Description:

Some of the stories in the final collection of this Oh My Goddess spinoff have clever premises, but they fail to pay off. "Gan-Chan the Locomotive" begins with a funny spoof of Galaxy Express 999, featuring Gan-Chan as Tetsuro and Belldandy as Maetel in a blue shako. Instead of continuing the spoof, the filmmakers switch to a weird variation on Starlight Express, with the characters as locomotives. When Urd, Skuld, Belldandy, and Gan-Chan find themselves on camera without a script in "This Happens Once in a While," they try to put together a sci-fi romance, "Space Cruiser Uzushino," which satirizes the anime space operas of the Star Blazers era, but it doesn't go anywhere. The characters discuss possible future activities in "What'll Happen Next?" and end the series on a typically chaotic note. Rated 13 Up, but appropriate for children a few years younger: minor slapstick violence, brief nudity. --Charles Solomon
