I was really expecting somebody to die. Its nice to have a happy ending, but they still haven't kissed.

it always bothers me when they build up a romantic relationship to that extent and yet there isn't a single kiss......i don't think they kiss for a long time either.

i really enjoyed watching this one, i think i will watch it again just for the fun of it. i wish they would make two more seasons. one could never have enough of those girls :)

Yeah, the ending really was nice. A three episode arc and a real emotional situation between Belldandy and Keiichi. So much happened, Belldandy pretty much offered to sacrifice herself to save Keiichi, and Keiichi saved Belldandy from being killed by Lind even while under the Lord of Terror’s control. This is pretty much the end of the series, and the end of a really emotionally developmental arc, too bad they can’t even kiss in it.

Well I certainly enjoyed the anime. Even though this reminded me alot of Tenchi it added a great original twist to things with the whole Goddess angle. I also just finished the 2nd season(Flights of Fancy). I definetly suggest it if you liked this season. I adds now history to a few of the characters.

oh they kiss alright. towards the beginning of the ending theme.

though it wasn't a lip-to-lip kiss, it is still valid

I guess. Very good anime, a little slow at times, a few episodes i didn't like, but overall, a really enjoyable anime, 8/10. Onto season 2 and whatever extras this show has!

Uhm.. huuh.. When did Belldandy get a staff ? : o
Oh well, this series was pretty good I guess, although it was a bit slow in the beginning.

Still, it's reaaaaaaally weird to defeat the so called "Great Lord of Terror" with a 'flute' xD...
But Keiichi looked pretty cool as a demon : D (And the star on his cheek reminds me of the star on Allen from D.Gray-man's forehead, and yeah I liked that anime alot : D)
And except for that necklace, Keiichi still looks better with the demon lord outfit than otherwise xD

Let's see.. seen better, so not more than a.. 7/10, but that's still pretty good, right?
So then.. I wonder.. start watching the next season right of the bat.. or something else in between?

Wow. I really didn't like the ending. I'm glad it didn't end when the snake was sealed, but the rest was just stupid. First they just stand around as Skuld makes an axe for the demon lord and then this happens;

Yeah... Overall I did enjoy this series for the most part and Belldandy & Keiichi are just adorable together <3 Plus Urd is amazing. Though after that ending I'm not sure what to rate this. I'll decide that later.

i love this kind of anime.
light hearted, sometimes a slow-pace, happy romantic ending.
10/10

for those, who wish a kiss - is it really necessary? I mean cmon you can clearly see, what their relationship looks like so there isn't actually a show-off of a kiss needed!
just my thoughts ;)

best regards

Kind of a strange ending but I guess there's a second series to watch so I shouldn't expect too much. I liked the series as a whole though, I think I'll give it 8/10

Finale was poor. Unfunny and just downright stupid.

It gets a six, mainly because it started strongly. Urd improved things. Skuld made them much worse.

The first half of the show was much better than the end. I thought this series was at its best when focusing on Keiichi and Belldandy's relationships with the human characters, and all the misunderstandings that resulted thereof. The more supernatural it got, the less interesting it got.

And I agree with SpudUK. Skuld made things much worse.

I liked the ending, although I thought the lord of terror was a joke transferring himself into a floppy disk.. Really, who does that lol...

I thought it might've ended with them kissing each other but nah, just the cheek o_o..

When I started watching this series I was like "Man I wish I could call the Goddess Hotline!". But somehow the series has gotten stale up until halfway through the series. From there it was just awesome until the end. There was some ridiculous moments in this episode but it was ok.

Overall it was a great series instantly one of my favorites!

4/5

Final without infamy and without praise, plot that still gives us the unexpected, not unexpected! XD
Narration usable, topped with both doing good, humor and sympathy. Drawings and animations good, nice custom design.
OP & ED beautiful, although not an anime series so young! : D
Final rating for now I will give a 7/10!
Let's see how it demonstrates the second season.

When you thought it was over it was just the beginning, pretty nice ending though, quite liked the overall development of this episode and the anime in general. It had some interesting characters and some slight romance development so all in all a pretty good anime and I do wonder what the specials and sequels have to offer us!

so they're officially dating now right? that's good.

this show is not great but it takes my mind off things. but Keiichi's voice sucks though. really.. it's really bad. And Skuld was annoying most of the time.

5/10

I'll watch the sequel.. hopefully it will be better

I really wanted to like this show, especially with my past affinity with the original OVA.
There was just too much fluff. I feel like a handful of episodes weren't necessary.

I was most interested in Urd's story and I'm glad that we got a good slice of that.
The romance was actually good, but the fluff weighed everything down. 6/10

Belldandy launches another attack with the flute which deletes Midgard but not before he tranfers himself into Keiichi. Everybody thinks the LOT is gone for good until Demon Keiichi grabs Midgards Flute and now plans on finishing what he started by using Keiichis body as protection from attacks by the Goddesses!!!


Enter Lind, the newest character in the series. Lind if a Valkyrie sent by the Almighty One to destroy the LOT and Keiichi by whatever means necessary to stop the destruction of the world. Belldandy interferes to save Keiichi and is overpowered by Lind but Lind hesitates when remnants of Keiichi cause the LOT to block an attack by Lind on Belldandy.

Lind decides to wait things out while the LOT continues about opening the gateway to the demon world until Belldandy offfers up her body and orders Lind to destroy her and the LOT when he infects her. The LOT tries to take possession of Belldandy but since a Goddess and a Human are on completely different wave lengths, he can't complete the transfer and is forced to infect the nears object he can get to before he is totally wiped out. Turns out the nearest thing he can infect is a floppy disk which was thrown near him by Skuld and she quickly pulls the pin out of it so he can not escape from it then uses a magnet to finally wipe out the Lord Of Terror! Probably the best thing she ever did in this series!!!

Lind informs everyone that the Lord Of Terror fiasco knocked out all previous data in Yggdrasil along with Goddess contracts and previous suspensions! Which means Urds license in no longer banned but also, Belldandy's contract with Keiichi is now void. Belldandy decides she wants to stay on Earth with Keiichi and they both say they love each other. Which probably pissed off Skuld and overjoyed Urd simultaneously!


A good finish to the series Must've been something lost in the translation there, because Lind said "I won't leave you like this" but the temple is still totaled!!!


4 stars out of 5 and overall I would give this series a solid 8 out of 10 stars. There are some animation errors here and there and some of the alterations in the dub irked me but nothing that ruins the experience. Great art style, great music, and a good VA cast!!!

I liked how they inserted Lind into the Lord of Terror Arc, it was a departure from the original manga plotline, but it was appropriate and an interesting plot turn. Plus it introduces her prior to her appearance in the Fighting Wings OVA, allowing those episodes to flesh her out, as she is already introduced here.

And in the end of course all is well. Was really stupid to first make a weapon for that dude only then to realize that he will do evil stuff with it and should be stopped...

Enjoy the SoL content, did not enjoy the filler episodes and the last three serious episodes. 6/10

It would've been better if the anime just stayed as SoL and romance comedy instead of suddenly turning into pseudo shounen in the end. The Lord of Terror was such a waste time. Anyway, I still found the anime entertaining overall + Belldandy waifu tier. 7/10

I also prefer the sol and comedy to the catastrophic events on a greater scale. But it wasn't bad and better than Skuld being a pest :D And it ended on a wholesome note. Belldandy isn't obligated to stay anymore, imo that outcome was worth the drama.

Overall a very enjoyable and well balanced series. Don't see myself getting tired of it soon.

Great ending! Hope to see more of Lind in the next season.

I'm guessing God or whoever brought everyone back to life? That Fenrir blast to that building certainly killed people. Either way, I hope there's some real-world consequences/changes that happen in S2 now that the public has seen all this stuff, and not just hand-wave it away.

9/10

This was a great ending overall. Really didn’t I’d enjoy Ah My Goddess this much but I was really invested with this, Keiichi and Belldandy were such a brilliant dynamic together, I really liked that the show just built and built a lot on the relationship, I couldn’t have asked for a better couple than those two altogether. Urd was an awesome character, animation was just beautiful and I will say it was quite a balanced series when it came to romance as a whole.
The only bad thing about it was Skuld but otherwise I’m definitely checking out season 2 when I can because this was incredible to watch. I’m gonna score this a 9/10, it was that good for me.

that's the way to end peak man. loved this anime but my days every bad thing that happened was due to Skuld absolutely hated her. if she just accepted that Belldandy and Morisato loved each other sincerely none of this world-ending stuff would've happened. but I jest!
