Meet Belldandy, goddess first class with no restrictions and girlfriend of Keiichi Morisato for three years. She is the embodiment of everything good and pure. Being able to see the good in all creatures and help bring it out. She is loved by Keiichi, her sisters, and the members of the Motor Sports Club that she and Keiichi belong to. However when events erased from her memory come back to haunt. She finds herself struggling to prevent herself from becoming a victim to a person who she once trusted. And now she must rediscover things stolen from her or loose the person she loves... forever. |
| When things to
wrong Keiichi and Belldandy are not alone, for Belldandy has two sisters
(both Goddesses) who in the series worked to get the happy couple together
now they must work harder than ever to keep Belldandy, Keiichi, and the
Heavens from falling to a madman.
Enter Urd (Goddess second class, limited), the older sister of Belldandy. Known for a mischievous streak she loved playing match maker when Belldandy and Keiichi were just starting out (much to Bell's disapproval). Now she takes care of her role as Goddess of the past from the home of Belldandy and Keiichi. Now events that heaven swept under the rug come back to haunt as a person whom heaven condemned frees himself and renews his desire to destroy the heaven and earth. Being the Goddess of the past, Urd is the only one other than the ruling council who remembers the long forgotten events surrounding the fugitive and Belldandy. With Belldandy's memory of the whole thing erased Urd finds herself fighting head to head with a madman who should never have been forgotten about. |

Belldandy and Urd are not alone in their strugle. Enter the youngest of the three godddesses, Skuld. This feisty youngster came down from heaven when her two sisters left for earth and never returned. Convinced that they were captured or worse (told ya she was a feisty youngster) she proceeded to raise a little cain before Urd and Belldandy could tell her what was up. Her realm is the future however she spends most of her time tinkering with mechanical objects and hunts "Bugs" (mythical pests that set everything aloof). Skuld's current rank is Goddess Third-class, limited however she was permitted to stay with Urd and Belldandy as she is still in training, and when things get hairy this feisty youngster has more power than she realizes and proves very helpful to Urd and Belldandy in their struggles. |
| The mysterious person who threatens all creation isn't with out help. Enter Morgan. Morgan is a fairy princess who lost her love when she attempted to walk through the Judgment Gate with the love of her life. Unfortunately she and her lover were not prepared for a test of the magnitude of the Judgment Gate, and as a result the two of them were separated... forever. Reeling from the pain of her loss, the main antagonist plays upon her feelings and promises her new love in return for her aid. Now she plays host to a fallen Mentor who's determined to destroy everything in an attempt to create the "perfect society". |

Finally we come to Keiichi, boyfriend of Belldandy for three years. He attends college and is a member of the Motor Sports club racing motor bikes with the support of Belldandy. Living happily with the promise of Belldandy at his side he cruses through the day until someone from Belldandy's past arrives and threatens to steal her away from him by erasing her memories of him. Now he struggles to revive her lost memories and save the joy that the two of them found in each other all the while trying to find out the truth behind the mysterious Morgan. |
| When Belldandy's Mentor
suddenly appears, Belldandy finds herself in the middle of a struggle for
power as her Mentor uses her as a pawn when he infects her with a virus
which erases her memories of Keiichi and flows from her into heaven's
"computer system" throwing everything haywire. Mean
while Keiichi struggles to keep his emotions in check as he re-courts his
love of three years, and keep the mysterious Morgan from foiling his
efforts.
Meanwhile Urd and Skuld work feverishly to apprehend the former Mentor and stop his plans of total destruction. But heaven's true fate lies with Belldandy as she sifts through the thoughts, feelings, memories and wounds hidden so long ago, and her forgotten life of happiness and joy with Keiichi. Will she be able to revive the love she lost and finally defeat her fallen mentor, or will she succumb to the sorrow that now besets her and threatens to engulf her in its endless void of misery?

| The movie starts off cool, attracting the watcher's interest as the mysterious fairy princes y dances across the moon toward the unseen dungeon where Belldand's Mentor lies imprisoned for crimes against heaven. After their intro the watcher is whisked to the house of Belldandy and Keiichi where the two of them are introduced and set off on their day. The movie is a good one which moves at a quick pace and keeps the interest of the watcher. The character development is mostly on Morgan and Bell's Mentor which requires the watcher to have some knowledge of the series as the movie takes place two years after the last episode of the series. The plot keeps twisting and leaving the watcher to guess as what is to happen next (although the ending is a little cheesy). Again the sound is done in Dolby and richly adds to the movie when channeled through a stereo or home entertainment center. Again this is a movie to turn out the lights and the series is a classic love comedy that one can even watch with a significant other. But be warned that ending is a little cheesy for the die hard anime fan. But for OMG fans should prove a treat. |
