It's funny, I went to Wikipedia and looked up this game, this tidbit is listed about the main character, Yuri:

"Yuri is the main protagonist, an empathetic young man who doesn't give a second thought about helping those in need but knows his limits. He is quite sarcastic and cynical but a nice man at heart. He also yearns for his older brother."

And then, the blue haired girl with a spear, Judith:

"She is sensible and speaks of going ahead without taking measures. Because she acts without explaining her actions, she cannot get an impression of the situation. She appears gentle, but she decides without hesitation and pushes onward. She speaks strongly without delay, which makes it difficult to socialize with her. When she goes into battle, she becomes violent, which creates a feeling of mystery about her. She wields a spear in battle."

Oh, and she's voiced by Aya Hisakawa.

>Souichi from eX-Driver
>Lisa (eX-Driver)

I imagine (ZOMG TEH) Rei from eX-Driver being a cross-between Urd & Peorth.

>>4835

Never really thought of that, though it's a good point.

I know Lorna is essentially Belldandy/Miyuki, both style and personality, probably the closest match than what the others are in terms of creations

One thing i've noticed in his designs is that a good amount of characters wear some form of gloves, the fingerless being more common (whole cast of Sakura Taisen have fingerless, Belldandy, though it stops at the base of the fingers, Peorth, Ootaki and Tamiya (Tamiya is full while Ootaki is fingerless), Urd is full in the goddess outfit, Skuld is full, Keiichi fingerless i believe, that is when he does, majority of the cast of You're Under Arrest, though they're cops so it's a given, eX-Driver, they're all fingerless i believe, not sure about Rei)and does them to pretty good detail (along with everything else for that matter too)

The chick with the pink hair, her suit kinda reminds me of Lind's outfit, at least the design around the neck down, not the part that goes over from the shoulders.

>Lorna is essentially Belldandy

Lotus Europa Special. The car of choice for Goddesses. Y'know, I can picture Belldandy driving a white one like Lorna Endou. The latter is even very reminiscent of Bell, in both looks & manner.

eX-Driver is the driving anime for those who can't stand the eye-melting ugliness of the characters in Initial D. Quasimodo City!!

>>4835

She looks like Kanoe from "Hanaukyo Maids". :-)

>>4840

>She looks like Konoe from "Hanaukyo Maids"

Very true. Morishige is one of my favorite mangaka, next to Fujishima-sama.

>>4844

And I wouldn't be surprised if Morishige had based Mariel on Belldandy. Fujishima certainly set the standard with beautiful, pure, kind & loving characters when he created Bell.

But getting back OT, I discovered something I hadn't known about before until I downloaded the eX-Driver Movie: eX-Driver Nina & Rei Danger Zone, a one-off OVA from 2002. You can get it via here:

http://hsbsitez.com/files-collection-downloads/1723/EX-Driver+-+Nina+&++Rei+Danger+Zone++OAV+

Interesting use of CGI in this (sort of) prequel.

>>4845
Oh boy, Mariel in gloves, something i love seeing. I swear at one point she was wearing them in the manga but i couldn't find it (apart from baseball outfit anyway)

>>4846

>>4845
He certainly did, though i was thinking of Kasumi Tendo which he could of based Belldandy off, the manga for Ranma 1/2 started back in '87.

Then again, Bell was based around Miyuki from that short promo comic strip where Miyuki appeared as a goddess to Natsumi. Given Miyuki is a kind character and bares similar character traits, my guess is that it would be a combination of Miyuki and Kasumi Tendo, as from what i recall, Kasumi is a rather homey/wife like character. I could be wrong.

But at anyrate i do agree that Belldandy is pretty much a character that others may be based around on or carry similar traits, or at least ones that people can compare to as a standard.

>>4846
Was kinda strange watching the movie and the OVA seeing as they have a combo of CG and 2D while the OVA series was just 2D animation all the way

this is my first attempt, so sorry if it's a little crap. like i said; first attempt at something like this

It's supposed to be a send-up of Constantine

Awesome shop is awesome.

MOAR!

Okay.

>>4528

sigh Lovely. :-) (Made by that guy who did the Belle-Belldandy pics. <G>)

Bought it.

Paid for it.

Waiting.

I have been scouring the internet for it and only found 1 shop that has it on "Pre-order" for 45 bucks.

Just curious

Ricin

I got mine for a bit cheaper than that.

Still waiting on it, though.

>>4832

What is a good site for ordering Doujins?

Edited from a CD cover. I have seen a low quality gif of this previously

Edited from a doujin cover

An edit/colourisation of a doujin page. I dont have the actual doujin though
"Red Hot Goddess" by Chinmatsuriya Honpo

>>4631
Nice stuff, interesting seeing bell in that as it's the pose and outfit for Sayoko on the Queen of Sayoko cover.

>>4631
Rather nice. I like seeing Belldandy in flattering clothes.

A revised version of 4633 above. Now full including the rest of the image

Odd that they'd take the time to make such a costume, and not bother with the emblems on her face...

>>4768
But, you know what, their facial markings aren't mentioned by anyone human-wise (at least that I recall). Makes you wonder if they are seen by human eyes when they are on earth.

>>4769

While not being able to cite anything specific offhand, I recall a number of times in the manga (and TV series?) where the Goddesses are labeled as foreigners based on their facial markings.

>>4770

Well, I remember a moment in the beginning of the original movie when she and K1 meet for the first time where Belldandy was seen as a foreigner but it was over her clothing, not her markings.

Megumi saw their markings when they had their memories erased, and Urd named her Watson

I was under the impression that only those who knew they were goddesses (such as K1) could see the markings, and the others could not, but I may be wrong in this...

>>4773

Well Megumi saw them ,and she is unaware that they are goddesses

In the TV Series, Urd's first meeting with Keiichi, as a pharmacist/nurse, seems to involve her concealing her own mark, and later allowing it to return.

So, it seems like she deliberately hid it, in hopes that he wouldn't make the connection between her and Bell.

>>4773

>>4814
Huh, guess I need to reread the entire series.

>>4165
Oh, ok

>>4208

Yeah, when I start building my new computer in about a year (the one I have has maybe a year or so of life left), I'll probably buy one, but at the moment I don't have any cash to spend on a scanner

>>4214
I know how you feel - I have a scanner but have no money for doujins. I've also just noticed the doujin I mentioned should be Jungle Swing, not Jungle Fever ><

>>4217

Yeah that's the one I have

Toranoana has it on their site - http://www.toranoana.jp/mailorder/article/04/0010/15/39/040010153972.html - there are two sample pics there too. I'm checking to see if they are old or new.

>>4219

The sample pics are old, one is from that doujin where Sayako does belldandy and th other is from Chihiro doing Sora, both of which have already been published

>>4226
Yup, you called it, Moulin Rouge and Long Train Runnin' respectively - looks like a compilation

Looks like another compilation is on its way - no further info at present

>>4816
I've just noticed the checklist on the right side of the two covers - they tell which doujins are being collected in each book.

>>4817
Yes, Sha La La has Himitsu/Gentei Issatsu (Secret/1&Only), Moulin Rouge, and Long Train Runnin'. The new one has Warau Inu no Seikatsu!, Prison Rouge, and Carp Island Fish Blitzkrieg. Neither has Jungle Swing or The Novel Goddesses.

Looks like Mara got her much-requested curves back. :o

>>4795

Let's hope her sense of style returns as well.

I miss S&M Mara, the way she dressed post Lord of Terror.

>>4824

As you've stated this before, and others have stated in rebuttable, they'll always be the focus because they're the main characters, and yet in Buffy look who got the spin off and the two movies made about the them.

Angel after he broke up with her, Spike and Giles after the end of the series, none of those are focused on Buffy.

Though the side characters only come through and develop based on the Bell/K1 relationship can't be helped as every story has to focus on them, even the so called filler arcs. Which only furthers the need for the side characters to have the spotlight exclusively to themselves, if Bell and K1 are always the center of the universe no one else is capable of coming out into their own. A cast of multiple, well developed characters is what keeps a series interesting, it's like how X-men is more popular than Spider-man because each X-man gets at least some time in the spot light to themselves for their characters to develop, otherwise the X-men wouldn't be nearly as popular as it is now if it were just totally focused on Xavier, Cyclops, Jean Grey and Wolverine all the time. Sadly however this was taken to the ultimate extreme and as a result so many new characters were added that the continuity got so convoluted, and many characters would leave and have spin off series of their own, which also added to continuity problems just for the sake of Marvel's greed.

>>4826

no matter how many times you say it, AMG isn't buffy, both series have different themes, also Spiderman made more money than X-Men.

giving the other characters their own spotlight wouldn't work, as none of the characters can carry a series alone, even the main couple needs Urd an Skuld for comic relief

>>4829

Different themes, similar problems and principles, Buffy was the best example i could think of at the time, but if you want a more similar example, Negima and Love Hina are much better examples of the problems i cited.

Spider-man and Batman, although focused on one specific character, still give greater time and focus on side characters and villains, which make them more popular.

>>4799

Shut up you guys, I'm in Heaven. Mmmmmm....so niiice...

Seriously...my hope of Fujishima and his ability to write a fresh new arc is restored. Hopefully...

>>4776

I just realized...I can see her nipple poking thru the suit. Right boob.

>>4790

It seems we have new demons! :o

Still, wish they looked more serious/cunning/evil. This indicates the arc might not be so serious.

>>4841

Well that's the sort of series that AMG is, though Fujishima seems to want to keep the ratio of serious and threatening characters to light, comical characters small.

With the introduction of Lind and Hild and the changes in Mara's character, i think these characters are to further create comedy and also maybe to create new demon characters finally.

Also what is the source for this pic of yours, it looks like a demonic princess Peach.

>>4805

>Oh heck yes, Urd in gloves = super win

Lovely, glovely Urd.

:3

I think it is a picture of evil Peach

>>4842

I just hope it doesn't turn into an outright comedy, cause it needs something a little more serious every now and then, plus i hope Marller doesn't end up like what she is in the anime >:|

>>4705

Yeah but she wasn't involved in the series where Belldandy and Urd get abused by that group of boys

>>4708

Yeah, I thought that was a bit odd. Considering that Sentaro got involved, and they showed her down on Earth in the final book (Unless that was a flashback, to show how things have changed).

So this one is after the Salem story right ?

I have a friend of mine searching for it right now.

It's doubtful that the 'pre-Salem' edition was the last in that particular story. Ending the story arc then would leave too many loose ends and the whole thing completely unresolved generally. In my mind this current Salem part is a 'flash-back' mini-arc, building up to some kind of definitive ending. Seeing as the house has paper walls, Skuld must either be turning a blind eye to an awful lot or spending a lot of time out with freinds.

>>4718

Well, it was stated in one of the earlier books that Urd and Skuld were up in Heaven receiving training. Urd came down and that's how she got involved.

The only point in the entire series that Skuld made an appearance was in two pages during the sequence with the popsicles to show how Belldandy and Urd's relationship with the shopkeepers have changed. However no exact time was stated when that scene took place (It may have taken place several months back), so Skuld still may be in Heaven.

Let's hope that Skuld comes back, Sentaro confesses what he did with her sisters, and she and him team up to fix everything and save Urd and Belldandy! She killed the Ultimate Destruction Program once, she can do it again! :D

>>4720

More likely is she comes back and ends up joining her sisters, also where did Keiichi run off to?

>>4721

He's at some job training thing, specifics were never really given.

>>4722

I have this nagging suspicion that Hild is going to snag him somewhere, as he must know on some level what is happening. (in fact, when I first imagined it, I saw a cover somewhat like this)

Also, I think this is why nothing new or original is happening in AMG - Fukishima is fapping too much to Midgard.

>>4734

lol nah, the artwork in Midgard is no where near as good as Fujishima's work, especially the faces, he could draw better fap material for himself.

A friend of mine found this one in Japan for me for around 28.00..that sound about right ?

I'm also assuming the content is mostly Urd.. ;)

Here's three i've been looking for, for a while

some doginshis

ups...sorry, i foget post the link
http://www.divshare.com/download/5233287-f83

>>4742
There's a few new pages. Not too much, but not a waste of time.
>>4740
Post them please!

>>4749

I've seen a page or two of this one and it does feature both mother and daughter...but Hild stays in her young form from what I could tell.

>>4749

More Adult Skuld?

>>4765
is this Studio Wallaby's Niiduma-san?

it's very good for shareing
you are wonderful
