I laughed a lot at Keiichi's reaction to Belldandy coming through the mirror XD
Good start to the series. Looking forward to more.

Although this episode was pretty good/important with regard to representing the unfortunate life situation that Keiichi is in, I kind of felt that things were moving a little bit too slowly. I was a little dissapointed that we didn't get to see Belldandy until the last couple minutes of the episode; I think it could of happened sooner.

It moved a little slowly at the beginning compared to the manga and OVA but I still liked most of it. Keiichi might be a loser but he's pretty good on a motorbike XD

Great! I would've wished the exact same thing if a goddess appeared before me with only one wish available. Amazing.

I hate pushover MC's.. he's kind and I like that but damn it man have some self-respect. Those dudes were treating you like a slave.

I wonder what he'll ask for.

This show is quite funny.. I hope the MC gets enough backbone to say no to others..soon

I'm planning on watching this, but I have a couple of questions before I do: It's not ecchi, is it? It doesn't have panty shots or boob grabbing? Because if it does, I'm dropping it. I hear its good, but I want to make sure.

Good episode. I am hating Urd's voice though. They should have kept the one in the OVA and Adventures of Mini Goddess.

I guess you probably know by now, but in case you're holding out on watching it, no, this is not an ecchi anime. It's been a while since I watched it, but I honestly don't remember even one scene like that.

Just binge watched the whole series again over the weekend. It's been about 5 years since I last watched it and I can still say that this is one of my top 5 personal favorite series in my collection. I loved the OVA but always felt it was criminally short and needed a sequel. This expanded and art updated incarnation brings in a lot of characters who were only shown in the OVA intro or were cut completely.

The animation and music is still fantastic and for the most part, I like all the VA character dubs. The intro with "Open Your Mind" is still one of the most beautiful animation openings! The art style is nearly identical to the movie and I personally like to include the movie as part of this universe!

This being an introduction episode, it gets things set in place by introducing us to Keiichi Morisato and the hardships he faces in daily life then the ball gets rolling with Belldandy appearing at the very end.

Middle of the road episode, just laying ground work. 3 stars out of 5!

Well the introduction prologue and narrative exposition from Urd and Skuld was superlative, far superior to the OVA setup. The way it establishes Keiichi as a victim of fate and misfortune is a good setup to introducing the goddesses of fate themselves as principal characters later.

A better start than the OVA, which is no surprise since they have way more time to flesh everything out. The reveal of the goddess is pretty similar though, so I guess they will follow the same way.

I've always wanted to watch this anime 15 years ago, but I keep putting it off for some reason. I've finally decided to watch it and so far Im liking it.

How I wish for a Goddess to also show up in my life one day and bring life to my zombie like existence. hehe

Also, the OP/ED gives me so much nostalgia for some reason. God, how I miss 2000-2010.

I found this episode kinda boring, it was slow, I wished the godess showed up sooner. I also hope the MC will change through the story, he shouldn't let everyone use him like a slave. Anyway, it was still a good first episode, and I have the feeling it will only get better.

3/5

Good start, but I preferred the ova's way of jumping straight into it.

This is a show I haven't finished and I've only seen the first two episodes of. Hopefully I can get to the end this time anyways this is an interesting start, I'd say this is just an episode to etablish the series but then this is most anime we are talking about so that's not really a point. Belldandy as I remember from what I've seen of her is such an innocent character and her coming into Keiichi's life is going to be something to see for me. God I forgot how good the opening is, it's so soothing and calm.
