Good start, but then it gets ruined

Disappointment for a huge fan!

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

I have to say... This is quite possibly the cheesiest and gayest movie I have made myself endure. Don't get me wrong... I can appreciate certain elements of the movie that were done really well, such as the story and the art direction, but, come on, a girl named Belldandy? Are you serious? It was painful to hear this name be spoken time and time again, and though the story was interesting, the script could not have had more cheese ooze out from every single word of it. Unless this movie was made for 8 year old girls, which I doubt because of the almost constant presence of a half-naked woman (get a real woman you anime perverts, or at just go ahead and show them naked if you're gonna do something like this), I would never want to put someone else through the pain of watching this... thing. Pretty to look at, +1, interesting love story, +1, gayest script ever, -100. You want good anime? Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Ghost in the Shell 1 & 2, Rurouni Kenshin, even Dragonball Z/GT and Afro Samurai. Belldandy?!?! WTF!!!!!!!!

I am VERY critical when giving movies reviews, so this is something when i say this. This movie is quite possibly THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE. I cannot think of a movie that is more beautifully told, drawn, or acted than this one. When i first saw this, this was after i had seen the original OVA and wanted to see more. It was more than i ever could have hoped for. Using the same VA's from the original TV series, this continues to be one of those things i can't watch in English. The Japanese belldandy's voice is gorgeous and matches her perfectly. The art of this movie is breathtaking, the detail and character development is AMAZING, yet it also leaves a message, and gives you a good feeling afterwords. This movie is without a doubt the best movie ever made, live action or animated. If you didn't see the original OVA series, go out and BUY IT just so you can watch this movie. It's completely worth it. A 10/10 in all regards as nothing even comes close.

Ah my goddess was an awesome movie with an excellent story to it... any anime fans out there should read the books and watch the series as well!!! ^_^ I love the main character so much that my friends nicknamed me Belldandy after her!! but anyway... i definitely suggest you watch this movie if you haven't already and if you don't like it... well, your dumb!! i mean the character design was incredible, the animation was excellent, the voice actors were amazing, the story was perfect, and well... in all it was just amazing!! one thing i didn't like though... the artist makes her female characters stand out more than the males! and of course as a girl i would have loved for there to be a hot guy character but other than that... amazing!!

Based on the OAV series, this one takes a few years after the series. Now a new semester on college, and a few members on the Motor club, this one is about Belldandy's teacher Celestin, he comes back, a little reunion, but there seems to be something wrong with him, he's wanted, and gives Belldandy amnesia. What is Keichi to do? what is Celestin's sinister plan, and does the new member of the Motor club have something to do with it? A wonderful movie, and beautiful and improved animation, and the characters are just marvelous, and Keiichi kind of looks like Tenchi now, and that girl Morgan looks like Motoko of Love Hina. And in this one, they tell the history and background of Belldandy and the other goddesses, a must see for the fans of the show. Watch it.
