In Summary:
Ah My Goddess continues to be a show that I like, but some of that does stem from my original enjoyment of it when the first OVA series was released in the early nineties. It’s a nostalgic property and the anime series adapts the manga quite well overall. The characters are pleasant, the situations simple but fun and it has some really solid animation and designs. It’s easy to understand why a show like this is off-putting to many, but I find it to be one of those titles of calmness in a sea of very busy and overactive shows. Even after powering through this season in two days, I’m still left wanting to see more and wishing there was a third season that adapted more of the manga. This release is solid overall and will please those that didn’t get the singles but wanted to see more of their favorite characters.

People expecting a lot of action or heavy drama will never quite get the appeal of this show. I find it a very relaxing show to watch, and that's something I often want from my anime: relaxation. So, I've enjoyed it quite a bit, but I see where it's not going to be for everyone.

The Ah My Goddess franchise finally leaps to another company with this release and this series in particular has made a few hops. Ah My Goddess has now been released in some form or another by AnimEigo, Geneon, Media Blasters, ADV Films and now FUNimation.
What did Media Blasters release?

DOH! And I own that. I am very sick at the moment so I can blame that for the brain fart. :sweat:
