Most important things about this theater version of Ah! My Goddess looks already covered by other fans. Although TV series version was actually produced after this movie version, this episode is most likely to be the last episode of all Goddess series in terms of time sequence, because the time frame of the episode is 2 years after Belldandy and Keiichi first met. They first met when Keiichi was a sophomore and now he is a senior. I am personally wondering to death what kind of life will likely to be after keiichi graduates the college.... But anyway, one thing I want to add for review is that Belldandy is now a bit possessive than before. In other episodes, she was nice to everybody, not just to keiichi, and did not show any jealous behavior, even when another girl hookks up Keiichi. She is quite different here. When Hasegawa got drunken and made fun of Keiichi with her breasts, Belldandy unconscientiously used her power to stop them. When Celestin, Belldandy's most trusted mentor, erased her all memory with Keiichi, she returned back to the nice-to-everyone mode. Although she is still extremely nice to keiichi despite the memory loss, her indifferent niceness sheds the sad gloom on entire movie until she finally gets aware of her "one ugliness." Belldandy called her emotion toward to keiichi ugly, because she wants Keiichi just for herself and to share with no one, despite the fact that she, as a goddess, has to equally love and share everybody and everything. Well... I think she showed the possible limit of being innocent. At this level, innocence is almost a disease... Anyway, if you are familiar with Ah My Goddess series, this movie version is like a perfumy drop of essence extracted from all Goddess series. I can't forget to mention the music. Actually, I listened to the OST music before I watched the DVD. I was first quite doubtful how such grandiose full-symphony music can fit in with Goddess stories. My experience later for DVD was... just "Wow." I regretted to death that I don't have 5+1 channel audio and 50-inch monitor. Somebody below mentioned about the English dubs. Yes, original Japanese voice certainly carries something that English version cannot offer. But they are not too bad after all, especially when you compare it with OVA version English dubs. In OVA version of Oh My Goddess (NOT Ah My Goddess), English dubs almost ruined the delicacy and finesse of the original film by unforgivably putting things in joke-like manner. I don't know who must to be blamed, translator, producer, voice crews, or even cultural difference, but clearly, the OVA version dubbing lacks appreciation. Fortunately, this DVD of Ah My Goddess is far better than the oVA version in terms of English dubs. But, the best is surely the original sounds. I never thought that Japanese language can this be enchanting.

I liked the quality of the Blu-ray disc and cover. The seller said it's condition is very good and there are only small scratch marks on the disc. It didn't skip any scenes or audio, so that's really good. I saw two different versions of this movie for sale here, with two different release dates and covers. They don't mention the same voice actors, and I have never owned the other one, but this version has the original English voice actors for the movie.

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.

It worked. I was so skeptical because I had searched everywhere for this movie and no one had it and I was so frustrated! But the movie worked and is exactly like what I remember as a kid and I’m so happy. I checked all the normal anime sites and nothing. Then gave this a shot!

Ah, my Goddess! The Movie - This was a good movie, I have to admit it was entertaining until the middle of the movie. It seemed to "drag" a little bit because its as if the story keeps going on and on in circles but then it picks up and it ends beauitfully. The series Oh, My Goddess (this is the movie) is great too, but this movie is worth watching After you see the series DVDs. Overall, I'd watch the movie again by myself or with a friend, because it does take you on a adventure. For those interested in love stories, this is a great movie for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Done! A Must Have for Everyone!
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2002

This is one of the best anime to ever be released. The characters are beautifully well drawn and the story even more enchanting. You don't even need to view the previous OAV's or read the manga to understand what's going on. The story works well on its own. However, if you want to fully appreciate the background and understanding of the characters and story its best you did. You will not be disappointed. It is truly one of my favorite animes. The story takes place three years after the OAV. And again Keichii and Belldandy's love is put to the ultimate test. The story is well written, easy to follow and the themes are seen as plain as day. Good vs. evil, morals and ethics challenged, and our beloved characters stuck in the middle of the fray. Truly an enjoyable and memorable movie.
The DVD itself is beautifully made. The slip case is just breath taking. Pioneer has done a wonderful job with this DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delight

So, facts first: this movie picks up pretty much where the OVA series of 5 episodes left off. Celestin, a mysterious figure from Belldandy's past returns to Earth and, in the process, proceeds to infect her with a virus that erases all memories she has of her time with Keichi.

Suddenly all three goddesses find themselves struggling to save the earth and all of creation, while Belldandy tries at the same time to regain her memories of the man she loves.

As someone who came to the AMG franchise via the 2005 series first, I found a couple of things a little strange at first, but this movie shares the same tone as both that series (though K-1 and Belldandy do seem to be rather more outwardly affectionate here) and the manga itself. It also manages to round off the OVA series really well.

And the visuals are wonderful. The animation is really well done, the audio is good and even the English dub is reasonably good (though I still think it sounds best in the original Japanese with subs)

Even though you sort of know that Keichi and Belldandy will win through somehow in the end, part of the fun and excitement is seeing how it will happen. There's plenty to keep a viewer occupied and a really powerful emotional core, which makes it a very rewarding watch, even though it could be a little confusing (sometimes) for anyone who's not fully aware of the AMG canon.

Been a fan of the series for a couple of years now I have the first and second seasons. Plus the mini goddess episodes so when I found out there was a movie as well I just had to purchase it.
The story is set between the first and second seasons.But is on par with anything disney was putting out in 2000.
A good family film.
