[fanart] Is that an eldritch abomination behind your back, or are you just happy to see me?
I picked up Ah! My Goddess (the anime) recently because I wanted something brainless to watch while doing something else, and also because the characters are pretty. It's somewhere between a harem show and a magical girlfriend show, neither of which are my thing, but it's also an older show and so not infected by the moe disease, and all in all it's mostly quite sweet-natured. Belldandy is lovely, Keiichi is a decent dude, I love the little one-off episodes about things like Skuld learning to ride a bicycle.
And then of course, then there are Urd and Marller, and they're both hilarious and I kinda ship the fuck out of 'em. It's not like this series is the most friendly to ladyslash in the world, buuuuut I still think this is pretty easy to see. (Marller in particular suffers from what I can only call Orochimaru-like habits, specifically around other ladies--yes, yes, in a fantasy series, looming over someone and shouting "I want your body!" does not necessarily mean what it usually would mean, buuut...)
Oh, also. This is cross-posted at DW, at false_maria (Different username, for once! Fuck yeah, Metropolis.) Figure I ought to start using the DW, which I picked up a while back because, hey, a new platform, a new chance to pick up a username someone else would probably have taken already on LJ.
