such an unsatisfying end for a really great manga. there should have been a better ending than that. personally, i would have preferred him becoming a god or something.
Well, yes, I also feel ya.
The wedding, could've been more grander, epic and flashier. While at least they got married and recognized, it didn't feel very complete and felt rather lacking, given how long the whole thing has been around for.
But at least, maybe he became a god at some point after that? I mean, look at the clues.
She's immortal. They made a vow to stay together forever. He has the door open for him, at any time he chooses, to accept Belldandy's father's offer on godhood, and he didn't totally threw the notion aside so left it open for future consideration.
To me, the 2005 anme adaptation of these series, really opened my mind up to enjoy anime other than generic "shonen" stuff (Think Naruto, Bleach, etc.). I think it was a pivotal point for me at the time towards really becoming an anime geek and fan.
The OST was the best I've ever heard for a TV show at the time (and among the best I can think of till npow), the animation was great, Belldandy's VA (Ms Inoue) was gorgeous, and the story was heart-warming and interesting.
Anyway, I will miss these series. Really nice stuff.
