Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy

Introduction The second season of Ah! My Goddess is a great compliment to the first season. With more characters, more romance, and more fun episodes, this series has definitely improved. Story Although the anime lacks a compelling, overarching story, I find the 1-2 episode stories to be very fun and entertaining. Each episode seems to center around a different character but shares a common thread of love and the importance of friendship and family. There are many new romantic developments that occur for side characters, but the Keiichi and Belldandy's relationship does not seem to progress as much as you would like itto. Still, there are plenty of ooh and aww moments as the new relationships are very cute. Art and Sound As expected, the art and sound haven't really changed much from the first season so there isn't much to add to this section. Characters Part of what I like about the series this time around is that they made Belldandy's character more human and imperfect. She gets drunk, her license is suspended, and she gets jealous and upset. Another plus is that they really focused more on relationships and the growth of all the side characters. For example, Otaki, Keiichi's senpai, was a very random character in season 1, but he actually shows a much softer and caring side when he gets a girlfriend. Enjoyment I found this season a lot more enjoyable than the first one. With more growth, better comedy, and a lot of touching scenes, it really leaves you feeling satisfied. Without a strong storyline and many characters to depict, the anime really focuses on creating a lot of fun situations so you cannot go wrong in terms of entertainment. Conclusion Although this season doesn't really bring anything new to the table, it serves its purpose well. It is a very entertaining, light-hearted, comedy with plenty of feel good moments. I definitely recommend it to anyone who watched the first season.

I spent a lot of time watching this anime and I loved every freakin second of it I would watch it again too if it weren't for the worse part the FUCKIN ENDING. The ending can make or break an anime in my opinion but still great anime loved it characters are perfect keichi is totally oblivious and belldandy is a gorgeous angel literally uurd is urrd and everything goes together nicely i recommend

If you’re expecting a serious drama/romance anime, this isn’t the one for you. This is more of a supernatural romantic comedy intended for younger viewers. Aa! Megami-sama! is a fairly light-hearted show that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Goddess Urd’s main weakness is Enka music, First Class Demon Marller's (Mara) Kryptonite is rock music and lucky charms, and our main guy, Keiichi gets transformed into a motorbike in S1. There’s hardly any repercussion from the real world about the use of magic either. Human characters acknowledge that something happened, then ignore it altogether. As the insanity progresses, you'll have to start not caring about how ridiculousthe world is. Initially, I thought that the romance wasn’t bad, until it started to get redundant. Kei has a lot of weaknesses in the confidence department and it improves, but at a snail's pace. He still needs a ton of pushing from the goddesses to even attempt to do something lovey-dovey with Belldandy. It took Peorth four episodes in a row in S2 to get Kei and Bell to even manage a confession. What? Even through all the turmoil they went through to get closer in S1, I feel like both Kei and Bell should know what they're doing by now. As you'd expect, most of the episodes focus on getting Kei and Bell closer. And then there's a handful of filler episodes with side-characters that we hardly ever see again. Queen Mishima made a lot of appearances in S1 and she vanishes after two episodes in S2. However, there are some pretty decent episodes that focus on other lead characters. I honestly feel like the episodes with the spotlight on characters like Skuld and Urd are far more interesting than the main relationship ones because hardly anything truly significant happens. Quoting the ninja in S2, "Belldandy and Keiichi's romance is below elementary school level." Honestly, I’m about half-and-half with the filler episodes. Some of them are fun, while others are downright boring. I wished AMG maintained focus with mostly Kei and Bell relationship episodes dashed with ones about Bell's sisters and their supernatural counterparts. I don’t know if the manga had these lame side-stories, but if they did, they should’ve cut some of them out. The fluff and the lack of solid progression in Kei and Bell's relationship weigh the story down and reduced my overall enjoyment of the show. Other than that, the animation quality is pretty good and the soundtrack is fitting for most situations. With my past affinity with the original OVA and movie, my wish for something more cohesive was ultimately rejected by Yggdrasil in the end.
