Summary: Big Story. it's so cool.
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: One of the best anime DVD's available!
Review: Being an anime fan and having owned only two anime DVDs, I decided to extend my collection, and ended up purchasing this DVD from amazon.com. I had watched and enjoyed the entire Ah My Goddess series at my University's anime club, so when I learned it had a movie, I just had to check it out.

My reaction . . .

Wow. I agree with the other reviewers, this is a great anime movie -- one of the best, in my opinion. The storyline wonderfully intertwines romance, drama, action, and comedy. The animation is gorgeous -- even the obligatory CGI sequences used in all modern anime movies blends in very well here. And the movie actually lasts much longer than one-hour, a place where few anime movies dare to tread!

But the DVD itself is what really makes this a must-buy. If this was released by a major Hollywood studio, it would be called a "Collector's Edition." Two things that Amazon surprisingly does not advertise is that the DVD comes in a stunning holographic cardboard sleeve (similar to the Moulin Rouge one) and also includes a limited-edition pencil board -- which I still don't know what is used for. :) And I love how the plastic keepcase is transparent, a refreshing change from all the black cases I own.

The widescreen video transfer is flawless without artifacts. As for audio, the Dolby 5.1 track is the best I've heard in a long time, with every channel guaranteed to be utilized during the battle scenes! Of course, for anime purists like myself, it's great to have the original Japanese 5.1 track as an alternative to the English one.

The menus are very attractive, with a combination of vivid pictures, animation, and sound and music. Plus, the transitions from one menu to another are well-done, yet still fast enough so as not to be annoying. Finally, the extras are impressive: an art gallery, five Japanese trailers, and the short but hillarious Episode 1 of the upcoming "Mini-Goddess" series. Perfect Blue is the only anime DVD I've seen that surpasses this in extras -- but that one didn't come with a pencil board! :)

The only problems one might have with the movie is the storyline. The ending does leave several loose ends. And if you haven't seen the series, you may find the story confusing at first (although the DVD insert does provide some information on the main characters). Finally, if you haven't enjoyed magical girl anime in the past (Sailor Moon, Card Captors, etc.) and go for more serious fare, this might not be for you. Evangelion it ain't.

Otherwise, with beautiful packaging, an engaging story, bright animation, superb video and audio, many extras, and a reasonable pricetag, the Ah My Goddess movie is an impressive DVD that'll make the perfect addition to any anime fan's collection.

Oh, and don't forget the pencil board!

Summary: Beautifully done
Review: Not only is "Ah! My Goddess!" one of the most beautiful anime movies I have seen, but it has an amazing soundtrack. As a matter of fact, thats why I'm on amazon today, to get the soundtrack! (^.^) the movie has many twists and turns that keep you watching, and also has many beautiful scenes (i love the way they do the trees and the angels!) I was suprised to find out that the amazing composer of many of the Final Fantasy games, and the god of everything (tee hee), Nobuo Uematsu, helped write the score to "Ah! My Goddess!" This only intrigued me to watch it even more. I am extremely happy to own this beautiful movie and I can only hope that you make the right decision and buy this! :)

Summary: Really great love story
Review: I just wanted to say that this movie really moved me and kept me on the edge of my seat to see how things would turn out. The art of this movie is stunning to say the least. I was surprised to find that it was all right to see the movie without any prior knowledge of what has happened before this. This movie was a good love story that drew me to the characters and made me feel their emotions. The english Dub was done rather well. I prefer Dubs because it does not interfere with the viewing enjoyment. The Japanese voices were good but I really enjoyed the Dub. The movie really looks good on the technical aspect of things. Top of the line. Pioneer really does a good job with their releases and this disc is no exemption with the sheer quality of the Video. The keepcase is clear with an almost holographic cardboard slipcase cover that goes over it and shimmers with diferent colors. This really goes well with the imagery and idea that the people in the show are special. The cover is of the main Goddess Beldandy with the inside cover being reversible in a way. The inside has a nice plastic card that I thought was a nice bonus that added to the quality of this release The liner notes/ inside jacket is really well done with some character bios. The whole release is just stunning.... My hats off and many thanks to Pioneer for such a great release. For other discs with a love story in a fashion like this would be Tenchi Forever and Kimagure Orange Road: Summer's Begining. Those were two discs that I highly enjoyed that are similar to this in high emotion and great animation (art). If you had hesitated to buy this release like I had because you had not seen the shows leading up to this. Don't wait..... The story can be enjoyed without having prior knowledge of the events that had led up to this.

Summary: A "Must-Have" DVD Movie!!
Review: This is one anime movie that will surely grab your attention! The animation is crisp and stunning and the visuals are breathtaking! This is a story about true endurance of love and the struggle for control between Heaven and Earth. Fans of "Oh! My Goddess" should definitely add this to their collection. The story is strong and character development is good. The sudden twist toward the end will take you to the edge of your seat . This is a movie that all viewers can enjoy! It's a must to have for your anime library!

Summary: Beautiful, masterful anime classic. A Must See
Review: I have never seen Ah! My Goddess before. I borrowed this DVD from a friend, and just watched it this Sunday afternoon. Basically, this is one of the most beautiful anime movies EVER created. It is different from your usual style of anime, but will touch you in a completely different way. The pictures are gorgeous, so were the music and the storyline was top notch. This movie has just become my all time favorite movie ever. Everyone owe themselves 106 mins and see this masterpiece.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Divine Animation
Review: Sure it helps if you've watched the OMG cartoon or read the comic, but the characters are written and drawn so fantastically that you can watch it without an in-depth background... but it does help :)

But for the fans who haven't seen it...definitely treat yourself to this now!!

New characters, old characters, those who haven't appeared in the five previous animated episodes... you even get to see Peorth (minus her French accent), and each of the Goddesses using their angels!

And then there's the episode of the Mini-Goddesses. Slightly bizarre, but very entertaining... I can't wait to see more next year!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Super, just super
Review: I can't say enough about this movie. I love this show and I love this movie also. Maybe I'm brainwashed or something and am biased as a reviewer, but I love it anyway! The plot I have to say is a bit confusing if you havn't been keeping up with the story on your own. I mean it doesn't explain a lot of basics in the movie, so unless your a fan like me and keep up, maybe you should watch/read the other available things first. Or if you can't do that at least read up it throughly on the web before watching it, just to make sure you get the whole picture.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Beautiful!!!
Review: I couldn't wait until this movie was actually available in the US. The animation is beautiful and so is the soundtrack. I agree that if you have seen the OVA's and read the Dark Horse comics, you will know the backgrounds of the characters better. But even if you haven't it is still an awesome movie.
There is action, a love story, beautiful animation, good music, a little bit of comedy.
I highly recommend this movie.
