The 1993 Ah! My Goddess (ああっ女神さまっ) OVA — all five episodes — is available for unlimited streaming on three Japanese platforms: DMM TV, U-NEXT, and dAnime Store. Of the three, DMM TV stands out as the most affordable option at just ¥550 per month.

About Ah! My Goddess

Based on the manga by Fujishima Kosuke, serialized in Kodansha’s Monthly Afternoon, the series follows ordinary college student Morisato Keiichi, whose accidental wrong-number phone call summons the goddess Belldandy into his life. When Keiichi half-jokingly wishes for her to stay by his side forever, the two begin living together — soon joined by Belldandy’s older sister Urd and younger sister Skuld, turning his quiet student life into a lively divine comedy.

The series is drawing renewed attention ahead of Fujishima Kosuke’s 40th debut anniversary in 2026, which will be marked by the “Fujishima Kosuke Original Art Exhibition – 40th Debut Anniversary” at Namba Marui 5F in Osaka, running from October 30 to November 15, 2026. The exhibition will feature approximately 100 pieces including original manuscripts and color illustrations, with an admission fee of ¥1,500 (tax included).

Story & Highlights

After Keiichi dials a wrong number, the goddess Belldandy appears before him. His offhand wish for her to stay by his side forever sets their cohabitation in motion. The arrival of Urd and Skuld adds further chaos and warmth to the household.

The OVA’s appeal lies in the slow-burn romance between Belldandy and Keiichi, balanced against the comedic mayhem of divine magic. Character designer Matsubara Hidenori faithfully captures the delicate aesthetic of Fujishima’s original artwork, and the compact five-episode format showcases the meticulous production quality typical of 1990s OVAs.
