Editorial Review:
Kosuke Fujishima's delightful Oh My Goddess! began as a manga in 1988 and was made into a five-part OAV in 1993-94. Fujishima used bits of Western mythology for his offbeat romantic comedy: the three sister-goddesses are based on the Norns, the Fates in Scandinavian legends. Keiichi Morisato is a familiar anime type: a short, skinny nerd at the bottom of the pecking order. One afternoon, while he's stuck in his dorm taking phone messages for his older classmates and trying to order lunch, the lovely Belldandy appears and declares she is a goddess who will grant him one wish. Convinced she's part of an elaborate prank, Keiichi asks her to become his girlfriend forever--and is dumbfounded when she grants his wish. Her presence gets him kicked out of the all-male dorm, so they set up housekeeping in an abandoned temple. What should be an idyllic existence is soon complicated by the arrival of Megumi, Keiichi's kid sister; Urd, Belldandy's voluptuous older sister; and Skuld, her sulky younger sister. But despite the contretemps, the bond between Keiichi and Belldandy only grows stronger. Keiichi, like Tenchi or Akito in Nadesico, is initially unprepossessing, but his maladroit exterior conceals a genuinely kind heart. Perhaps because she's a real goddess, rather than a magical girl, Belldandy never whines or grows smarmy; she remains a warm, gentle presence. Voice actors Scott Simpson and Juliet Cesario offer sensitive performances that add to the series' charm and good-natured comedy. Unrated; suitable for ages 12 and up for minor nudity and occasional risqué humor. --Charles Solomon

Rating:  - I fun series to watch.
Unlike most people it seems I found about the OVA series after I watched the 2 tv seasons. I do wish it had a few more episodes. It may say more to my hearing but the voice for belldandy sounds alot like the one from the TV series but I think the actress that did it in this series does the voice for Peorth in the TV series.
This is the OVA series when I first found it I was not sure if it was the first tv season in a different box since I came to the series late. I also felt the reason ... Read More
Rating:  - A good OVA series, disappointed in the special features
This three-disc DVD set includes all of the episodes of the Oh My Goddess OVA series. Oh My Goddess is a "magical girlfriend" series, with the main stars being Keiichi Morisato and Belldandy. The series itself has excellent storytelling and animation. The episodes were compelling, and left me wondering what would happen in the next episode.
However, I was rather disappointed in the bonus features for this set. A lot of emphasis was put into including information in a slideshow format. ... Read More
Rating: - AH! My Goddess: Season 1 ( Looks of the BOX )
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1EX32TIM9A2OG Video review: this compares Season one box set's looks and whatnot to Season 2's looks. The individual Volume Reviews and Show reviews I figure can go under the Individual listings of each DVD Volume. This is just to take care of any questions people may have about the looks of the box and whatnot. ( I know I had a few questions) Sorry the Video is a little dark.. I will update the review with a brighter one later, my lighting isn't so ... Read More
