Ah! My Goddess

- Season 1

(2005)

Nekomi Institute student Keiichi Morisato is ordered by his sempai (seniors) to stay at the club dorm on a Saturday night to take and return calls. A nice guy that people take advantage of, he does as ordered. But when he tries to call his sempai, he dials a wrong number...and his world is changed forever.

When a mysterious young woman flies out of his mirror after he dials a wrong number, Keiichi Morisato discovers that he has been granted one single wish by Heaven in compensation for his life of troubles and problems. The young woman, the Goddess Belldandy, explains the rules of the wish and why the skeptical Keiichi should believe in her abilities to grant it. But neither of them are prepared for the wish he makes, and the consequences that grow from it in plenty.

With the full scope of his wish now in play, Keiichi and Belldandy must find a place to live that a poor college student and innocent Goddess can afford. When Belldandy uses her powers to assist, it costs Keiichi his last bit of cash but leads them to a place neither could have guessed would be shelter...and Belldandy reveals a hidden part of herself in the process.

Now that they are settled in, Keiichi has to return to school...and Belldandy asks to come along. However, Campus Queen Sayoko Mishima sees the beautiful Belldandy as severe and absolute competition that she must crush and destroy...even if it means stealing Keiichi away from Belldandy!

Settled into their new home and settling in at school, Keiichi realizes that he has not been able to express his growing feeling of romance for Belldandy. Afraid that his shyness towards beautiful women and Belldandy in particular will cause her to lose interest, Keiichi seeks a way to declare his love for her...if only he can overcome that inability to express himself in a forthright manner!

A young woman hitchhikes from Hokkaido to see Keiichi Morisato, only to discover that he is living with the "beautiful foreigner", Belldandy. It is his sister, Megumi, who has come ahead of her graduation to find a place to live when she goes to school the following month. The search is arduous, but when the place she finds is too good to be true...it is, and the Goddess Belldandy must take control of the situation.

Innocent of Earthly and Japanese customs, Belldandy is educated on the White Day/Valentine's Day tradition by Keiichi's sister, Megumi. However, when it comes time to give Keiichi his gift, Belldandy finds that she doesn't know what a "romantic setting" is. Unfortunately, jealous Sayoko offers to "help" by introducing Belldandy to her cousin, wealthy playboy Aoshima Toshyuki...who is more than willing to show Belldandy what a "romantic setting" is in his own mind. Aoshima, however, finds out what it means to force himself on a Goddess First Class, Unlimited Category!

The holy contract between Keiichi and Belldandy is unprecedented and unique, but there are those in Heaven who want to see it kept as well as those who want to see it broken...because the contract has caused the Heavenly mainframe, Yggdrassil, to crash and cause havoc in Heaven and Earth...and Belldandy has become ill for the first time in her knowledge. As a result, an emissary from Heaven comes to "assist"...only she does so without permission and with her own private agenda for Keiichi and Belldandy, starting with an otherwise innocent looking videotape!

Now under one roof with two Goddesss, Keiichi Morisato finds it difficult to ride herd on both in order to prevent people from discovering their powers. And it doesn't help matters when both Sayoko and Aoshima, who have seen their power at work, decide to expose them to the world!

The Nekomi Motor Club is recruiting new members, but now there's a new rival club called Four Wheels that was started by Toshiyuki. The motor clubs have a challenge race over who gets to keep their club around. Keiichi and Belldandy get to represent Nekomi in the race, but where there's Toshiyuki there's sabotage. Can Keiichi and Belldandy pull through?

Tamiya and Otaki buy a strange Demons CD from a store. Not only is the music strange, but a spirit shoots out of the CD and asks what wish they want. Not caring they just wish her to go away. The spirit is the demon Marlier (aka Mara), and she's ready to mess up the goddesses' plans. Now that the cat's out of the bag, what will the goddesses do?

While the Goddesses hold the CD that can trap her in Limbo, First Class Demon Marller finds a human to make a deal with, letting her defeat the Goddesses and fulfill her mission on Earth at the same time. And when Sayoko says yes to Marller, Keiichi finds himself torn from his feelings for Belldandy and paying more attention to Sayoko. Will Keiichi revoke the holy contract by saying he no longer wants Belldandy by his side forever, and send her back to Heaven? Not if big sister Urd has anything to say about it!

When Heaven's main computer, Yggdrassil, crashes due to an infestation of 'bugs', a lone Goddess determines that she needs the help of her big sister...Belldandy! However, that help would force the breaking of the holy contract between Belldandy and Keiichi, and Belldandy would return to Heaven...forever! Urd, however, suspects that her youngest sister may actually have another agenda in mind.

Young Goddess Skuld tries to adapt to life on Earth...not! She only wants to convince Belldandy to leave Keiichi and be with her in Heaven always. Jealous of him and his hold on Keiichi, Skuld tries to prove her value to Belldandy...only to run into Keiichi's sister, Megumi, who becomes her arch-nemesis for questioning Skuld's mechanical abilities, culminating in a robot war that splits the Nekomi Tech campus!

Skuld still can't accept sharing her sister Belldandy with anyone, let alone Keiichi. In an effort to prove herself more worthy than him, Skuld decides to build a labor-saving device that will serve and protect Belldandy from harm, the First Class Demon Mara, and especially from Keiichi! However, Skuld is a more skillful mechanical genius than she thought, and the labor-saving device begins reprogramming itself!

Marlier's attacks on the goddesses keep failing so she goes for a new target: Megumi. She takes over Megumi's body, and solicits the help of Senbee, the God of Poverty and generally bad luck spirit.

Club member Sora is entered into an all-girls racing event. Belldandy and the gang help her overcome her fears of driving and of messing up everything.

Megumi gives Keiichi some tickets to a beach resort. Keiichi and Belldandy go, but the sisters tag along as well. Urd tells Keiichi there's an island spot where if he confesses it will be true love. Keiichi tries to take Belldandy to that remote island location, but Skuld has other plans.

Urd makes a love candy for Keiichi, but Skuld suspects something and slips in some additional ingredients. Belldandy consumes it, and she becomes very romantically bold in all her actions and with Keiichi too.

Urd and Skuld leave to do some work back at heaven. Skuld has Keiichi eat some flan which transforms Keiichi into a woman. Now he'll keep his hands off Belldandy, right? Keiichi and Belldandy go through Urd's potion ingredients to find an antidote but the formula goes wrong and Belldandy catches some kind of flu, and it's getting worse.

Skuld admires Belldandy's angel and wants to have one as well. Skuld tries training her skills with inventions. Then something outside threatens the girls and it's up to Urd to summon her angel, but it's revealed that Urd can't because she told her angel earlier to never come out ever again. What will the goddesses do?

Mara retrieves a demonic urn from a cave. Urd's goddess license had been suspended, which motivates her to look for a regular job. But when things go bad there she accepts her demonic heritage and transforms into the Lord of Terror. Big Trouble for Keiichi and the gals.

The Yggdrasil system is in chaos from all the attacks from the Lord of Terror. Urd starts releasing the Ultimate Destruction Program which will not only destroy the current world but allow the demons to rule it. Belldandy decides to release her sealed power and confront Urd. God gives Skuld a Midgard Flute as a last-chance vaccine to stop the Lord of Terror. Will those efforts be enough?

It's the final showdown where the goddesses, Belldandy and Skuld, battle against the Lord of Terror, who has now possessed Midgard. With the whole world at stake, what can Keiichi do to help? Perhaps another attempt at the flute will do the trick, and that almost works, except now the Lord of Terror has possessed Keiichi!Could this be the end of the world? Will Belldandy be able to save her love?

The goddesses are working overtime to restore the damage done by the Lord of Terror, but in order to conserve energy, Urd automatically reverts to her younger form. The more energy she uses, the younger she becomes. While waiting for Yggdrasil to come back online, she is thrust into an unlikely situation with a boy she meets at a playground. Meanwhile, Belldandy and Keiichi work on a cure for Urd's "condition."

Yggdrasil's downtime causes Skuld to become a grown woman. She has until sundown, when Yggdrasil is restored, to experience life as an adult. After escaping an uncomfortable situation with Toshiyuki Aoshima, Skuld explores her newly grown feelings for Keiichi, and asks him to go out with her the rest of the day.
