Ah! My Goddess is an anime television series directed by Hiroaki Gōda, animated by Anime International Company, and produced by Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS).[1] Composed by Himaguchi Shiro, the music was produced by Half H•P Studio with Iwanami Miwa as music director.[1] The series was coordinated by both Hiroaki Gōda and You Watanabe, with Matsubara Hidenori as character designer.[1] The series is based on the manga series Oh My Goddess! by Kōsuke Fujishima, using material from the first 20 volumes of the series over 24 episodes.[2] The series focuses on Keiichi Morisato, a college student who accidentally summons a goddess, Belldandy, and wishes for her to remain with him forever. The season began broadcasting in Japan on TBS on January 7, 2005, and ended its run on July 8, 2005.[3][4] Bandai Visual released the episodes in Japan between April 22, 2005, and November 25, 2005, as eight DVD compilations each containing three episodes.[5] The two original video animations (OVAs), which had not been broadcast, were released on a special DVD on December 23, 2005.[6] In Region 1, the anime was licensed to Media Blasters.[7] Six DVD compilations, containing all twenty-six episodes, were released by Media Blasters from September 27, 2005, and July 11, 2006.[8][9] Each DVD contained four episodes, excluding the first two, which contained five each. A premium complete season box set was released on November 7, 2006; the regular set followed on November 27, 2007.[10][11] MVM Films distributed the series in the United Kingdom, with the individual volumes released between February 5, 2007, and December 3, 2007, in six similar DVD compilations.[12][13] The box set followed on July 7, 2008.[14] Madman Entertainment distributed the series in Australia, with the six individual volumes released between July 26, 2006, and December 6, 2006.[15] The DVD collection containing all 26 episodes was released on October 10, 2007.[16]

Three pieces of theme music were used throughout the series. The opening theme, titled "Open Your Mind" (〜小さな羽根ひろげて〜, Chiisana Hane Hirogete), was performed by Yoko Ishida.[17][18] Ishida also sang the first ending theme, "Negai" (願, "Wish"), used for the first 12 episodes, the special episode and episode 24.[18] The second ending theme, used for the remainder of the series except episode 24, is "Wing" performed by Yoko Takahashi.[19][20]
