Aa! Megami~sama!

On my way home from school yesterday, I passed by the nearby shopping center to buy another DVD. Lo and behold! I found the entire season 1 and 2 of ああっ女神さまっ! or Aa Megami-sama! or Oh My Goddess! or One of the Greatest Anime Series Evar! \(^o^)/ ~ *woo*

Considering that my brother is still kinda Measles-y and will not exactly go out looking like it, we postponed our family "mall-ing" day and just stayed at home today. I hogged the big TV upstairs, set myself some snacks and drinks, inserted the DVD into the player, and our home entertainment system did the rest (watching anime through surround sound is so delicious).

If there are still people out there not familiar with this series, it's about a goody-good nice guy getting so unlucky and hopeless in his life that he is threatening to unbalance the universe. Karma wasn't supposed to work that way, so a goddess was sent down to him and grant him a wish. Probably to make him happy and restore everything back in order. But he thought it was a prank joke played on him by his dorm-mates and belted out a cataclysmic "I wish you'd stay with me forever..." then POOF! The perfect recipe for a hit anime TV series.

It started off as a typical loser guy with an ultimate babe (she's a goddess for goddesses' sake!) kind of romance/comedy story, then it segued to a magical action/drama series. It was really fun and very gripping, the characters are likable and the story is nowhere near bleh. It even brought me a tear or two (or more), and that's just season 1.

Too bad it's already licensed, so you can't watch it on Crunchyroll... bwahahaha~

And when would that be?

When you're doing part-time jobs? When you're stacked with assignments? When we're in Japan, knowing fully well that pirated DVD/CDs are strictly prohibited there?

Oh wait... maybe you're referring to the 2 weeks allowance after our Nihongo classes before our flight. Yes, I guess that could work.
