Summary: strange...
Review: this movie is one of those movies that you have to sit and think about for a little while,while the animation is stupendous and the charachters are so lovable it is a brain jerker. I would reccommend it to anyone over 13.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No experience with OMG required, movie still great!
Review: I've no experience with the Oh! My Goddess series, except for drawings some fans sent me. The art on the package was enough to sway me to buying the movie, and it's a purchase that I don't regret. The story was easy to follow and kept me interested the entire time. The animation is top notch, and the sound is great. There are moments where the amdient sounds seem to drown the dialog, but that is likely a problem with my system and not the DVD. If you're of fan of extras, the stills in the gallery are awesome, and the pencil board is kewl. I'd say this is a must for any anime collection.

Rating: 4 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shojo to Shounen
Review: Although in most cases it sounds like cheesy rambling and is even cliche, I must say that this movie covers a wide range of mediums, and does it very well.

With regard to characters, you simply can't get better than AMG. All of the characters are deeply developed (and believe me, you'll like Urd even more after this movie). As a side note, Peorth has changed roles to become a sysadmin of heaven and Skuld is "grown up" (meaning that she has honed her goddess powers to the point of being able to fly, use her angel, etc.). There are no small characters, either (well, except MAYBE the humans, of course ~_^)

Shojo is arguably the movie's stong point. I'm not one for Shojo, but fortunately for me the Shojo was not too cheesy (<gasp!> Shojo that's not cheesy? Is that possible?) and it was blended well with some action. It's also integral to the plot.

Shounen seems like it might be in the movie just to keep you watching, but it really isn't. I don't want to spoil it for you, but there are plenty of excellent action scenes and some of the animations (transformations, appearances, flashbacks) that are more Shounen-ish are as crisp and detailed as anyone could ask for.

The ONLY thing I dislike about the movie is that it's cut. The original version was 3+ hours and they had to cut a lot. But hey, there's always a chance that they'll release it in the future in full. ^_^

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great from beginning to end
Review: I have been a fan of Oh My Goddess for quite awhile and to say the least this movie was all I expected it to be. Beautiful animation and a good story line. I was glad to see Peorth added in to the plot even though she has a different role than in the manga. The animation was crisp and the english dubbed voices were very good. Buy it and you will not be dissappointed.

Summary: No te la puedes perder.
Review: I'm goning to write in my language: ¿Saben cuál es la principal razón por la que la compre?, primeramente fue verla a la venta en DVD, segundo soy un seguidor de la serie Oh! Mi diosa y tercero, que padres dibujos. A BellDandy la dibujaron excelente, no me gusto mucho como dibujaron a Morisato pero su caracter es casi identico como en el comic, a Urd creo que le falto que la pusieran a trabajar un poco en su Hobbie que es crear pociones para el amor (yo pregunto, ¿por que le gusta tanto eso y no tiene novio?) y a Skuld le falto un poco de que apareciera un poco mas ayudando a las diosas. El final de la pelicula no das un ejemplo de que no hay que dudar uno con su pareja, siempre quererla y no hacer mensadas como las de hoy en dia. Belldandy es una muestra de la mujer ideal, lastima que no existe hoy en dia, solamente hay rastros de su persona como la amabilidad, la ternura, entre otras. Bueno, este es mi review espero que les guste.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Most Beautiful Goddess Story Ever Told
Review: This is so cool! Starring with all these problems going around Belldandy, The motor race, belldandy's mentor and loads more!. The pictures are beautiful. I, myself, is a total anime fan. I think this is one of Anime's best movie. (Considering that it has a good plot and pretty drawings. hehe, ^_^)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great moive
Review: This is a great movie but you really have to watch the 5 episodes to fully understand and enjoy this anime

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Words For the Day - Misdail you telephone numbers frequently
Review: Three goddesses, motorcycles, Heaven as a computer network, demons, and one boy with it all around him. Where else but Ah! My Goddess!?

Ah! My Goddess the movie focuses on Celestine, a god whom after being released by faeiry princess Morgan Le Faye from his Lunar prison, has rebelled against Yggdrasil and wants to end human suffering. To do this, he needs the power Belldandy holds within herself. He travels to Earth where he erases all the memory of Belldandy since she came to Earth... mainly all of her memories of Keiichi!

This is a great title from Pioneer/AIC. It helps to have watched the original AnimEigo OVA series before seeing the movie or at least having some background from the manga series (for instance, the movie carries a few references that are not explained in the OVAs). This is somewhat supposed to be a 'stand-alone' movie, but the complexity of the series deems it otherwise. The movie also carries many symbolic symbols that Ah! My Goddess fans should recognize immediately, some I can't list because that would be a spoiler ^_^.

Being a fan of old-school anime, I'm not really in computer graphic (CG) animation, but the CG used in the Ah! My Goddess movie is done real well and the overall animation is quit nice. If you've watch the third Tenchi Muyo movie, the characters look very similar in animation style to them (no surprize as the animation company behind AMG the movie is the same that did the Tenchi Muyo animation, AIC.)

Voiceovers are also done great, including the dubbed voices which reflect their OVA counterparts well, except Skuld who now sounds like Sasami from Tenchi Muyo and Keiichi's voice is considerably different. Sound effects and the soundtrack is equally impressive and enjoyable.

The first episode of The Adventures of Mini-Goddess side-story is cute and enjoyable, but a little too short. It provides us with a look of the series that will be released by Pioneer soon.

Be aware also Kei/Bell fans that this movie goes into their relationship more than the OVAs ever did. It actually gets a little disturbing at times and then becomes quite lovely again. Also the humor found in the OVAs are nowhere to be found here. The movie is quite serious with only little humor here and there.

Overall, I say this is a fabulous anime title as is the series itself. If you haven't bought this title yet, do it now! You'll enjoy it.
