First, I would like to thank everyone who has supported us during this past year. We’ve managed to keep surviving due to the support of our guests and to our members. If it wasn’t for your generosity and support, I doubt we would still be here. Our community is ripe full of members who are just looking for a place to talk about their favorite anime and manga series, Ah! My Goddess. We’re the largest Ah! My Goddess Online Community and it’s a distinction not lost on us.

Secondly, I would also like to wish everyone a safe and Happy New Years as 2010 comes to a close.

For those of you who might not have heard about this, Kodansha has released a 90 second trailer for the Ah! My Goddess OAD that is due to be released on February 23rd, in limited edition copies of the 42nd volume of the tankouban manga series. If you’re unfamiliar with what an OAD is, it’s basically a specially produced anime episode that is included as a bonus item, packaged with the manga of the series series.

This is the first OAD episode for Ah! My Goddess and you can preview it here:

Synopsis: Keiichi finds out that the amusement park he once went to with Belldandy is about to close down. He then asks Belldandy to go there with him, to the place significant within their memories. It is a rare chance for the two to be alone together, and Belldandy is extremely pleased. However, Belldandy’s expanding powers are causing the Goddess’ existence to disappear from Earth.

While the unsuspecting Belldandy and nervous Keiichi are enjoying themselves, Urd and Skuld are developing a counter-plan.
