok then. It's just that I don't usually interpret "become less ingorant" as a compliment.

Post by: vadar_1 on October 15, 2002, 04:10:31 pm: wtf is this?

anime looks all the same. Huge eyed *****es with huge tits in skimpy clothing. Their faces look nothing like a real person. and they all seem to be able to fly. Holy lets all travel to the starship Defy-Physics and take a trip to dosn't-exist land.
Title: Best Oh My Goddess Goddess?
Post by: Stealth on October 15, 2002, 04:15:51 pm: exactly! and they all have small mouths, and big eyes, did you mention big eyes?

EDIT: I forgot, anime is all about fighting too... i never saw any anime program that didn't have fights or something in it, and whenever there's fights they show the anime person, with colorful backgrounds, like they're traveling at high speeds.

i don't like it personally
Title: Best Oh My Goddess Goddess?
Post by: Fineus on October 15, 2002, 04:43:11 pm: With all due respect, if you guys want to ***** about what you do and don't like then start your own thread about it, capiche? This is to resolve one thing - peoples preferences in the goddess's. Not wether you like big eyes on girls in anime or not (did you not read my very clear message that this wasn't just about looks?).

Lets keep it on the topic, ok? And this one is specific. You want to talk about big and little eyes? Do it in your own damn thread!

Post by: an0n on October 15, 2002, 04:55:14 pm: *diverts Thunder's attention away from Redfang*

So....err......Which is your favourite?

Post by: Kamikaze on October 15, 2002, 07:19:19 pm: I must say I like Belldandy out of those people.. but in a general sense I prefer non-belldandy-type characters because these nicy, nicy characters who are also dead-dumb are just not my thing
....

I Like:

Kiryu (Mamotte Shugogetten)
(http://www.alltel.net/~nbi/images/perfect.jpg) (red-haired one)
and Kanako (Love Hina Again)
(http://anime.realidadalternativa.com/previews/lovehinaagain/ovakan2.jpg)

Title: Best Oh My Goddess Goddess?
Post by: Nico on October 15, 2002, 07:25:27 pm: Urd, coz she's the most... mmh, to my taste, character-wise. Couldn't say for Mara, I haven't read the manga, only seen the OVAs and the movie.
For the critics about animes, I laugh at you coz it's always the same retarded cliches, you don't know what you're talking about.
I'll just take one famous exemple, the Grave of the Fireflies. Watch this one ( I have dozens of exemple, but I know you won't even check this one, so why should I bother? ), and shut the **** up.

Post by: Knight Templar on October 15, 2002, 10:28:48 pm: ack i hate purple. :p

I'll admit, the only anime i've watched is DragonBallz .. it gets old quick though "Goku stole my balls, now i must kill him! Super Sayin Laser Magic!" *BOOM*

"Wha??? he's not dead?" "I hope you brought a coffin, because i am sending you to your grave Vegeta!" "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Agonised Screams* "

and sexy anime? i hope you don't mean like Sailor Moon sexy..
Title: Best Oh My Goddess Goddess?
Post by: Shrike on October 15, 2002, 11:06:47 pm: Can't say I've watched any Oh My Goddess.

Actually it's been a while since I saw any anime. I think my fav fantasy stuff is the Bastard series. Great stuff. :D

Post by: Fineus on October 16, 2002, 02:44:15 am: Glad to see this didn't go to hell in my absence last night, and thanks for being understanding Stealth. Also thanks everyone for your input!

Kamikaze, I see where you're coming from but I like her the most for perhaps that reason. I mean she's uniqe, there's no other charachter that comes into that catagory. It's refreshing that they can do that with her and pull it off.

it's a play on word with the english expression oh my god.
In english, they translated with Ah! My goddess, they didn't get the pun :rolleyes:

Yes! Gundam, Macross, Evangelion. Hell, even Transformers! (The original series, not this newfangled CG crap)

Has that got something to do with Scandinavia?

Post by: elorran on October 16, 2002, 08:54:46 pm: O,MG is one of my fave anime series.

Stares at Thunder

You.... you... you... YOU FORGOT RIND! How could you forget the fifth goddess in that poll!?

Rind followed after Peorth as the fifth goddess and the first of the warrior dieties to actually feature in the storyline (grants Keiichi the use of one of her 2 angels). Though her appearance it pretty recent.

Post by: neo_hermes on October 16, 2002, 10:37:58 pm: Macross is the BEST!
Oh my goddess was pretty good. I liked Urd

I guess I haven't gotten that far yet! Hehe... you have to understand that I live in the south of the UK, anime can be thin on the ground here (aside from the big legue stuff like Akira and so on).
