Until the last arc I was convinced Belldandy would become human. That matter was done for me once Keiichi was tested.
Well, imperfect ending to a series I enjoyed greatly.
Not taking an issue with the wedding ceremony, it was in fact wonderful. I liked the whole presentation. The last line from the beginning of the series. Generally, the final stretch did more right than wrong. It's just that the fails were more on the unfortunate side.
The usual cuplrit is a lack of epilogue. A casual scene with all the other characters, you know, nothing too fancy. Speaking of which. I liked the final arc well enough, not as much as the slice of life parts with recurring characters, but it had an interesting variety compared to other serious arcs. I just don't get how the mangaka could spend so many chapters on it without giving the supporting characters at least a bit more closure. He could've easily taken half of it and invest it in aforementioned aspects. The reasons behind that seem like a mystery to me, was he burnt out or did he really already focus on something else? Either way, a pity.
He created many characters I grew fond of. Urd was W from the beginning. Belldandy always adorable slowly developed to one of my favorite love interests. I even warmed up to Skuld. The supporting cast was pretty loveable too. Keiichi didn't blew me away, but neither was there anything to dislike. The character did it's job and grew over time.
Credits for that and all the work in 26 years of publication.
