Lacayo's Goddess and the Flashbacks.

Its the first week of school. I'm sitting in my room wondering what the heck my mailing address is. Wanting to buy the Samurai from Outer Space, I fumble across the boatloads of paper i have in several different bags and finally decide to ask if anyone has the book in the infamous class of 2012 facebook group. Luckily, Nia here was nice enough to lend it to me, after thinking I may have been a creepy psycho....but I digress as i always do.

As I read SOS I kept running across Ah! My Goddess, it kept being mentioned and there were even pictures in the books! I had to figure out what in the world this anime was. Since at the beginning of the  year we didn't have as much homework and I was fairly more responsible...and I didn't have as many friends...I ended up in my room at 9pm every night watching Ah! My Goddess. I was hooked!! The characters are hilarious and well drawn, the dub was actually pretty good and the soundtrack.....I loved it.

I love the opening song. Its very relaxing.


Sadly, I was only able to watch about 10 episodes before the beauty of college stress and procrastination kicked in....

A whole semester later I'm watching the movie and, for someone who saw 40% of the series I was initially confused. I guess that's because the movie is the ENDING of the entire series. So thanks for the spoiler Professor :) 

This was my wallpaper for
the longest time
Now, forgetting the fact that a great anime was spoiled for me. I must say the movie was really nice, I liked the way it played out but i wish they could have explained some things a little bit more, especially for those who have not even heard of Ah! My Goddess and needed some sort of intro. Oh well..

Something I kept thinking about while watching the movie was the idea of the end justifying the means. is it right? Does the end really justify the means to doing something. Are you willing to kill if its going to make things better? are you willing to destroy an entire planet full of people for the happiness of one goddess?


What drives us to do the things that we do? And could we find ways that avoid conflict?
I just kept thinking, Celestine wanted Belldandy to be happy, he wanted her to not suffer when she passed the gate, just like Morgan did.

Which reminds me....Keiichi! That guy is an intergalactic whore!! I could not believe that he did that to Morgan! or wait...was it really Morgan? Plothole?

I'm tired and i need my sleep anyhow. but yea something to think about!
