Ah! My Goddess! Flights of Fancy picks up the pace from the first season with the endearing cast we know and love. Keichi Morisato continues to shine as the MC and the this season significantly improves the character interactions between himself and Belldandy. Instead of magic causing the conflict, the couple is forced to examine their internal struggles which is resolved more organically. ... S2 also has more action which helps with the pacing and the tighter story arcs don’t drag. In some ways side characters are given more development time than the main couple, which may be distracting to some, but it is a pleasant balance that was missing from the previous installment. Issues from S1 are still present such as Belldandy being too perfect and a lack of “resolution” to her story. The show also takes a few steps back in Keichi’s character struggle that were seemingly resolved in S1.

The viewer’s itch for Keichi and Belldandy to consummate their relationship still has yet to be scratched with this season’s conclusion, but the overall narrative inches them ever closer.

Cute story, like a real fairyttale. Starts strong but right away slows down to snail's pace and keeps up that development speed for almost 50 episodes of season 1, 2 and specials.
Characters are for the most part ok, Belldandy, Urd, Peorth, Hild and Megumi are fun and interesting, Skuld and Marller are a bit annoying, the rest except Keiichi are forgetable or plain filler characters instead of having richer backgronds 0n main ones.
Now, the main guy, Keiichi, a character that has frustrated me so much I literally wished he'd get beaten to an inch from dying multiple times. Why? Because calling him loser, ... no guts, no balls, worthless weakling would be a huge upgrade, that's how pathetic he is.
Don't watch this expecting romance, there is none. Just a bunch of Godesses pactically throwing themselves on him, one of which he even loves, bu he's too shy to hold hands with her.

The beginning of the season was actually pretty good. Another Goddess came down from heaven, ready to please keiichi and hilariousness ensued. Soon after that though it became downright un-enjoyable for me. For starters, it felt like everything in this season was just a rehash of things we'd already seen in the first season. Not the episodes plots, but the character interactions and lessons. Nothing new ever develops. Keiichi and Belldandy's relationship gets really old when it stops progressing. All that ever happens is the two of them saying I love you over and over while their relationship stays in the same place. They're afraid ... to kiss each other for christ's sake! What really disappointed me about this season though was that it was less funny than the previous. Since I find the romance in this show so poor I watch it mainly for humor, and this season was not funny like the first was.
