DVD Reviews of Ah! My Goddess, Season 2: Flights of Fancy, Vol. 5 - That Old Black Magic
DVD Review: A mixed bag but good overall.
Summary: 4 Stars
The four episodes on this DVD are a mixed bag for me. Two super episodes followed by two which are, to me in my humble personal opinion, just filler. The DVD starts off with the excellent conclusion to the story arc where urd is split between her good and evil halves. The scene where they sing her back into shape makes me feel moved and my skin tingle every time I see it. The next episode is basically one of my favorite AMG episodes. Is Mara really all that evil? To me, she's a civil servant intent on doing her job. Notice how she freaks out when Hild is about to boil her henchmen. A trully evil deamon would have just said "boil them then" because she really can just get more henchmen. You notice lots of little things like that through the whole show. Yes, Mara is a demon and she likes it, she takes great pride in her work, but she definatley has her limits.
Now we get to the two "filler" episodes that really bring the DVD down for me. I'm sure that there are folks reading this that those two episodes are your all time favorite episodes. That's cool, but they just don't flip my switch. First is the wierd Ninja episode which apparently has great meaning in AMG lore, at least how its portrayed in the Manga I guess. The message is that Belldandy will take any measure to protect Keichi, even defying death itself. Too bad they had to portray this in such a cheesy episode. I still like it though because the cheese has to do with Mara and a cheesy Mara basing her strategies off of movies she's seen is never a bad thing.
But I'm sorry, the last is just cringeworthy. Keichi and Belldandy get lost in an endless void. It just strikes of one of those episodes where the producers have run out of money and time and just have thrown something slapdash together to get the required number of episodes they need. One of my all time favorite programs, "Doctor Who", did the same thing all the time! It seems silly though, in an anime where they can portray anything, they make the main characters wander around an endless white void with a simple wood floor. However, It seems I miss the message of the episode because I'm a guy. My girlfriend tells me that this was a very touching episode because Keichi and Belldandy got to spend so much time together (even dancing together) before they got rescued. I guess I just have no soul. :-) If you have a soul, give this DVD five stars.
All in all though, too much Belldandy is never enough and you MUST own this DVD if you like the show. :-D
