jennariaAH! MY GODDESS
Genre: Romance
How much seen: one episode (subbed)
What it's about: Boy misdials while looking for take-out, and gets Dial A Goddess. Enter one goddess, who offers to grant him any wish. Because this is Romance and not Ecchi, he wishes for a girlfriend exactly like her 'with me forever' - and gets, well, her. Cue something not entirely unlike Bewitched if Darrin hadn't had a hang-up about Samantha actually using her powers.
This is so sweet. Not sickly sweet, either: it's the straight-up 'awww' kittens-and-puppies sort of sweet. Keiichi and Belldandy seem to move right into the 'comfortable old married couple' sort of relationship, while still retaining the wide-eyed 'really? I get to have you in my life?' sweetness of honeymooners. Given the set-up, it's remarkable how little pervy-ness there is, but it's apparently just not that kind of show.
Overall opinion: I reserve the right to change my mind, depending on how things develop in the show - and since it's apparently a fairly long-running series, that's a lot of potential for things to go askew - but for the moment, I want to see more. ...look, I'm a long-time reader of Cute Overload, I like a good bit of adorable.
*
So, lunch! ...okay, perhaps there should have been a bit more planning here, as apparently I was making wrong assumptions. But all is well, and Kay will in fact feed me as opposed to donking me over the head with a pillow. It was close there for a bit.
