My Thoughts:
I originally wanted to watch this movie with my daughter. But when I mentioned it to her... she showed no interest what so ever in seeing this one. I even tried showing her the trailer when I got it... but she just was not interested. I personally enjoyed this movie. The storyline... while I knew it since I had to read the book in school... was fun. The effects were done well... and I liked pretty much everyone in it. I really can't say how this compares to the book... as it has been many years since I was in school... and I haven't read it since. I do wish Brittany would give this movie a chance. But I know that she won't... seeing the length alone will discourage her.

While an entertaining film...I have seen better. Matter of fact I like the other Debbie Ryan film in this set better then this one (Radio Rebel). The story line keeps my attention but I found I didn't care about many of the characters and found it to be very predictable. I would say it is worth the time put in to watch it... but don't expect too much.

Tom's Random Reviews, a review by Tom

Ah! My Goddess: Season 1
Kosuke Fujishima's unforgettable story of every hapless college boy's dream comes to life! Keiichi Morisato is an engineering student, top driver of his campus racing club, and not very lucky with the ladies. While calling for take-out food one evening, a wrong number puts him in contact with the "Goddess Hotline." One misplaced wish later, Keiichi find himself blessed with Belldandy, the perfect girlfriend and a goddess in every sense of the word. Unfortunately, she doesn't have any idea how to act in the human world, and her presence quickly gets Keiichi kicked out of the dorms. Fortunately for Keiichi, his troubles have just begin!

My thoughts:
Finally I have seen the complete first season of this series (24 episodes + 2 OVAs). I had seen the first few episodes a while ago on YouTube after I had watched the old OVA from 1993 and the Ah My Goddess movie. Then I thought it looked interesting but didn't think it could hold up for a complete 26 episode season. Boy was I wrong. This is a great series, which got better and better with each episode! And the 2 bonus episodes were a great conclusion to this season after the Lord of Terror story arc. I came to love the humor of the series "Adventures of Mini-Goddess" with the meddling of Urd and Skuld which was also true for this series. As a matter of fact, this season has me put again in the mood for anime series (which the last few months was not the case). Probably some of my next reviews will focus on those.
Currently I am rewatching the old OVA and I noticed something which I didn't know before: In the second episode there is a little cameo of Gan-chan 
For those of you knowing this new series: Is it true, that Gan-chan will appear (maybe in the second season). In the Wikipedia article he is listed as appearing in this series with the same voice actor as in Mini-Goddess. I loved his character in Mini-Goddess. But I couldn't find any evidence at all on the net about this. First I thought it was supposed to be the spirit who transformed himself into a rat early in this first season, but it is a different voice actor.

I was couragous and switched to the English dub for a few minutes to see how it is. But I must say: Horrible! Especially Belldandy is totally off. I will continue to stick to the original audio tracks.
