Ah! My Goddess: Love Plus One Volume 2, Episodes 6 – 10 Based on a manga by Kosuke Fujishima, Ah My Goddess has been a fan favorite for years: the 2005 TV series was preceded by an OVA in 1993, the TV series Adventures of the Mini-Goddess in 1998, and a theatrical feature in 2000. It's hard for nerdy student Keiichi Morisato to live a semblance of a normal life with adoring Norse goddess Belldandy. It gets even harder when Keiichi's sister Megumi joins them at the Nekomi Institute of Technology: She's amazed to find her out-of-it brother living with a beautiful girl, and starts offering advice. Further complications arise when glitches in the celestial operating system cause Belldandy's older, wilder sister Urd to join the household. Meanwhile, deposed campus queen Sayoko Mishima and school Casanova Toshiyuki Aoshima are plotting to break up the happy, if unorthodox, home Keiichi and Belldandy have established. It all adds up to the mixture of slapstick and sentiment that Ah! My Goddess fans expect. --Charles Solomon for Amazon.com
Ah! My Goddess: With or Without You Volume 3, Episodes 11 – 14 As the broadcast series of Ah My Goddess continues, life grows more complicated for Keiichi Morisato and Norse goddess Belldandy. Marller, a demon Belldandy and her sister Urd sealed away ages ago, reappears and turns Keiichi into a motor scooter. Once Keiichi is back to normal--or as close as he's likely to get--Belldandy's younger sister Skuld arrives. As she's gadget-happy, she quickly clashes with Keiichi's mechanically minded younger sister, Megumi. The addition of these characters reduces Keiichi and Belldandy to relatively minor roles in their own series. The filmmaking is sometimes sloppy: when a glowing, rabbit-like creature steals the magic CD that gives Belldandy and Urd power over Marller, the goddesses don't even seem to notice the theft. But fans of the series aren't likely to worry about plot points. –Charles Solomon for Amazon.com
