Adventures of the Mini Goddesses is one of the oddest spin-off ideas I've ever heard of, and about as "for fun only" as anime comes. Composed of 100% random side stories, this vaguely Tom and Jerry-esque series never breaks from its silly premise--none of the action takes place at full size, Keiichi never shows up, and even Belldandy makes only brief appearances. The result is the anime equivalent of unbuttered popcorn: Comes in bite sized pieces, has no nutritional value, doesn't taste all that great, but is easy to keep snacking on.
Each episode ammounts to a 6 minute parody of an anime or classic movie genre, with slightly SD, 4-inch tall versions of everybody's favorite goddesses willingly cast as the heroes and poor Gan the beleaguered rat drug along as the target of every pratfall. The series hits just about everything you can think of--romance, mecha, baseball, and monster movie, to name some--and there are a number of "sequel" episodes for genres that can take the additional punishment. There's loads of story-appropriate pseudo-drama (with Urd and Skuld happily doing whatever it takes to blow the smallest events up to "epic" proportions), but there isn't a serious moment in it, even for the characters involved, who're just doing it all for fun (well, except for Gan, who ends up with the short end of every stick).
