The animation is dated and though to be expected from a series made in 93, it is still cumbersome and sub-par compared to the animes of today.
The soundtrack blends into the background, and I can't honestly remember one particular tune that stood out. The Japanese voice actors were especially fitting for their characters, however, and Belldandy sounded like one would imagine a goddess would sound like.
The story wasn't anything to involved or detailed, as you would expect from this extremely short anime series. In fact, one could easily understand the entire "story" merely by watching the first and last episodes.
As to the characters: it is obvious that Belldandy and Keichii were the main focus of the series as Skuld and Urd were not developed in any way and served merely as time filler and comedic side characters and had nothing to do with the plot. Belldandy herself also seemed pretty shallow: she was the typical housewife: content to cook and clean for Keichii and not expect anything in return.
We do know that they spent 9 months together by the end of the series, and perhaps Belldandy and Keichii did more together, but just from watching the series it appeared that all they did together was eat and talk to friends together. There wasn't much development or growth to their relationship on screen. In fact, by the end I wondered how they felt so strongly for each other when I hadn't thought they had much of a relationship at all.
I gave this anime an above-average value rating because it was the first of its genre: a tradition followed (though surpassed) by the like of Onegai Teacher.
I semi-enjoyed this series, but it was far too short to get me involved with the characters and by the end I still felt like I was attempting to get to know them when abrubtly the series ends.
