I honestly never expected it to end after being ran for so many years. Hell, I haven't even kept up to date with the series since around 2003 since I lost interest. Even though I enjoyed the OVA series and the Movie alot the Manga just seemed too slow paced and not much happened (at least not enough to warrant my interest). Ive gotta read some wiki online to see how things have progressed with Keiichi and Belldandy. I wonder if it'll have an ending where they both have kinds like some of us have speculated back at the Sake, Bugs, and Angels forums (before it closed down, or rather before the web admin became a prick).

When I was reading the most recent chapters, it seemed very clear to me that the story was getting ready to end. Still ... this series has been running for over twenty five years now. There are a lot of people who are going to read this that weren't even born yet when this series started.

I've been following this story for twenty one years. Now, it's all over.
I wish it could have been more. There's one story Fujishima said he wanted to tell, but it never happened. Lacking a translation, all I can say about the final chapter is, "that was good." |

So I finally decided to sit down and start this series, and I really quite enjoyed it, which was a bit of a surprise to me. I've only watched the original OVA and the movie so far.
I have two major gripes with the OVA. The first one being that the final two episodes feel very drawn out compared to the rest, and the second one being that the reveal in the last episode is so important for Belldandy's characterization and the context of the plot that it should have been brought up earlier. That additional bit of context is more important than a plot twist in a series that doesn't need it. Also, Belldandy is really just a silly name. That being said, I really enjoyed the art style and the music as well as just the general atmosphere of it and the positive vibes. Even the voice acting was pretty good, which I hadn't expected. The music in the movie was really good as well. But that's no surprise considering Uematsu was evolved. Oh yeah, one more thing: I like the show's take on heaven and gods/goddesses. This sort of heavenly, divine digitality is something I hadn't seen or read before. That was quite intriguing. So next up for me would be the anime. I think the first season is just a more detailed retelling of the events of the '93 OVA, whereas the second season is a previously not animated part of the manga. I could be mistaken though. But yeah, I'm excited to be enjoying Ah! My Goddess. I remember seeing images of it as a kid and short TV ads, about 15 years ago, and I had always assumed that it was an ecchi show, but it really isn't. Not that that makes it any better or worse, but it has been a nice surprise for me.

A couple of years ago I was at Megacon and saw some Oh My Goddess comic books from Dark Horse. I was never aware they existed! As far as I know there are 48 issues and I'm not sure if they are English versions of the manga or what. The Dark Horse website says:
Dark Horse is proud to present Oh My Goddess! The beloved manga series by Kosuke Fujishima is presented in the original Japanese-reading, right-to-left format! These revised volumes include lots of content not available in the original English editions, including color pages and commentary from the creator. The inspiration for the Ah! My Goddess anime TV series! Does anyone have the full collection? |
