Ah! My Goddess: The Movie · review
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 neverdips 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 perfection. It works on such levels that I actively want to seek out the soundtrack cd.
All of these factors put together make the AMG film an exceptional piece of art that is well worth the time of romance fans everywhere.
