| 'Tis true that it is not your usual anime. If it was, I doubt it would have lasted as long as it has. Kind of hard to believe that it is about as old as I am and still going strong. Love the series, not as much as someone else but... (>_>);
Seen/read it all, except for the Mini-Goddess series. Too omake-ish for me. Must say though, the first generation character design was hard to swallow. I actually had to double check that I had the right series because it was so different. This fourth generation design is quite beautiful. Just wish there were more chapters from it. (>_<)
But, about what you said about the Belldandy/Peorth relationship... They are friends, it is just that the relationship is kind of based on rivalry. There are several cases of this spread around in different animes, in similar forms. Not too mention, every time those two have a "confrontation", it is, in some way, beneficial to one or the other. If you will recall, the two main times they "went at it", it was to help progress the relationship between Keichi and Belldandy.
