As an animation, Bakemonogatari has a simple, clean art style. But the guest illustrations for the series are anything but simple! So, it's great to see that °Tens took on a more complex illustration and made it his own with vector gradients so fine at points it more resembles painting that vectoring. Do have a look at this beautiful wallpaper!

Inkscape?

Seems like people get eager to join an Inkscape group. I guess I will not wait any longer for the v6 then ^^

Im a real fan of Ah! My Goddess, I have readed all the manga, but i dont know if it will end someday ^_^; , i think that its hard to make it an end, its not like i want it to end, but it could last forever. there are a lot of changes on the drawing style of Kosuke Fujishima on this manga, actually i preffer the ones from the mangas around the vol. 10-20. But all of the styles are great, Kosuke Fujishima its a great artist.

The art definitely has evolved quite a bit over the years. There's something about the current style that I don't like as much as a few volumes back though. To me, the eyes of the characters (specifically Belldandy) seem lifeless; I don't see the emotion in them that I used to. That's besides the point though. Right now, I just don't see it wrapping up anytime soon. Keiichi's relationship with Belldandy still has not made any real progress (of it's own accord). It's very possible that Fujisama just doesn't want to finally have to commit to one between the two, and is 'delaying the inevitable'. I just hope that when it finally _does_ end, it's not something ambiquos like Ranma...

Hmm illustration wise, the recent ones have a more simpler hairs, shadow clothes etc. Probably due to the TV series but i really think the mid-late 90s Belldandy looks the best. Now Belldandy looks like a teenager while the old Belldandy look more like adult...

I remember checking to see how the art was in the first volume to the later volume. I have to say there, it was really different ^_^

Ah! My Goddess have been going for more than 10 years ( around 15 years) but it seem like it won't end anytime soon.

Here are some of the reason.

- the manga takes too long to release - One chapter a month.
- There are alot of room for more stories to take place in Ah! My Goddess.
- Too much fans want more!

I like the 5 episode OAV and Movie best.
A tribute to a really good anime!@_@

Her love I'll feel, her face I'll see,
Her gentle words caressing me,
Her ideas change my life so much,
And yet her hand I'll never touch.
The soothing sound of soundless voice,
Often helped me make the choice,
Of good or bad, or love or care,
Or "Sorry, I've been a bit unfair."
She isn't real, she is just art,
But her love exists inside my heart.

I want to thank you, for all you've done,
For all the hours and all the fun,
And all the times I see her face,
Her loving golden tender grace,
For all the time we've spent we three,
Belldandy, Keichi Morisato and me.
But most of all, I know it's true,
She could not love, if you didn't, too.

Wow what a nice and sweet poem. I love it ^_^

I can feel the gentle words fleeting as I read those words. Very good indeed.

I was just thinking about Belldandy seiyuu(voice), for me I think the voice suit her perfectly. But I wonder what do other people think of it.

It's a great series, but I agree that there's not much going on with Keiichi and Belldandy's relationship. Lots of other things are going on, but these two are the main characters, and although there are things done with them, it's not much. Like we have new characters like Welsper, Rind and Hild, but the romance between K1 and Bell is just fading away. It gets mentioned every now and then, but that seems to be it. I'm disappointed in that regard.

And I'm still getting used to the changing art style. I like the stuff around the time of when we finally see Urd's Angel and the appearence of Welsper. The older stuff before that is good too; around the time of Terrible Master Urd is when I really started liking the art.

Although it's hard to imagine the series ending, it could happen. I don't know how, but it could happen.

I think Skuld is the coolest goddess. Let's see... *searching*...(I know I had that around here somewhere)...*searching*...
AHA! found it! here goes...


Skuld is our Goddess, as sweet as a dream
Her fury is fuelled by lots of ice cream!

She is pretty and ever so neat
And this perfect Goddess will not know defeat!

With swift calculation
Our shining sensation
Will solve each equation!

Her system is unbuggable!
Our Skuld is so huggable!

SKULD! SKULD! SKULD!

^_^ To remind everyone that in Norse mythology Skuld is the one who cuts the thread of life when your time is up, so she is not a Goddess to be taken lightly!

Yeah, i agree with what people ahve posted already, the mid 90s style looked the best, i started the series from watching the ova then the movie, then i started reading the manga and i think this is a good way for anyway to start with AMG since the early manga style didn't look so good :| emoticon as for the series' ending, i hope it will be something happy (and closed) and well, still reasonable.. umm maybe keiichi becoms a god and lives happily ever after with belldandy XD i dunno hope it won't end it a while though...

You know, I completely forgot that Aa! Megami-sama even had a manga version. I don't know how..., since I've read some of the manga, and seen the movie and OAVs.

But yeah, a series like Aa! Megami-sama ending...? I suppose it's possible. They'd need to build up a strong story arc, and then tie in the conclusion of the series with the conclusion of the story arc. It could happen.

Will it ever end?

I've been wondering about that ever since 10 years ago -_- I love the manga but... the plot development is so mind-numbingly slow. It has been over 20 vols and Keiichi has still yet to confess his feelings to Belldandy, for heaven's sake. And we're not even sure if Belldandy even notices Keiichi's feelings for her. I think she does know since she is goddess... but if they reveal later that she doesn't, I will be so disappointed in Fujishima.

I know it *has* to end someday but I just don't want it to end these days ^^ There are still many stories to tell, many troubles for Keiichi and many Skuld bombs xD It cannot end now!

How could it end? I guess Bell could become human, that'd be pretty interesting.

It was a excellent manga, I'll have to agree.. but

I sorted got tired of the main characters never get any progress, I meant after 10 years and they are still not going anywhere, probably no progress at all...... that just won't happen in real life.
I already forget about the magna until last week when I saw their figures in a toy store. I thought it has ended few years back then....hehes
anyway, is it trying to break the record of the longest running manga/anime series in the history?
