Ah! My Goddess – Season 1 Complete Collection
Not bad, but the music is annoying, ruining the whole anime.
Often the music is not appropriate to the scene, like big orchestral classical music not matching the emotion of the scene. I specially hate the tuba just walking funny as in some bad Disney movie.
The music is loudest when it should be silent, like during serious discussion between the characters. Rating: 3 / 5
Though this item took a while to deliver, it was well worth the wait. CD’s were in perfect condition, though the case was somewhat broken on the inside. My only suggestion for improvement would be to use different postal packaging for better item condition upon delivery. Other than that, everything went quite well indeed ^_^ Rating: 4 / 5
What can I say about Ah! My Goddess that hasn’t already been said? I will say this. It’s nice to see a story that has real heart and warmth. It’s something that I think is missing from a lot of our own shows. People have criticized Keiichi and Belldandy as being a wimp and a doormat, but I just don’t see it that way. Belldandy’s status as a First Class Goddess is something that you should keep in mind as you watch this. That’s Goddess First Class, Unlimited License. That means she’s the example to which all other Goddesses aspire. I don’t think that taking care of someone and finding the joy in the simple things of life makes you a doormat. I don’t think that looking for the best in people even when they disappoint you makes you weak –I think that kind of character is something that could only exist in a Goddess First Class, Unlimited License.
As for Keiichi, he’s more than special too. He’s that lovable underdog in all of us. This is a truly good young man in the way that he keeps his positive outlook in spite of all the hardships. He’s not good with women –that’s something that all of us have struggled with at some point. I think the reason I like his character is that I can identify with his problem. Sometimes all you need in order to make the most out of life is to have that important someone to stand by you and believe in you. You can see it as the series progresses, just what an affect having that kind of someone in your life can make. But even with that, it isn’t automatic. You don’t just get it once and then everything falls into place. His wish wasn’t a selfish wish, it was a genuinely honest one. I think that’s what she sees in him from the very beginning. Rather than wishing for wealth, or fame or anything materialistic, he wished for someone to stick by him that would believe in him. Who wouldn’t fall in love with someone like that?
The major problems with their relationship comes from the outside. I think that’s the funniest thing about the show. The two come to love unexpectedly, but they are going at their own pace –even though it may seem slow to some; for the two of them it’s absolutely right. Urd and Skuld are family, and like family they meddle even if it’s with the best of intentions. It’s zany and it’s non violent for the most part and it’s romantic. I really could spend two hours watching these with my daughter and not feel like its a chore. Sometimes I even sneak and preview an episode or two ahead after she’s gone to sleep.
The sexual tension is real, without going too overboard like a lot of other Anime. It’s not too much and I don’t think it tries to bash you over the head with it. The violence is minimal, and pertinent to the storyline. Bottom line is that I have no reservations about recommending this kind of Anime to my friends who want something different. I do a lot of watching of shows like this for my daughter because I’m tired of her watching the drivel that counts for shows for girls these days. This one has real heart. Rating: 5 / 5
This is terrific series for any anime fan. Though most would toss this into a ‘harem’ classification with scarcely a thought, there is very rarely a moment where any of the female characters compete directly or indirectly for the male lead’s affection. While all the characters involved have their own motivations, this does let the main romance, the actual focus of the series, develop well with the plot. The good music and light, clean animation also accenuates the series light and innocent tone. A good buy. Rating: 5 / 5
I’ve heard about this series in the past but never thought about reading/watching it until I rented it randomly from Netflix. After watching the series, I was blown away by how good the series was. I bought the DVDs shortly after finishing the rented versions. The US production company did an excellent job with the English dubbing of this series (and I greatly thank them for keeping the same English cast for season 2). I can’t think of any negative points about the series itself.
The one problem I did run into with this item was the sub-par construction of DVD case. The first one I received from Amazon had 1 DVD cracked in half. After ordering a replacement, the DVDs were all in good condition but some plastic pieces that are supposed to hold the DVDs in place were broken off. I ended up removing all the DVDs from the case and storing them in my own DVD cases.
