I am a huge fan of this series, and this volume is no exception. The artwork is as superb as ever, and the voice acting is excellent as well.
This continues the story of Keichi Morisato and the goddess Belldandy. It is a great romantic comedy that I reccommend to everyone who is looking for a good anime.Ah! My Goddess, Season 2: Flights of Fancy, Vol. 4 - I'm a Believer

Complications abound in this series of episodes as Skuld learns the benefits of doing things the hard way, while Marller gives us another example of the dangers of a little bit of knowledge. Along the way, both Skuld and Urd face some tough choices, along with interesting opportunities, and Skuld even gets her angel (sort of).
This story line is my personal favorite, and this entry is certainly no exception. This whole saga may seem a bit much to jump into at this point, but it's not overly complex. If you can accept the premise of who these characters are, even a novice can find a wonderful story here, not to mention a whole lot of fun. I give this series my highest recommendation.

This is another good addition to the Ah! my goddess anime. I highly recommend this anime to anyone I meet.

If you like the Ah my Goddess Series then you obviously have started season two, this is the 4th installment. It is just as wonderfull as the rest so a definate must for all Goddess' fans.

In this, the fourth installment of the second season of Ah! My Goddess!, the "second banana" goddesses Skuld and Urd each have two stories.
In the first episode on the disc, Skuld, the "bratty little kid" goddess, struggles to learn to ride a bike in the "conventional" manner (i.e., without her usual mechanical aids). As with so much of Ah! My Goddess!, this is a gentle story without a lot of magical "gimmicks" and very family-friendly; I think kids could certainly benefit from the message that you have to keep trying even if you fall. The second episode on the disc follows on to this one, with Skuld's new "boyfried" Sentaro (who helped her learn to ride a bike) entering a race, and Skuld dealing with a somewhat-accidentally acquired mini-angel.
The second two episodes are a two-parter in which Marller (the rather inept demon who constantly plagues the goddesses) tricks Urd into giving up some hair so Marller can, with a "heretical pot," transfer the demon side of Urd into a clone created from that hair sample. For Urd fans (count me as one) these two episodes are a delight, and there are some truly great gags involving how "creepy" Urd seems with only her good side, as well as one of my favorites, when Marller is explaining to Urd about how she got the pot from a "hellish mail-order catalog" (I think I've actually GOTTEN some of those...)

WELL SKULD IS STARTING TO GROW UP, BUT SHE STILL DOES NOT HAVE ANY USE FOR HER MAGIC, AND SHE CAN NOT EVEN RIDE A BIKE. URD MAKES A BET WITH HER THAT IS SHE CAN RIDE A BIKE IN THREE DAYS THE LOSER MUST DO THREE LAPS AROUND THE TOWN ON EITHER A TRICYLE FOR SKULD, OR A UNICYCLE FOR URD. BELL AND KEII TRY TO HER HER, BUT AFTER MANY CRASHES SKULD GIVE UP. WHILE SHE IS SITTING AT THE RIVER SHE MEETS A YOUNG MAN WHO GIVES HER CYCLING LESSONS AND SHE IS ABLE TO RIDE WITH HER BIG SIS. AND THIS YOUNG MAN ALSO HELPS HER BECAUSE SHORTLY AFTER SKULDS MAGIC POWERS START TO KICK IN. AS SHE IS LEARNING TO CONTROL HER MAGIC, SHE ACCIDENTALY SWALLOWS THE ANGEL EGG URD GAVE HER AND NOBLE SCARLETT IS BORN (A LITTLE ON THE SMALL SIDE, BUT STILL AN ANGEL). SKULD THEN LEARNS THAT AN ANGEL IS A BIG RESPONSIBILTY AND DURING ONE ARGUEMENT, SKULD TELLS HER IF SHE PULLS ANOTHER STUNT SHE WILL GO BACK INTO HER EGG. DURING AN OFFROAD BIKE RACE THAT HER FRIEND IS IN, NOBLE SCARLETT PLAY ONE MORE TRICK AND GOES INTO HER EGG AGAIN. THE OTHER EPISODES START UP WITH THE GODDESSES AND KEII GOING TO A WEEKEND HOT SPRING RESORT AND RUNNING INTO MARLLAR THE DEMONESS (ACTUALLY KEII DOES IN THE MEN'S BATH). AFTER A NIGHT OF DRINKING MARLAR AND BANPEI CLONE A HAIR OF URD'S HAIR TO TRY TO SEPERATE URD'S DEMON AND GODDESS SIDES USING THE LEGENDARY URN OF HERESY (WHICH SHE GOT FROM THE HELL MAIL ORDER SERVICE). CAN KEII AND THE GODDESS STOP THIS EVIL URD FROM DESTROYING THE CITY?

THIS WAS A NICE CHANGE WITH THE SIDE STORIES OF URD AND SKULD, THE GODDESS TEAM REALLY PULLS IT OFF. AND NEXT DISK IS WHEN URD'S MOTHER STOPS BY FOR A VISIT (HAS IT BEEN MENTIONED SHE IS THE LORD OF TERROR).....TILL NEXT DISK
