Амаэнайдеё!!: Кісінің күші мен буддалық жол

Japanese manga series
A second season of the anime, Amaenaide yo!! Katsu!! (あまえないでよっ!! 喝!! ), aired between January and March 2006 and introduces a new antagonist, the fifteen year old girl Kazuki Kazusano, who is actually very affectionate to Ikkou, unlike the other girls. The second season is also more serious and dramatic than the last one, and focuses more on Hinata's unstable powers, Haruka's childhood years and Kazuki's tricks to get her hand on Ikkou's powers. The show was broadcast in Japan with an R 15 rating, which is the Japanese equivalent of a "Restricted" rating. Media Blasters licensed and released both seasons of the anime in North America under the title Ah My Buddha (a title parody of the popular anime/manga Ah! My Goddess), first as six single bilingual DVD volumes throughout 2009, and then as a six DVD collection in April 2010. Right Stuf Inc. has since rescued the series for a complete collection release under their Nozomi Entertainment label in 2014.

The protagonist of the series is the monk in training Ikkou Satonaka, who transforms into a super monk with the ability to perform mass exorcisms for the girls he lives with (Note: In the anime, he transforms from seeing a naked girl). He lives in the Saienji Temple as a Buddhist priest in training with six other nuns: Haruka Amanogawa, Sumi Ikuina, Hinata and Sakura Sugai, Chitose Nanbu and Yuuko Atouda, each of whom represents one of the bosatsu of the six lower realms of the traditional Buddhist cosmology. Chitose is the main love interest and has a love hate relationship with Ikkou which is somewhat typical in many other anime, involving numerous misunderstandings, beatings, and angry tirades where the male is clearly at a disadvantage to the female. A side effect of Ikkou using his ultimate power is that immediately afterwards he turns into an even bigger pervert than he normally is. The subject matter of the series is Ikkou's self destructive power and the powers of the other nuns and their training to control these powers, as well as their (mostly non romantic) relationships.

Two Amaenaideyo Drama episodes (Episodes made just by sound effects and voices, usually put on CD's) were released on the Japanese DVD release at Volume 1 of both seasons. They were made to make the story more easy to understand, by adding stories about Ikkou's life. The first audio drama, also named "Episode 00" starts as Ikkou is on a train. He's on his way to his grandmother, as it is his first time travelling to the Saienji temple. The girls welcomes him, and is very excited to have a boy at the temple for the first time. Well, everyone except Yuko. But the next day at the morning, Ikkou goes inside the bathroom when Sumi already is inside And that makes them think twice about him. The second audio drama is just added as a "bonus chapter" of Kazuki.

T. H. E. M. Anime Reviews's Carlos Ross commends Ah My Buddha girls as being "very cute" but justifies his comment by criticising the premise of the anime for being "barely more clever than anything else in this genre, and in the end, it's simply another lame excuse for a "harem" to exist". Anime News Network's Theorin Martin commends Ah My Buddha for "Generally sharp coloring, occasional funny moment". But he criticises the anime for its "weak English dub, flat writing, insufficient fan service given its focus". Mania. com's Chris Beveridge commends the anime by saying, "It's a good sexy light hearted comedy with lots of good character designs, a solid sense of pacing and execution and a healthy dose of fun".
