Advantages: Great animation, Goddesses all over the place causing trouble, excellently drawn Disadvantages: May not appeal to some
...OMG is also known as Ah! My Goddess over in Japan as 'Ah' is what they say in place of our 'Oh'. After being westernised by the company AnimEigo, they thought it would be more appropriate for us English users if it was changed.

Story:-
So what the heck is the story about? Well it revolves around this average, easy to pick on, motor vehicle fanatic college student at the Nekomi ... ...who is living at his college dorm. Being the guy that everybody pushes around, he was made to look after the dorm while everybody else was out having fun. His tasks were to take phone calls, receive packages and to keep girls out. Yup, they have a strict NO GIRLS ALLOWED rule at his dorm. Well our mild mannered guy is chilling is his room when all of a sudden hunger decides to pay him a visit. Growl... time for some grub! So he picks up the phone ...

Advantages: Funny, original and fresh Disadvantages: Japanese anime is difficult to obtain in the UK
Ever dialled a wrong number? What was the worse response you've ever had? "I'm in the bath!" or "no speaka eennglishhhh!". Well, how would you feel if the wrong number you dialled resulted in a goddess landing on your doorstep? This is the basis for "Oh My Goddess!" (OMG). Here's the plot:

Advantages: Very Funny! Disadvantages: Have to be into Japanese comedy to really understand
I have been a fan of Japanese Anime for 6 years. I have several favourite series that I am collecting and Oh My Goddess is one of them. It is the funniest craziest video series currently out (at least until they finish the Tenchi Muyo series and / or bring out Ranma 1/2) and I breathlessly await each new episode that comes out on Video.
Oh My Goddess is about a schoolboy (Keichi) who dials out for takeaway and manages to get a Goddess (Belledandy) ... ...on him by his classmates, when Belle asks Kei what he truly wishes for, he asks for Belle to be his Girlfriend forever. Imagine the consternation that follows when the wish is approved! They get kicked out of Kei's dorm and have to find somewhere to live...
It gets crazier by the minute and anyone who likes Tenchi Muyo, Ranma 1/2, Project A-ko or Lum will love this. If you are new to the world of Anime then it makes a great intro into the Japanese ...

Advantages: Good story and brilliant artwork Disadvantages: A bit of a short series
This is one of my favourite Anime series. I have watched this series over and over again, and i still am. So for anyone into Anime i recommend you see this. You can now get it on video in the UK so what are you waiting for. For those that isn't sure what this is about here is a brief summary....It's about a student (Keiichi) who calls for a delivery, but instead he gets a Goddess (Belldandy) who will grant him one wish, what ever that wish may be. ...

Advantages: Funny, Original and excellent animation Disadvantages: Its a very short series
This is an excellent little series that i enjoy watching over and over again. The Anime itself is incredibly well drawn, has a deep storyline, involving a funny love triangle.
It is unfortunate that it is such a short series - i love watching it and would recommend it to anime regulars and novices alike.
In a way it very similar to atleast 2 other anime series - Love Hina and Chobits - which i would also recommend to viewers.
The female characters ... ...top - there is no casual nudity, but there are some very sexy poses for the guys to hoot over.
As i said before i heartily recommend this series to anyone, but especially to those that are looking at getting into the Japanese Animation scene. Oh My Goddess is a brilliant example of Japanese Anime at its best ...

Advantages: Great Designs, Great Animation Disadvantages: Doesn't appeal to everyone
This film is magical! The animation is superb. The general artwork is the best ever. The characters are brilliant! There are seven main characters in this film: Belldandy (goddess 1st-class unlimited), Urd (goddess 2nd class limited and belldandy's older sister), Skuld (goddess and Belldandy's younger sister), Keiichi Morisato (Belldandy's 'boyfriend'), Paorth (goddess in heaven, computer person thing), Celestine (Belldandy's mentor), and Morgan ... ...on earth, when they are met by a strange figure who appears to put Belldandy to sleep.... she then wakes with some form of amnesia. Morgan tries to get close to Keiichi, but why?
I'm not going to tell you! You will have to watch the film, which finishes in a spectacular and heart-warming way! If you enjoy part-comical and part-action with excellent artwork and a good storyline, YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE! Well I enjoyed it anyway! ...
