The Cat Knows Where It's At
So here's a discussion that should have happened forever ago: The title of the series. Right now, Manga.Oh My Goddess isn't even a redirect. This is despite that fact that Word of God states that "Oh My Goddess" is closer to what he intended
(The Other Wiki has multiple reliable sources on this one). It's also the title of the official English release by Dark Horse Comics and I do believe we usually use the official English titles and names if available.
Also, "Ah! My Goddess" makes no sense no matter how you look at it while "Oh My Goddess!" is a play on words and the Japanese love those.
This is like when people are translating lyrics for Japanese songs into English and the singer says "wow" which they pronounce as "whoa" and yet the "translation" leaves it as "wow" despite it having a completely different pronunciation in English. This isn't exactly what's going on here but it's close enough.

Well, take note that according to Wikipedia, both variations are used in official releases (that is, some use one while others use the other), and while the author himself did note that "Oh My Goddess" is indeed closer to what he meant, he also "acknowledged that the title should be rendered so as to make sense within the country that it is published, and specifically stated that films may warrant different titles than other works", while also preferring "to see consistency between the titles of the manga and those of the animations".

I read that but we're talking about English here and "Oh My Goddess" makes infinitely more sense than "Ah! My Goddess".

No, the other one.
You basically just want to change the name to suit your preference, and twist the facts to suit your needs. Neither is more official than the other.

We can all agree that Main.Oh My Goddess and Manga.Oh My Goddess deserves to be made into redirects at the very least, right?

No, the other one.
Redirects Are Free applies here, I believe. For Manga, not Main.

I'll be fine with at least a redirect.

When is Belldandy going to wear Victorian-style boots again? They suit her very well. :)
I like to keep my audience riveted.

What Victorian-style boots?

I don't remember which issue it was (>.< ^_^;;), but she had a pair like that once. She looked very nice in them. :)

Sorcerer in training
On Public Domain Artifact, under "Mjöllnir, Gungnir and other weapons", the Ah! My Goddess entry is a ZCE.
I've read some of the manga years ago, but I can't think of any examples to put there. Could someone here help?

According to the Oh My Goddess wikia Gungnir was used by Peorth in one of the movies but I haven't seen it myself so I can't help much more than that.

Bump. I decided to watch the TV anime again. It's still as good as I remember. 
There's one thing I didn't quite remember from the first time, though. ^_^;; It feels like the college Keichii (and then Belldandy) goes to has a bit of a vibe of College Is "High School, Part 2".

Bond Creatures and Synchronization tend to go hand-in-hand, I think.
