Here is more ego stroaking material.

Although I enjoyed Mr. Ward's Aa! Megami-Sensi! story line
very much, I have to agree with the comments below.  While
the story was very well done, I think it would have been a
better series if fewer new characters had been introduced.

Of course, it does a *heck* of a lot of good to tell you 
that now that the series is completed.

"Aa!  Megami-Sensei!" by Peter Ward

Pretty good, but I'm not an Urd fan.  No major problems, and 
introduces new characters.  But it hasn't stuck in my mind.  @

        >To be truthful, this story line can do a lot better 
        if it didn't add so many new characters.  This is 
        not a slam at the author, Mr. Ward, just call it a 
        personal bias.  

        As far as Urd is concerned, her character is what 
        holds the story together.  I would like to see more
        interplay between her and Nabiki (kind of a battle 
        of wits between the two).  In addition, if Urd was 
        just being herself (the meddling 'Cupid of Love'), 
        this cross-over really take off.

        As far as the aliens are concerned, drop the 
        mechaniod, the mole character and their human side-
        kick, "Kraftwerk",(If I remember correctly).  They 
        don't add to the story.

        The concept has alot going for it. Moreover, it just 
        needs to stick closer to the two major character     
        worlds of 'Ah! Megami-sama' and 'Ranma 1/2'

        (anyway that's my two yen's worth)

"Moonlight and Cherry Pie" by White Wolf

Probably the best of the Ranma X-overs that I've read, this is 
basically a Ranma story with Skuld.  Lots of Akane cooking 
jokes.  Very funny.


        >Agree totally with you here, a funny story.  Well 
        written.
