Trouble in Paradise! Belldandy’s mentor mentor, Celestin, was imprisoned for attempting to overthrow the Goddess system, but now he’s back! Using a system virus, Celestin, corrupts the Goddess system and removes all of Belldandy’s memories of Keiich! Will Belldandy’s love for Keiichi prove to be the key to ruining Celestin’s plans, or will it be the final ingredient necessary to destroy our reality?! BONUS: Don’t miss the first episode of the Adventures of the Mini-Goddess after the end of the movie! Based on a manga by Kosuke Fujishima, Oh My Goddess! was made into a popular five-part OAV in 1993-94. Keiichi Morisato acquired the goddess Belldandy as a girlfriend in a charming, small-scale domestic comedy. The feature (2000) is set three years later: Keiichi has grown more attractive and less maladroit. Belldandy remains essentially unchanged–until she encounters Celestin, her former “mentor.” Celestin rebelled against the powers of Heaven and was imprisoned. Having escaped, he wants to resume his rebellion and reformulate the universe according to his designs. The filmmakers attempt to link computer viruses with apocalyptic mythology and the relationship between Belldandy and Keiichi. Although they made an agreeably mismatched couple in the OAVs, Keiichi and Belldandy simply don’t have enough depth as characters to challenge what amounts to a Lucifer figure or support such a baroque story line. Rated 13 Up: brief nudity, risqué humor, violence. –Charles Solomon

Well, it’s a fairly competent job (Although the copy protection was HORRIBLE for anyone who still uses their VCR to pipe their DVD player to their TV…)…The dubbing, was, as usual, craptastic. Especially the Mini-goddess dub…it was even more pathetic than the half-hearted attempt at the movie voiceover.
As for the movie itself, you’ll find it’s the same old plot used in the manga (about 20 times…)… Keichii gets taken over by a powerful spirit, damn, who saw that coming?
Anyway, if you don’t have anything else to buy, then yeah, go for it. Otherwise, buy yourself a real movie.

OUTSTANDING!!
THAT’S ALL I CAN SAY! WELL GREAT ANYWAY. I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN A POOR COPY OF THIS MOVIE A WHILE BACK AND I WAS STUNNED TO WATCH A NEW EP. THE STORY LINE IS SO FAR THE BEST IN THE SERIES YET.
IF YOUR NEW TO THIS SERIES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GETTING THE FIRST FIVE OAV’S FIRST. “THE MOVIE WILL MAKE MORE SENSE”.
I CANT WAIT TO GET MY PAW’S ON IT.

I think Amazon reviewers are far too generous in their 5-Star reviews. That should be reserved for all time classics like Neon Genesis Evangelion.
The main problem with Ah! My Goddess is the main character, Belldandy, is hard to like (besides having a silly name). She’s absolutely perfect and subservient in every possible way. She’s too syrupy sweet and meek to build a show around. I’m just not a big fan of romance anime — with its ankle-length ponytails, 3 foot-long bangs that defy gravity and poofy gowns.
And I’m unfamiliar of the Japanese concept of Heaven, but this show mixes witchcraft, magic, Norse mythology, computer technology and the tradtional Christian belief of Angels. It’s never explained why/how each “goddess” has an Angel alter-ego growing out of her back. However, the concept of a technologically driven Heaven is rather interesting (it looks like the White Room from Matrix Reloaded). But this movie is also loaded with a lot of Star Trek Voyager type technobabble. “The LMT is down to 12%!!!”
The last third of the movie is where the real action is and it’s stunning to watch — a real end-of-the-world battle. Action fans should skip ahead or risk being bored to tears. But I found the romance to be trite, teenage, and treacly.

I’m goning to write in my language: ¿Saben cuál es la principal razón por la que la compre?, primeramente fue verla a la venta en DVD, segundo soy un seguidor de la serie Oh! Mi diosa y tercero, que padres dibujos. A BellDandy la dibujaron excelente, no me gusto mucho como dibujaron a Morisato pero su caracter es casi identico como en el comic, a Urd creo que le falto que la pusieran a trabajar un poco en su Hobbie que es crear pociones para el amor (yo pregunto, ¿por que le gusta tanto eso y no tiene novio?) y a Skuld le falto un poco de que apareciera un poco mas ayudando a las diosas. El final de la pelicula no das un ejemplo de que no hay que dudar uno con su pareja, siempre quererla y no hacer mensadas como las de hoy en dia. Belldandy es una muestra de la mujer ideal, lastima que no existe hoy en dia, solamente hay rastros de su persona como la amabilidad, la ternura, entre otras. Bueno, este es mi review espero que les guste.

Well I have the original release of this movie that came out a couple years ago. It was an excellent movie. Wonder if there is anything new with this one.
The 5 star rating is for the original release, as long as they didn’t do much of any change it should be the same on this one.
