I just called Advfilms and they told me that this complete collection of DNAngel does have original Japanese Audio with english subtitles, it's so great:)
DNAngel is one of the best animes, the story, songs, music, art and design are so great, I totally love this anime:)
My favorite songs of it are True light and Caged bird, so touching, so beautiful.
DNAngel, I would rate it million stars if there could have!!:)

P.S. The complete collection does NOT have the extras on the Discs, if you like the songs and features, you might have to purchase the individual DVDs.

I bought this box set today & it does have the Japanese audio(2.0) beside English dubbed audio(5.1) Stephan!So its different from what you expected!About the product,5DVDs each in a thin DVD case contain all 26episodes & all packed in a box set.The only thing this set lacks is having any extra stuffs!Thats cuz they compressed 7DVDs to 5DVDs! lol
The Anime itself doesn't need any explanation the Manga was 1 of the best sellers ever!
So go ahead & enjoy

Now then let me first say that I've been a big fan of D. N. Angle since the manga was first previewed in new type four or five years ago. Add to this is that I've pretty much engraved every manga to come out into me perminately memory. I rented this series because I wanted to know how everything ended.

D. N. Angle is a good series, no doubt but I'm having trouble reviewing this one objectively for a few reasons. One is I just can't help but compare the manga version to the anime version. Two is the differences annoy and infuriate me.

Well lets start off the review with the englich voice acting which is good not great, I've heard better but it's descent. Two is animation, which is kind of odd, it his smooth but not fluid. This is probably because of the way it was directed with the camera constantly changing direction and refocusing of things, zooming in and out. Character designs are okay most are shallow but still somewhat likable. The music with all honesty was pretty good, not the best I've heard but still pretty good. The plot has quite a few twists that will keep you guessing. The ending felt rushed and lacking leaving you thinking wait that's it?


Now as you have probably noticed I personally did not really like this show. Mostly because of the huge difference in the anime and manga. This is a review for everyone that's read the manga like me and are thinking about buying this one. First the focus' are completely different. The anime mainly focus' on Daisake being the phantom thief and pretty much breezes over everything else, mean most of the first half of the series is just him doing jobs. The relationships which are the focus of the manga don't really start until about half way threw and then at a snails pace. In the manga Risa is betrayed as a brave and devoted girl that though selfish does care about Riku, other then that a normal girl. In the anime Risa is betrayed as more of a selfish, flake leaving you wondering what Daisake saw in her. Also in the manga Satoshi and Daisake are rather close even stated that Satoshi feelings of friendship towards Daisake are what causes him to transform. Another huge difference is that in the manga Daisake's feelings for Risa are kinda glossed over where as his relationship with Riku though romantic is like a wine that gets richer with time. In fact the last manga to come out had him wanting to save Risa from her situation not so much for his own feelings for her but because of the suffering it caused Riku. In the anime it's the reverse Daisake spends most of his time crushing on Risa and ignoring Riku all together. Another difference is that in the manga Dark is a far more tragic character, being able to love but never truly being able to be loved in return and eventually losing his love to his best friend, the one he's possessing then disappearing never to see them again. Also Dark's and Daisake's relationhip is far different in the two versions. In the manga Daisake and Dark are rather good friends with most of the comedy stemming from the two jeering each other or trying to keep their secret when they keep transforming at awkward times. The two act more like brothers then anything. Another jarring difference in the versions is in the manga Daisake's klutziness is an act which Riku notices, he actually is quite agile and graceful as well as sensitive where as in the anime he's a complete klutz/bonehead. Also Daisake's dad is the resident art/legend know it all and shows up a lot more and generally is more of the help.

Any way when everything's said and done I suggest you rent this one. If you can go get the manga it's much better, is unending at this point.

I got to admit that Amazon overpriced this item, but you wont tegret buying this item. This anime is about a boy named Daisuke Niwa who is has a special gene condition that whenever he sees this crush, Risa Harada, he turns into a famous phantom thief Dark Mousy. It is a rare magical boy anime & one of my favorite anime ever! I only rated it 4 stars because it is overpriced. But trust me, once you buy this item, you would want to watch it over & over again.

I was like a lot of you. I read the first three volumes of the manga and was intrigued on how the anime was. I read other reviews online about this box set and most said they were not disappointed. This product was very satisfactory. You can watch it in Japanese or english. Alothough lacking in features, I just got it for the show itself. Overall, I was very pleased with my purchase. It has been an awesome series. Check it out if you have time.

Also try watching:
Naruto (Incredible, my most favorite)
Inuyasha
Full Metal Panic

First,I would like to clarify that the anime is completely different to the manga. I suggest to watch this anime as if you've never read the manga.

The series is really interesting overall, but the first 10 to 12 episodes seemed to me like the film makers had little clue as to how they wanted the series to proceed; there's almost no coherence between the episodes. Even Dark, who's one of the central characters, doesn't get much of the spotlight (or doesn't appear at all for a couple of episodes).

Fortunately, at some point, the series starts to flow smoothly & have coherence; also, it starts to follow a main plot(it's also the point when I started to love the series). The ending is very good! For the last episodes I was really hooked.

Overall, the series is entertaining, but a bit childish (a bit different from the manga perspective). If you're expecting it to be a bit dark like the manga, don't buy it. Before buying the anime, I suggest to try to rent it or borrow it to see if it really is of your liking.

this is a very good anime and I recomend you buy it. Its about a 14-year-old boy named Disuke,who inherits a "other self",who is a phantom thief who steals art.It has some action and comedy,but mostly romance.It contains no nudity(only a swimsuit),very little cussing(D word said rarely,but said),1,2,or 3 brief kissing scenes total(out of 26 episodes),and some violence.No blood.I urge any anime fan who likes romance to buy this series.Do it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

I've only read a little of the manga, but I was far more intrigued by the anime. The anime is very good and it has a wonderful ending. The characters are deep and intriguing. The action kept me on the edge of my seat. But I'm a romantic at heart and there was plenty of human drama and sweetness, and enough comedy to balance out the heavy plot.

I watched it in both English and Japanese. Daisuke and Satoshi I liked both in English and Japanese, but Dark I actually preferred in English. Risa I absolutely couldn't stand in English. Riku was fine in English, but I liked her better in Japanese. All the other characters were fine in either language.

The only thing I didn't like about it was the inconsistency of the plot pacing. It seems to drag out for a long time with all the thefts, but when we get to the end, it just rushes into a conclusion. But is an overall good purchase. The DVDs themselves lack only the commentary from the English cast that were on previous DVDs.

D.N.Angel gets an excellent review from me and I'll end up watching it for quite awhile.

What more can I say? The music, storyline (though off plot at times)and art are all spectacular. The romance near the end of the series is also good (You feel happy for Dai that hes finally able to see)I wouldnt say the same for Dark and Risa...a bit annoying actually. But like all good animes the characters grow and develop (which includes Risa!) so it isnt too bad. But to spend $80 dollars on? Im not sure.

For those who are looking to buy this just so they can watch it (since Anime Network on On Demand moves slowly when updating)then you are really wasting your money. You should check out [...] it has the complete series (each episode split into 3 parts)and its in Japanese with english subs.

But on the other hand if you're a collector then buy it. You can watch it again and again and itll be added to your collection of animes.

Whatever you choose this anime is very good (and recent too!)you wont be dissapointed. ^-^

I haven't bought the DVD collection yet, so I can't say much for the DVD itself, but I have seen the anime. The first 10 or so episodes struck me as very random, and unconnecting. It's very different from the manga, in which the plot is fairly obvious from the beginning. But besides this, I have no complaints. The animation is very smooth, and it's easy to see what going on, even in scenes with a lot of action (like the fights between Krad and Dark). It really isn't a "kid's" anime, since there are some... misunderstandings *cough*, and a bit of swearing (nothing you won't hear in a public school, but it's still there XD). Overall, entertaining and interesting to watch (a lot of the comedy is laugh out loud funny), if a somewhat bittersweet ending.
If you enjoy the anime, definitely pick up the manga (there are 10 volumes published in English so far, with the 11th on the way).
