Editorial Reviews

In these brief cartoons, excessively cute miniature versions of Urd, Skuld, and, occasionally, Belldandy from the Oh My Goddess OAVs get involved in silly misadventures with a walleyed rat named Gan. In the opening episode, Urd misreads Gan's fortune--and marries the hapless rodent to a teakettle (who subsequently elopes with a coffeepot). The cleverest episodes involve "Gabira": Gan turns into a monster-rat in spoofs of the Godzilla movies of the '50s, complete with title sequences. But most of the stories are just inane little comedies that lack the personalities and charm that made the original series a hit. Rated 13 Up, but appropriate for children five years younger; contains minor slapstick violence. --Charles Solomon

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh My Goddess, they've shrunk!!!, March 19, 2002

By	Bryan Weber (San Angelo, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's not animation that will change the world or make you think. And that's the point. Adventures of the Mini-Goddess is a foray into cute, harmless fun, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Fifteen episodes of your favorite Goddesses, Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld, as they explore the house in a diminuitive size, and have adventures with their friend (and constant foil for their mischevious pranks) Gan-Chan.

Missions to the moon, weddings among household appliances, and battles with giant moldy monsters (remember kids, just toss the moldy cake and don't eat it), as well as adventures in weight loss, and a game of baseball, it's good clean fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Fun, & Fantastic, May 2, 2002

By A Customer

This is the funniest little anime bits I've seen in a long time. I really laughed hard. While the animation is good and consistant, it's not amazing as some purists may want it. Being 'shorts' allows for funny genre parodies that would probably have failed if they were any longer. While these bits are part of the Ah! My Goddess universe, there really is no need to know anything about A!MG to watch. If you need some comic relief, pick up a copy of Mini Goddess. You'll find yourself, for the first time, feeling sorry for a rat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best...anime...EVER!!!, March 27, 2002

By	Scott Shingle (Chester Springs, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This is the cutest, funniest, most adorable thing you will probably ever see. I've had import VCD's of this for the past couple of years and have watched them over and over. I'm excited that it's now coming out with english subtitles so that I can fully appreciate some of the jokes. Even without the translations, the stories are so easy to follow that anyone can enjoy them. The goddesses and Gan-chan lampoon everything from Godzilla to Galaxy Express 999, and from the Wright Brothers to the first landing on the moon. What makes these stories so funny is that you can never tell how much is real and how much is just in the characters' imaginations. It's really the anime version of Muppet Babies, just done much, much better. If you like silly parody anime, you won't be disappointed in this.
