I decided to watch some random animé on Netflix.

January 24, 2013

So I picked Oh My Goddess! and I swear I’m trying to see what possible redeeming qualities it could have, but so far it seems mostly like a fedora kid’s wet dream.

Keiichi Morisato is literally such a nice guy that even little girls take advantage of him
So the Almighty himself takes pity on him and sends a goddess (Japanese/western metaphysics woooo!) to grant him one wish
Keiichi wishes for this goddess (whose name is Belldandy) to stay by his side forever
The Almighty says “Yep, that seems entirely reasonable” and grants the wish
After initially freaking out, Belldandy is entirely okay with the fact that she’s stuck with the mansplaining little bastard forever
There’s a thing called the System Force that intervenes if they move more than like five feet apart
Belldandy constantly talks about how they’re going to spend more wonderful moments together than stars in the sky
When he tells her that his biggest dream is to one day save enough money to build his own motorcycle, she tells him that’s very appealing
Did I mention he is flat broke, totally useless at life, has absolutely terrible luck, and has never been with a girl
She can read his mind and has no problem with him constantly being like OMG I’M NEAR A PERSON WITH LADYPARTS

Has anyone watched this before? Are there redeeming qualities?
