Mama Megami, the mother goddess and ruler of paradise is retiring. Her successor appoints a young mage named Lilith to be one of her guardians.
Lilith's first assignment is to recruit two more worthy guardians for the new
Mama Megami. Not an easy task, as Stashia, the first candidate on Lilith's short list is
not interested.
Lilith didn't even have a chance to ask the second person on the list, a
warrior named Juliana due to a misunderstanding caused by Stashia's little
sister Rurubell.
Rurubell wants to be a guardian, but Lilith turned her down
due to her very young age and lack of experience.
Meanwhile, Paradise is under attack by an evil goddess who wants to dominate
it, and it's up to Lilith, Stashia, Rurubell, and Juliana to thwart the
attackers.
Megami Paradise Anime Review
Megami Paradise or Goddess Heaven takes place in a world that is populated entirely by gorgeous
females. Men, old hags, and plain-looking girls need not apply.
While MP is by no means hentai, it is clearly intended as eye candy for
red-blooded young men everywhere, with enough glimpses of T&A
(t*ts and a*s) to satisfy all but the most rabid young lads
(and old men who should know better).
There is not much of a story to this OVA -- good girls battle evil girls with
predictable results. However, I believe the same can be said of practically any shoujo anime
extant, and I have yet to see good girls ultimately losing to evil opponents
of any gender.
What makes Megami Paradise worthwhile is the pretty girls, the humor, the
pretty girls, the charming characterization, the pretty girls, the cool battle
scenes, and of course the pretty girls.
If I must gripe, it would be that the very attractive artwork is let down
somewhat by less than fluid animation.
Character movements seem a little stiff at times. There are also too many gratuitous panty shots which serve no purpose other
than to titillate.
Yet there is no sexual situation at all in this anime, the characters just
prance around in their skimpy clothes as if it were the most natural thing in
the world.
The tone of Megami Paradise anime is fairly light. The battles are quite well done, though they are unlikely to impress Arnold
Schwarzenegger devotees. The characters are likeable and very beautifully rendered
(even the evil ones).
I recommend this anime, in spite of its problems, for its entertainment value
and superb artwork. If eye-candy could cause tooth decay you would need to call your dentist
immediately after watching this anime.
Miscellanies: Megami Paradise
Hitoshi Doi, that ever-popular connoisseur of shoujo anime, sums up Megami
Paradise as
"a place where there are only girls. Really cute ones. Even the bad guys
are cute. You got it all: short skirts, panty shots, and slightly ecchi
jokes. Have you died and gone to heaven? Well, maybe if you went to Goddess
Heaven, which is the literal translation of Megami Paradise".
