These miniature versions of the Norse goddesses Urd, Skuld, and Belldandy have little to do with the characters who made the
i Oh My Goddess
i0 OAVs so popular. Despite the title, Belldandy's appearances are few and far between: the cartoon misadventures focus on Urd, Skuld, and Gan-chan the rat. In the two-part "Snowfield" adventure, Skuld zaps the air conditioner into overdrive, and soon everything in the room is frozen and covered with snow. The trio uses pushpins as climbing spikes to reach the crazed appliance in a clever parody of mountaineering films. Gan-chan unsuccessfully pursues two different lady rats in "The Proposal Scheme" and "Love Me to the Bone." The series is clearly aimed at much younger viewers than the original OAVs, with slapstick humor replacing the curious mixture of romance and the mythology. Rated 13 Up, but appropriate for children up to five years younger: minor slapstick violence.
