Ah! My Goddess

Take a closer look at the Ah! My Goddess solar system (61k .jpg).

This series is also known as Oh My Goddess! or Aa Megami-sama. Oh My Goddess! is the title of the AnimEigo release, and Aa Megami-sama is of course the romaji Japanese. Take your pick, but I like Ah!...

68k Ah! My Goddess is about the relationship between Morisato Keiichi, a student at Nekomi Institute of Technology (NIT) and the goddess Belldandy. The two are brought together after Keiichi got hungry one evening, and called out for some food. He dialed the wrong number and got the Relief Goddess Office by accident. From out of the mirror appears Belldandy, offering to grant Keiichi one wish "no matter what it is...".

Keiichi, anxious over his difficulties in getting a girlfriend - he's a little short - wishes for someone to stay with him forever. Someone just like her. Belldandy innocently interprets this as Keiichi wishing for her to stay with him forever. Unfortunately, Keiichi lives in a men-only dorm, so he got thrown out when his sempai returned. Eventually he and Belldandy settle for an old temple...

The show develops from this point, introducing more characters and generally being a very sweet and romantic, and often funny, anime. 123k
