Riona's Review Ah! My Goddess is a sweet anime about a nerdy young mechanic who accidentally calls the Goddess help line and gets the "Goddess" Belldandy assigned to him. There follows a very sweet and slow romance, with a lot of goofiness to keep you entertained. Most of the goofiness is supplied by Belldandy's sisters, who also show up. Sex and theology ratings: Belldandy is based on the Norse goddess of the present, so her sisters stand for the past and the future. The older sister Urd is a bit sex-obsessed and wants to move the relationship along, but never gets anywhere. It's very hard to rate this title theologically. To a large degree the "goddesses" are presented as high-tech magical aliens running a large computer server, but we do get a glance of their boss, who is referred to as "Kami-sama" in Japanese or "Almighty" in English, which is a little disturbing. But it's hard to imagine anyone taking the "theology" of this universe seriously. This is the first animation, and the movie follows. If you are wondering whether to watch this or the anime, it depends on how long you want to spend. The anime tells the same story, but much much slower. They are both first-rate however. |
