The Adventures of the Mini Goddess - The Gan-Chan Files (Vol. 1)

Summary: Cuteness overload!
Review: The Adventures of Mini-Goddess is a collection of vignettes which show the daily antics of super-deformed Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld. The way I understand it, the events in this anime take place in the premises of original OAV series. It's like what the goddeses do in their spare time. Most of the eps feature Urd and Skuld, and a rat friend / sidekick they affectionately refer to as Gan-chan. I figure this is because Bel is always busy taking care of Keiichi and doing household chores in the OAV. She does appear in some of the eps though, but usually only for a few seconds. AMG eps are very brief and last less than 10 minutes. What do they do in these eps? Just about everything - from searching for treasure in the attic to making fun of Gan-chan. It's all very silly and shallow. The humor is generally weird, albeit at times admittedly funny. In the first ep, Urd poses as a fortune teller and tries to help Gan-chan with his lovelife. After a series of Urd's erratic love spells, Gan-chan ends up getting married to a tea kettle! The art and animation are quite good but cutesy in style, as this anime's theme seems to revolve on the cuteness quotient. You can actually watch this without previous Oh My Goddess background because the eps pretty much stand on their own. The songs and music are also pleasant and catchy, following the tradition of the original. To be honest, I'm quite neutral in my feelings about AMG. I'm not crazy about it but I don't despise it either. I've seen better and I've seen worse. AMG is simply a combination of brainless fun and a whole lot of cuteness. If too much cuteness makes you cringe however, I suggest you avoid this altogether.

Summary: Good clean fun!
Review: This DVD will not break in any new social thoughts or change how you think about the world. Rather, it will just simply make you laugh. As previously noted, the characters from the Oh My Goddess! anime series return in a mini form to have short adventures. Most are very humorous and off the wall. The dvd contains 12 of them so you are sure to find one you like. I highly recommend that anyone who is looking for light-hearted fun check this one out!

Summary: Best...anime...EVER!!!
Review: This is the cutest, funniest, most adorable thing you will probably ever see. I've had import VCD's of this for the past couple of years and have watched them over and over. I'm excited that it's now coming out with english subtitles so that I can fully appreciate some of the jokes. Even without the translations, the stories are so easy to follow that anyone can enjoy them. The goddesses and Gan-chan lampoon everything from Godzilla to Galaxy Express 999, and from the Wright Brothers to the first landing on the moon. What makes these stories so funny is that you can never tell how much is real and how much is just in the characters' imaginations. It's really the anime version of Muppet Babies, just done much, much better. If you like silly parody anime, you won't be disappointed in this.

Summary: Funny, Fun, & Fantastic
Review: This is the funniest little anime bits I've seen in a long time. I really laughed hard. While the animation is good and consistant, it's not amazing as some purists may want it. Being 'shorts' allows for funny genre parodies that would probably have failed if they were any longer. While these bits are part of the Ah! My Goddess universe, there really is no need to know anything about A!MG to watch. If you need some comic relief, pick up a copy of Mini Goddess. You'll find yourself, for the first time, feeling sorry for a rat.

Review: This is the weirdest thing ever. The 3 goddesses of the ah my goddess series use their powers to become small! They hang out with this talking rat and do stuff!! Its funny but weird as hell. To get a taste for it and to see if you want to continue watching, I would buy the Ah My Goddess movie dvd, which has the first episode of the mini goddess series.(in my opinion I actually thought mini goddess wasn't that funny and kinda dumb)
