Summary: Ah Megami-sama!
Review: Featuring the best works of Kosuke Fujishima who's also known for his works on "You're under Arrest" and the character designs for "Sakura Taisen" Ah Megami-sama definitely delivers the story, the art and drama of the two loved couples... Keiichi and Belldandy once again! If you've seen Oh my Goddess! the OAVs ( Original Animation Videos ) You'll understand a lot of what's already happened and the movie goes beyond that... featuring lovely voice acting in both English Dub and the original voice actors of the Japanese... this DvD delivers the best of both worlds to view this movie. If you've also followed the Mangas this movie introduces a fourth goddess her name is Peorth! She plays a strange role in the movie compared to what she is in the Manga... but thankfully they've added her into it... considering all 3 of the Goddesses are mentioned... Peorth has to be added to make the picture complete. Favorite scenes are definitely a musical score within the movie... look forward to it and you'll fall in love with her magical seductive musical talent when she sings!

Summary: This brought me right back in...
Review: I haven't seen Oh My Goddess in atleast 5 years, and then it was a fan sub, I enjoyed the OAVs a lot then, but never bothered to get good quality copies.

I bought this DVD on a whim one day when it caught my eye. I am so happy that I did. This is one of the best anime movies i have seen in a long long time. It is beautifully drawn, the packaging is great, and has more extras then on most anime dvds. It is definitely one of the best quality anime dvds i own.After watching this i rushed out and bought the OAVs on DVD. Now I am debating on getting all the manga too. This movie totally sucked me back in to the series.

I dont think you need to have watched the OAVs before watching this movie, I mean I knew the basic idea of how Belldandy and her sisters came to be in Keiichi's life, from what I remembered of the original OAV. Of course it always helps to fully know the background story.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Slowly paced, needed cultural context.
Review: I think Amazon reviewers are far too generous in their 5-Star reviews. That should be reserved for all time classics like Neon Genesis Evangelion.

The main problem with Ah! My Goddess is the main character, Belldandy, is hard to like (besides having a silly name). She's absolutely perfect and subservient in every possible way. She's too syrupy sweet and meek to build a show around. I'm just not a big fan of romance anime -- with its ankle-length ponytails, 3 foot-long bangs that defy gravity and poofy gowns.

And I'm unfamiliar of the Japanese concept of Heaven, but this show mixes witchcraft, magic, Norse mythology, computer technology and the tradtional Christian belief of Angels. It's never explained why/how each "goddess" has an Angel alter-ego growing out of her back. However, the concept of a technologically driven Heaven is rather interesting (it looks like the White Room from Matrix Reloaded). But this movie is also loaded with a lot of Star Trek Voyager type technobabble. "The LMT is down to 12%!!!"
The last third of the movie is where the real action is and it's stunning to watch -- a real end-of-the-world battle. Action fans should skip ahead or risk being bored to tears. But I found the romance to be trite, teenage, and treacly.

Summary: Great anime film!!
Review: I just caught and taped this movie the other day on the International Channel. The animation was great, and the voice acting was perfect. Also, CELESTINE WAS HOT!!!!!!!!!

Summary: For a Good Time, Dial 1-555-GODDESS!
Review: What can I say about Ah! My Goddess! the movie?
The art is simply beautiful. There's no other way to put it. And the music is soft and glorious.
When Belldandy's old mentor, Celestine, escapes captivity for a sin he committed long ago, he erases his former pupil's memory as part of a cunning scheme to overthrow Heaven once and for all.
Belldandy's love, Keiichi, and her sisters, Urd and Skuld, set out to try to recover her memory, using Belldandy's love for Keiichi to try to reawaken her sleeping memories. But what they don't know, is that that was precisely what Celestine was counting on.
And we learn, as events progress, that Celestine's war against Heaven grew, not out of a desire for personal power, but instead, from a need to protect the innocence of Belldandy from the harsh cruelty in the world.
A moving story with colorful characters, and a great date film.

And then there's the delicious bonus of the Adventures of the Mini-Goddess! Watch as Goddess of Love, Urd, tries to play matchmaker to a hapless rat named Gan.

The English dub for this one is actually pretty good. Familiar voices from such series as Robotech and Cowboy Bebop can be heard very prominently, especially in Keiichi and Celestine.

A great DVD with beautiful cel and CGI art. The slip cover for the box is gorgeous, as well.

A must have.

Summary: Excellent movie for follow up to a great anime series
Review: I had recently viewed the Region 2 subtitled version of this movie. Since Oh My Goddess is my favorite anime series, I'm really glad that Pioneer Animation released this DVD for the US. Pioneer has done a wonderful job with this release with not only the packaging, but the content of the disc as well. The first episode of Adventures of Mini-Goddess is a great sneak peek of more to come of this series to be released. This movie will attract current fans of the series, as well as newcomers. Newcomers should also watch the OAV Series released by Animeigo to understand the background and the story of the characters. The movie picks up 3 years after the arrival of the goddess Belldandy into the life of college student Keiichi Morisato, in which he had wished for her to be his girlfriend forever. Now, their love for each other is put to the test as a part of Belldandy's past returns and threatens our reality. The OAV series itself was sweet and romantic, with the movie emphasizing the true love between Belldandy and Keiichi. If you have not seen this series at all, this is a definite recommendation to make. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Beautiful!
Review: Gorgeous animation, heartwarming and exciting story, terrific characters, and magnificent voice acting equals a great anime movie!! Yay! Normally I find Anime movies unsatisfying, but this one was truly beautiful. It had everything I wanted: all of the above already mentioned. I really fell in love with the characters. They're just so, pure (well most of them anyway), and they're people you can really admire because they're so unselfish and loving. Belldandy's such a great character, and I like how she's so innocent and no one can corrupt her, even if they try. Though she really has a lot of wisdom too. The movie does a good job of giving equal time to the characters, and allows them to reveal their true selves.

The animation is of highest quality, and really does equal the manga in detail and style. And it's in glorious color. The characters are all so cool! Keichii is such a decent guy, Belldandy is truly a goddess, Urd oozes sex appeal, Skuld is innocently funny, and you even feel sorry for the "bad" guys. This is really a feel-good movie. Everybody cares about each other and love is a real big theme. I love it. It's my only Anime movie DVD, actually - because it deserves to be bought and watched on DVD. Don't dare watch it with worse quality than VHS. I mean it. You'll lose too much.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It was great
Review: I bought this on an impluse. I had read that it was good through a review. I was a great movie. It made me want to go buy the series. You don't have to see the series to understand the movie, but it might explain more. I would tell anyone that likes anime to get this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
