Aa! Megami-sama!

I watched this cos it was short. Can't say I was expecting much from it, and was pleasantly surprised as a result. This was in more ways than one the feel of this is similar to "Onegai Teacher" (the female leads are even voiced by the same actress). However, I thought "Onegai teacher" was a horrible anime... so how did this succeed where Onegai Teacher didn't, especially given the title of this was enough to make me cringe?

Is it the animation? The animation for AMG ("Ah! My Goddess") is only so-so, not as good as Onegai Teacher. The colours are a bit stale and though ... I wouldn't go as far as to say it looks dated, it's obvious that it isn't a recent anime. Also, Belldandy didn't look as stunning all the characters makes her out to be. :P

The sound? I REALLY liked the music in this one... the end theme is just so catchy and charming. In hindsight, it probably did a lot to tame my attitude towards AMG. The only bit that was slightly off was the music being played during the climax in the last episode. It was a tad over dramatic, and would have been more suitable in a mecha battle or something. Other than that, I loved the music. Did I mention that I especially liked the end theme? Oh well, it's so good it deserves another mention :P Even though I thought the voice acting was a little on the weak side, the sound department certainly went a long way towards making this a decent anime.

The story... as you might expect from someone who thought the Onegai Teacher's story was ludicrous, I thought the story for AMG was ludicrous too, and it was definitely the weakest part of this anime. But for some reason AMG seemed a lot less so than Onegai teacher. It felt like it was flowed much better. Maybe it is because of the characters - I felt the characters in AMG were much better portrayed. Initially, I thought it was a little weird how Belldandy just took to the guy so easily, but as it went on, I actually found the relationship between the two main characters to be a lot more natural than in "Onegai Teacher". And what's more, I actually cared a bit about what happened to the main character in this. So this is another one of the major factors that lifts this far above "Onegai Teacher".

AMG is far from being great, but I would describe it as a NICE anime, one of those that make you go "awww". It turned out to be pretty decent, and considering how I tend to hate anime from this genre, this is pretty high praise.

Mehh

Keiichi meets the Goddess Belldandy and asks her to stay at his side forever... So where do you go from there? This is a very cheerful and comedic anime with a bit of drama in every episode to keep things interesting.

Honestly the first episode failed to impress me because Keichii is your typical wimpy male protagonist who is easily shocked about everything and Belldandy is your lovely soft anime waifu who never gets angry about anything. It does get better in episode 2 though, more comedy, more drama, the characters experience growth and mature over each episode and become more relatable as a couple ... with the challenges they face, like a being harassed by bullies/haters, jealous sisters and things like that though it does feel like an eternity for anything to happen between Keiichi and Bell.

Belldandy's sisters, Urk and the other whose name I forgot are also part of the story and are quite likeable at first but you'll soon realize that their only purpose is to either make or break the relationship of Keichii and Bell. After their own character specific episode ends they become stale DBZ side characters where they really don't matter much to the plot anymore other than to be around the MCs. What's even worse is that they even lose a bit of the personality that made them so unique, they all become these generic caring and supportive side characters with no goals or real reason to be there.

The story starts simple enough but the final episode adds a twist that kinda ruins everything and the ending is unsatisfying. The art style is very 90's, nice to look at but for some reason each episode looks worse than the previous one.

The last episode looks absolutely awful, characters like Urk that used to look beautiful and hot look less detailed and rushed like the production team was on a very tight budget or something. The music isn't memorable.

Overal, the show had potential but it was wasted by not taking it's time to develop it's characters more and keep them consistent. Also the story gets convoluted for no reason it should've kept it simple.
