If you've read the manga, the anime takes the first three episodes right from the pages. It's a heart felt cute type of romance that is very rare in the anime world. In fact nearly all other series that follow the same vein are either boring, or shameless fan-service machines. By contrast Oh My Goddess strikes a nice balance with its good story and romantic elements. Animation is top notch in quality, although in all honesty there is no mind blowing animation here.

If you've never watched this series (or read the comics or whatever), this would make a good entry point to watch. It's interesting in that this series is oriented towards neither male or female in its approach, as the majority of series are. Still with its overwhelming popularity, it's easy to see that it must be doing something right!
