Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ah! My goddess is based on the longest-running manga ever to be published in English. This season picks up where the first season leaves off. Keichi and Belldandy are still living at the abandonded temple with Belldandy's sisters Urd and Skuld. And the romance between Keichi, an average college student, and Belldandy, a goddess, is still going strong. This season introduces a fourth goddess named Peorth, who does a good job of shaking things up a bit. The story is of the same high-caliber as the first season and Ah! My Goddess continues to be one of the most emotionally rewarding anime around, exploring the whole range of emotion. The animation is brilliant and fluid and ranks among the best TV animation. The focus, of course, is on the characters. From the kind-hearted Belldandy to the child-like Skuld to the more seductive Urd and Peorth. There are some suspensful episodes in this season, but it is emoitional suspense rather than physical peril. If you are an anime fan, then this series is an essential part of your collection. If you are not an anime fan, I'd still recommend watching this series because it is so outstanding. The only problem is that the English dub just does not measure up to the original Japanese version (as is always the case with dubs), so when you watch these DVDs make sure you set it up for Japanese dialogue and English subtitles. The original Japanese version features Kikuko Inoue, one of anime's finest voive actors, as Belldandy. Her Belldandy is perfect.
