It's unfortunate that they changed the personalities slightly for the TV series. 
For instance, TV Belldandy seems more clueless about relations between the genders
than she does in the manga (i.e. manga version needs to have human customs explained

to her; TV version might actually need to have the birds and the bees explained to
her...).  And while the manga still has the "why aren't they married with kids by
now!?" problem, the TV series actually seems to move the relationship along even more

slowly. 

I enjoyed the first season as a whole, but there were points when I just fast forwarded
through a scene.
