Slow, yes.  Suck, no.

She plays a part, but I don't think that's the main reason.  Actually, I
think K1 and Bell respect each other's privacy almost to a fault.  And
that is the biggest stepping stone I think they need to get over.

Personally I don't think so.

Yeah, I'd have to go with that.

Right.  Banpei is actually the star of AMG ^_^

Yep.  With a big wedding!  You know that's what you want to see...

Hmmm... maybe.

No!  Not Aoshima!  It's Tamiya that deserves that title! ^_~

> 9. Troubadour; he sure does suck!

No, he sucks much worse than that.

> 10. Goddesses cannot die.

Of old age, maybe not.  But I'm sure they can die of other causes, like
sickness or getting killed.  Why else would the Doublet System have been
invented if they couldn't be killed in the first place?  (Also would make
sense for them not to be able to die of old age, given the way the system
works.)

Lina Inverse ^_~

No, the Lord of Terror lives inside of Mr. Rat. (Gen / Gan / Mitsuo Iwata
/ whatever he calls himself) and makes Mini-Urd's life hell ^_^

> 13. Adventures of the Mini Goddesses; it sure does suck!

Not enough Bell-chan!
 
> 14. AMS is entirely derived from Norse mythology.

Names, yes.  That's about it.

Looking at other names in the series, I guess you could say that it is
also derived from hobby companies (Hasegawa, Tamiya, etc.)
