5.0 out of 5 stars
I've got only good things to say, April 15, 2009
This review is from: Angelic Layer: Complete Collection (DVD)
Angelic Layer is a fun, heart warming, sweet little series that took me back to my childhood, to a time when the world was not so cruel and harsh.
There are no actual villains in this anime, this will be kind of a spoiler but everyone becomes friends at the end of the series.
Although the plot follows a familiar monster of the week routine, every episode is full of fun moments and nice fighting sequences. Sure, the animation looks a little dated but plot and the fluid action scenes makeup for it.
I must say, I'm impressed with the main four characters in this anime. Their friendship is very nicely developed in the series, you wish you could be a part of it, I did.
Finally, plotwise Angelic Layer may not be too deep but some nice twists and the purpose of Angelic Layer is very well laid in front of the audience. I had my doubts at first but enjoyed the series later on. If you like sweet animes, you'll like this one for sure.

Innocent fun with a ruff and tumble twist., March 1, 2009
This review is from: Angelic Layer: Complete Collection (DVD)
My wife and I just finished watching this Anime and it is pretty impressive.
The quality of the art feels a little dated and the overall production quality is good but not AMAZING.
The story on this is pretty original, and is genuine enough that you can fall into the world these characters live in.
The estranged mother daughter situation is really a situation that seem pretty authentic today.
The finale on this is very satisfying and it will live in a place my wife and I hold very near to our hearts.
I recommend picking this up.
The DVD set doesn't come with anything flashy, but the quality of the packaging and the collectors case is solid.
This is a middle of the road kind of production with a higher than average emotional content.
Its good, and very heart warming if you enjoy that kind of thing. (I'm a big marshmallow at heart so it suites me fine.)
This is more great work from Clamp (Chobits, Magic Knight Rayearth, Tsubasa, and XxxHolic). All good stuff too, especially Chobits.
Pick it up... you'll like this one.
