Summary: A Beautiful Movie!!
Review: Well to start off with I thought this movie was excellent!! If you have not read the manga or seen the OVA thats ok.I watched this movie with only a little bit of knowlege of what its about.
But I do recommend that you find about a little bit about it or you may get a little confused of how Belldandy and Keichi meet.
Even without seeing the OVA or manga you can still enjoy this great movie like I did.

The main plot is there is a fairy princess named Morgan Le Fay.
She had released a crimnal who is a god named Celestine. Not too long after that Celestine infects Belldandy with a virus that affects all of heaven and later earth. Morgan stays on earth as a student at Neckomi Tech the college Keichi goes to and watches them. The virus affects Belldandy in a way that she only loses her memory of Keichi. I think I will stop here so I don't spoil the movie for you. You will just have to see the movie yourself and you won't regret it.

The animation is really nice only cause its a theatcal release. But the character designs are different of that of the OVA and Manga. Pioneer did great with this DVD. The extras include the first episode of the Adventures of the Mini Goddesses which if you don't understand alot of japanese humar and culture you may not like it or understand it. Then you have some artwork like with most DVDs and some original japanese trailers. In all this is a great movie and one to keep if your a fan of Oh My Goddess or looking at it to see if its for you. It is a great place to join in the fun!!

Summary: Good but not Great
Review: The DVD is totally different from the Series OAV set. Still it is a good anime but it lacks the comedy and the attractions of the original story. This DVD focus on a disruption in the life of Belldandy and Keiishi that will further strengthen their love for one another.I find it interesting with all the actions and good animations, but it was boring with all the cliche themes and repititions. Overall it is a good movie for your anime collections. Enjoy.

Summary: Beautiful Film
Review: I bought the Ah! My Goddess movie about a year and a half ago from Amazon.com, and I thought it was wonderful. I first watched it on a late night and I was little tired after it. It can be confusing at times, because the storyline is so complex, but after you watch it a few more times it should all come together. As for the animation, it's top notch. Beautiful work, the stand-out scene for me is when the goddesses sing with their angels at the end of the film. You shouldn't be disappointed, especially if you are an AMG fan!

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!

Summary: wow!
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! Megami-Sama/Oh! My Goddess! - Light Version
Review: It's like watching "Oh! My Godess!" the series... only with much less character development, humour, story line and, well, original drawing.

Not only does it look like the entire movie was done by the teám who did "Tenchi Muyo!" (maybe they DID do it?), but Keichii looks almost identical to Tenchi Muyo! Plus Celestin's little "pin-version", it looks just like that enemy guy from "Tenchi Muyo The Movie"!

Also, the movie lacks the humour that the show had. It's all about drama and soap-opera-ish drama now, what with the new girl trying to seduce Keichii and all. Plus, the final battle to save Yggdrasil was a bit weird. Saving the world through singing?

This is like some kind of light version of the tv-series. And it's made for those younger than those who watched the series. And why are all of the angel-versions of the goddesses blonde?!?!?!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Safe Bet
Review: Buying anime is often a [...], but every once in a while one can find a safe bet. Unless you are drawn exclusively to "blood-and-thunder" style anime, Aah! My Goddess: The Movie is a safe bet (Yes, both blood and thunder are both literally present in the movie, but it's fundamentally a romance story written on a larger-than-life scale).
A blend of hand-drawn and computer animation are used to create the movie's more gripping visual effects, which are supported by an excellent soundtrack. My only complaint would be that the hackneyed humanistic themes can be a bit cloying. The main complaint among AMG fans is that the story is a bit more serious and melancholy than the average fare, but this is completely washed away by the inevitable Happy Ending to every Keichi and Belldandy story: Keichi and Belldandy emerge from their ordeal with an even stronger love than they had before. Additionally, a dose of the light-hearted silliness AMG has to offer can be found in the "Adventures of the Mini-Goddesses" bonus feature episode on the DVD.
While familiarity with the AMG characters and background story will certainly help, it's not absolutely necessary to enjoy this movie on a variety of levels.
I would always recommend you borrow, rent, or otherwise view the movie in question whenever possible before making a DVD purchase, but if you have to take a chance (as I did), stick with a safe bet.

Summary: Oh! My Goddess
Review: This movie is some of Fujishima's best work. The artwork is beautifully drawn. The background and characters are soothing just to look at. This movie also gives you more backgound information of Belldandy growing up in heaven. Unlike the OAV's(5 episodes), the movie is more serious yet still romantic. The plot really draws you into the movie and you will probably find yourself, in tense moments, jump up in excitment or hold your breath in disbelief and Keiichi and Belldandy's love is put to the ultimate test. I must say that this is by far my favorite anime series of all time. For all those other OMG fans, whether you have read the mangas, seen the episodes, or never seen OMG before, this is a MUST HAVE. I GUARANTEE you will love it.

Rating: 5 stars
