Summary: Incredible
Review: Greatest movie ever. period.
Many of those people who gave out the three stars either have no idea what theyre talking about or are N. Genesis Evan fans who once again have no idea what theyre talking about.
The story is excellent. The animation in excellent. Better than Princess Mononoke. The music is awesome, I bought the soundtrack, I suggest you do the same. The odd name Belldandy comes from a translation mix up starting with berudandi/verdandi.
The movie is pure genius. oh and for all the people who whine about belldandy being perfect: shes a goddess!!!!!! point made.
so what are you waiting for? Buy this movie.

Summary: The rating system on this one should be boxes of tissue.
Review: "Ah! My Goddess: The Movie" is a fine piece of work, directed by the same genius (Hiroaki Gooda) who brought us the original OAV series.
The movie is set after the events of the OAV's, and involves a "low-class" deity named Celestine who rebels against Heaven. His ultimate plan is to create a new "system" for the world to run on, in which everyone experiences happiness without suffering. It seems to be a good enough idea, except changing destiny and Heaven's plan for the people of Earth doesn't exactly find favor with the gods. Not only that, but he is actually using his top student, Belldandy, as his catalyst, which threatens her relationship with Keiichi, the love of her life. The story basically goes from there, combining deep elements of romance with intense action sequences in a splendid, heart-rending ballet as Bell's sisters, Keiichi, and Heaven itself try to put a stop to Celestine's plan.
It pays to know a little about the "Ah! My Goddess" universe before watching the movie, as elements from not just the OAV's, but the comics as well, make appearances in it. It doesn't take away from very much not to be familiar with them, but it does help with the enjoyment factor. Belldandy's third sister, Peorth, and the goddesses' angelic "helpers" make their animated debuts here, both of which first appeared in the comics. There's also an in-depth look at how Heaven operates in the "Goddess-verse"; I thought the idea of it being like a giant computer program was pretty neat, especially as Celestine's "system" infects it and the "virus" spreads. The story moves along at a fast enough pace to hold attention, and the action and intensity as everyone races against time and the system gives the heart rate a little boost. The most prolific moments in the movie, though, are the tender ones, as the power of love makes itself known. We're talking gushing, drippy, sappy kinds of moments rarely seen at this level in anime; they were prolific in the OAV's as well, and that kind of sentiment is basically the mainstay of this series. Yes, I'll admit, they even moved a guy like me. (But just a little!)
The animation is spectacular; I expected nothing less, and I wasn't a bit disappointed. The computer animation blends flawlessly with the hand-drawn, which can be tricky. The English dub is superb, drawing on veteran voice talents as well as Pioneer's own pool of vocal radiance. Bell's voice in English is as liquid-honey as the original Japanese, and the rest of the cast's voices matched the characters' personalities to a 'T'.
All told, this flick is an awesome visual and emotional feast that will likely satisfy anime, romance, and "Ah! My Goddess" fans for a while to come. (Although if you're turned off by "mushy stuff", this flick may not be for you.) The extras on the DVD are few, but treasures indeed; you get a free mini pencil board with the Special Edition, and "The Adventures of the Mini-Goddesses" sneak peek is hilarious and a hundred times cuter than the original series, but I think more kids than adults will enjoy that. Highly recommended!

Review: ... I was so happy when i got it so obviously i watched it. the animation is UNBELIevabLE! there are no mess ups and it makesme think how long the animators must've took. It's more of a movie of the manga rather than movie of the anime but it is by FAR better than the anime! It is well worth the price and the episode 1 of mini-goddess is great! with Art gallery extra's too which help if you're wishing to do a cosplay of one of the characters at an upcoming anime convention or something! Great DVd, Great animation, great storyline. What more could you need in a decent anime!

Summary: Ah My Goddess at its best!...
Review: A fantastic 'add-on' to my favorite anime series. Where do I begin..? The animation is fantastic, as usual, with the characters we're all familiar with from the original series. A perfect blend of action, romance and humor throughout the entire show. Excellent theme/story line....some great lessons about love and trust...Somewhat of a slow start, but very action-packed for the last 70 minutes or so! I love how they reveal the story little by little as the movie progresses...(if you're confused in the beginning, your questions will be answered later on)... Probably the ONLY con, and it's a minor one for me -- There are a few things that appear in the movie that must have been introduced in the manga (comics) series because I'm not familiar with Yggdrasil or even the goddess' angels. So, it took a little brainpower (at least for me), to fill in the missing pieces, but that's just an incentive to watch it again and again! Not sure if all DVD's are like this, but mine came with some artwork and one episode of the mini-goddess adventures. Some very cool extras! Highly recommended!

Review: about Story
by the way this story gone to far than i expect but forgot it i love this movie version. if u have ever seen this story in OVA version u will know that trailer not said a wrong words "One man and One Goddress, This love have a big problem wait for it". about Audio
this DVD have more cool audio quality than Escaflowne The Movie Limited DTS Edition. after i compare it at the HI-FI audio shop. they said Escaflowne(DTS) is much more Audio quality than all Movie that he watched but this story have audio quality more than it. about Stuff
i agree with cheesemon from Vancouver, BC Canada. This DVD should called "Collector's Edition". this dvd include beautiful 2 side pencil board, Charactor handbook, Cool Extra (include Gallery and All Trailer) and holographic cardboard sleeve. about Video
it's a bad part of this DVD for me. it's a format problem. although it's using 16:9 Anamorphic Video. but i'm very curious that Why all Anime DVD that release in Region Code 1 use Interlace Video Data? Why not using Progressive Video Data? it's more better picture. i will rate this product for 5 stars if it use.
... P.S.
did u agree with me? Movie version's work is much detial but OVA's drawing style is good looking more than Movie.

Summary: excellent movie that the kids will enjoy
Review: After hearing all the comments from both Amazon and from friends, I finally decided to give this a try, and my only disappointment is not getting this sooner. The animation is just beautiful. The integration of computer graphics and hand-drawn art is amazing. Everything was very detailed and I'm really glad this is the first movie played on my computer's DVD player. The storyline is basic cut and dry material; Good vs. Evil, Love and War, etc. I think the 13 and up suggestion on the box is a little steep. There is no real reason for the 13-year-old age limit, because there is no nudity or language that would cause it. And the BASIC story line can be followed easily, and I have not seen the TV series. But as good as this movie was, I probably will be very soon. If you like anime, your collection isn't complete until you get this movie. The lack of action, violence, and "fan service" (i.e. nudity) is a welcomed change that cannot and should not be missed.

Summary: One of the best stories you'll ever see
Review: Ah my Goddess the Movie was a surprise when I first saw it. I did not really know much about the megami-sama universe when I first got it. I did read the 555-goddess graphic novel and I thought the characters were very interesting. This movie is wonderful from beginning to end. I have since purchased most of the graphic novels and the OAVs. The movie is truer to the comic than the OAVs. The animation, backgrounds, and character design is flawless. The music is moving, well deserved for gods and goddesses. My girlfriend was also watching this movie for the first time and loved it. But she complained on how it got a little technical in the end. It did not really bother me since I was engrossed with the story. I would like to recommend for people to get a background on the Ah my goddess universe first (by getting the OAV, reading some of the comic, or surfing the net) before seeing this movie. I'll bet you'll appreciate it even more.

Summary: A great movie!
Review: Ah! My Goddess! is an excellent movie. If you're a fan of the Oh! My Goddess! OAV series, this is a must see. It doesn't even matter if you never have seen the OAV series either. I haven't seen the series, but I still loved the movie. And, living up to the Pioneer tradition, the DVD makes the already beautiful animation even better.
