This movie is just pure love.
It shows the very pinnacle of feelings and emotions and it does so in an unbelievably good way.
It's old-school in a very good way.
Attention to detail, animations, sound, composition, story, characters and everything else is top of the top.
And it's not too old-school, so the art style doesn't look aged, the opposite of that, even nowadays it looks much better than anything modern.
The story is "aww", the scenes are "wow" and the movie overall is "aaa".
You can feel how important and well thought every small detail is.
And, like a good old school anime, it starts easy to not overwhelm you and it goes grand and beyond.
I don't rate a title 10/10 unless it is an actual masterpiece.
This one is and it is about love.

I enjoy this movie so much! Might be a little biased because I really like the Oh My Goddess characters and series overall, but I genuinely think this is a really lovely movie, the character designs are so pretty and the music as wonderful.
Don't get me wrong, within its unique world building, it is full of cliché romance tropes and because of this I do recommend to watch this only if you have some general knowledge of or have being exposed to the series (manga or anime). If you haven't, I would instead recommend to start with the anime or manga before watching this.
The movie is not going to change your life, but it is a very cute story about two lovers whose relationship is put to the test.

A great animated conclusion to bookend the 'Ah! My Goddess' TV series!
This film was the first piece of AMG animation that was seen since the OVA and Mini-Goddess Series back in 1990s and was a real delight with sky-high production values, grand scale, and modern animation techniques, as well as adding wonderful new characters/designs. The plot involved a threat writ large to existence itself and Belldandy & Keichi's love. At the time of it's release it was touted as a sequel to the 5-part OVA series, but has become retrospectively in my eyes, the logical theatrical sequel to the two-season TV series and 'Fighting Wings' OVA/recent OADs. The TV series and follow-up animations mapped out approximately 2 years of Bell & Kei's time together, whereas the film solidly states that it has been 3…

Three years have passed since Keiichi met Belldandy. He is still going to university, still a member of the motor club and still living with Belldandy’s sisters. When a fairy releases a mysterious man from Belldandy’s past from his moon-prison, trouble is incoming.
Unfortunately for this movie, the trouble is heading straight for its plot. The movie attempts a weird merger of rebellion against god, an 80’s hacker film, and a love triangle. Boy, does that not work out for me. The motivation of bad guy Celestin is never made clear, even though he spends a good bit of time talking about it. He wants to end suffering by removing free will? Or does he want to enable everyone to have free will by removing the oversight of the gods? Or does he want to make everyone have the same level of happine…

First off, I'm going to have to say this; don't attempt to watch this film without at least watching the AMG tv series first, as you'll be going in without knowing the basic premise, the characters etc.
If you have already done this, you'll find something quite special here.
As is the usual for AMG, the story can be described as a sappy love story, but only for the cynical. The characters play their usual parts, act as they always do. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
The art is where things take a turn for the interesting. It's something quite beautiful to look at throughout, and never dips in quality for a second.
But I still haven't got to the film's absolute best attribute yet; the music. Composed by Nobuo Uematsu (composer of the music in the Final Fantasy game series), it nears p…

As another installation to the Goddess's series, this film pulls off a lighthearted watching with some intriguing highlights.
The Story::..
The film begins off the bat and I initially thought I was watching some visuals from Millennium Actress as a figure skitters across the moon's surface. What an opening! We see the usual characters and these are introduced very quickly before the main story gains momentum. The first half seems to introduce a tangent universe where things between Keiichi and Belldandy might develop differently but despite the possibility of these two forging a new relationship, it focuses more on the detrimental effect of Belldandy's lost memories. Ongoing persistence is gold dust though, for their relationship is well and truly addressed by the end of the film in a ma…

This is my first my review so forgive me if its not up to line
I enjoy the Ah my goddess franchise very much and this movie is probably the best Anime movie i have ever seen so full of emotion, Drama, Despair action and heart warming with each passing minute i wont give out the plot of the story much since it would spoil u but i would say this the story is one of the best i have ever seen and by the time it ends it will have u filled up with so much emotion from happinies to sadness it is just that good.
The art i found amazing especially this as released back in 2000 so for some it may not seem up to date but in my eyes it is visualy stunning.
the sound is the least im satisfied but im still sastified nonr the less all of the music fit well with the scenes that they play with and u can…

I may have found the AMG (Ah!! My Goddess") OVA to have been unexpectedly pleasant, but was still somewhat skeptical about whether I would like this movie. God I was wrong. This turned out to be a far superior offering than the OVA and exceeded all my expectations.
This was much better because the one of the main problem with the OVA is the outrageous story. The way Keiichi hooked up with Belldandy is totally absurd. But thankfully, with the movie, all of that are now bridge under the water, and we're now simply working on the basis that they are already a couple. With that stumbling block out of the way, the movie was able to operate a lot more naturally and the story becomes a bit more convincing than the OVA. On the negative side, I was somewhat confused by all the sci-fi aspect that f…

I picked this up during a street fair in my town for $4. I've never seen the anime nor anything else except for a few figures I happened to find of Belldandy that I did not buy. Regardless, I thought I'd give it a shot even though I'm more into moé stuff.
I think my general enjoyment was an exponential curve. At the beginning, it was "ok". It gradually went to "interesting", then "awesome", then "holy shit", then "WOWWW." By the end I was enraptured. I think what this movie does is it sends you into the very essence of love and how love can prevail over any obstacle.
I have a natural bias against unnecessary costumes that only add sex appeal. There were some in here. But you know...I stopped caring halfway through the movie. That's how good it was.
Sure there are faults, but I have to r…

First off let's start with this. AMAZING movie! One of the best movies EVER! EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that THAT'S outta the way, let's get on to my review :)
Story:
On a scale of 1-5, I give this a 10. Seriously. The story was so thought-out and well planned that you don't get bored for a second. It is always moving and you can't wait to find out what happens next.
Art:
This was made in 2000 so of course the art isn't going to be like what we see now-a-days in anime. The art looked like it was a mix between between the tv series and the OVAs. I give this a 7.
Sound:
I kinda wish they would've had a better background score for this. The background selections were nice to listen to, but I wouldn't listen to them without the movie. The ending song that the Goddesses sang wasn't that good a…

My goodness, what an unfabulous piece of crap this was! This movie stunk, and I advise anyone with sense to avoid it.
The romance is awfully cheesy and harem-y.
The characters are bland and one-dimensional and totally predictable, especially those too brown-haired losers who are the so-called protagonists, t
The sound was unimpressive, and the animation was average. It played out to me as one extensive episode, not a movie. Movies have a certain feel to them, and it was severely lacking in this so-called "movie".
It just wasn't exactly easy to follow if you hadn't seen the series, but you would get it immediately that the two main characters are in love, everyone else are side-kicks. That doesn't say much about how they work out the plot or anything about subtle nuances. Most of the…

Recently, I have been looking at various series films, without actually watching the anime beforehand. This was one of the films I picked on amazon, and it was the one and only anime that has ever made me cry. The film, while a little OTT in places, was so deep and heart wrenching that I couldn't help but shed a few tears for the characters.
The story, while fairly simple, was charming and romantic. There were a few unexpected twists, some comical moments, and a couple of brief-ish fight scenes, but the main basis and theme here was romance.
The animation, while not fab, was decent and I found it to be quite watchable. Sure, it wasn't as artistic or as sophisticated as animes such as The Place Promised in Our Early Days, but it was decent and held all the charms of anime. I don't think…

This was pretty interesting. The story picks up during a time when everyone is acquainted with each other so there isn't anything new to the characters. A bit different from the series, since there is a tad more action. If you liked the series then this movie is great for your experience. If you didn't like it, then I still recommend this movie. I think it'll change your mind about the title Ah My Goddess if you didn't find the series too entertaining.
Though I loved the series itself, I can definitely understand why a lot of people wouldn't like it. It just seemed to linger on and on around the dude trying to impress belldandy even though he doesn't have to.
The animation is so-so, but nothing you can't be used to already...Not THAT much different from the series. The story is a bit c…
