Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

As this 1987 TV series concludes, the darker tone introduced in the previous episodes takes hold. Mikhail, the icy boy who kidnapped Nakahito, kisses the prisoner and assumes his true form: a voluptuous female with a regular and a Mark II Angel Heart. Kurumi's Mark II Heart contains both angelic and demonic elements, and the latter are gaining the upper hand, as her vast black wings and increased powers indicate. Her battle with Mikhail only accelerates this deadly process. The scientists from the future and the combined power of the other Steel Angels can't stop Kurumi; only the bond she and Nakahito share can overcome the demonic forces. The ending exalts the power of love over evil, but the suggestions of a sexual relationship between the overripe Kurumi and the barely pubescent Nakahito are not for the squeamish. Rated 17 Up: Nudity, minor profanity, violence, and risqué humor. --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Anime Series Ever, April 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Steel Angel Kurumi - Fallen Angel (Vol. 4) (DVD)

I can sum this show up in one word: WOW! This anime is so great I can't even accurately describe beyond wow. This is a powerful piece of work, and it actually moved me. I know this sounds cheesy, but it's true. It had me on the edge of my seat until the last second of Kiss, the last episode, while all the time I was praying for Kurumi and Nakahito. If you love any shows that are funny, sweet, moving, and have a point, Steel Angel Kurumi is for you! Please buy every single DVD!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bah, that's not a sexual overtone..., September 21, 2004

This review is from: Steel Angel Kurumi - Fallen Angel (Vol. 4) (DVD)

I pretty much took the nudity near the end to be a symbol of purity, but that's just me.

This is a great end to the series. The comedy is pushed aside (but it'll come back later in Encore) for an all-out suspenseful last arc. The story of the Steel Angel Hearts comes full circle as Mikhail and Kurumi battle, releasing the dark side of Kurumi. This is where Nakahito's love for Kurumi and powers are put to the test. The end was touching and left me fully satisfied. Not the greatest anime, but one that I fully enjoyed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Ending to a fun show., October 11, 2002

This was a great show to watch. The ending was fantastic. This becomes an emotional roller coaster ride. It is recommended to have seen the previous 3 DVDs. You hope all goes well as Kurumi attempts to rescue her master. As the disk comes towards the end, you want to slow her down before she destroys everything.

The power of demons begin to surface from the heart of Kurumi. You may think it would become the end of the world. Fortunately, Nakahito would be there to save the day.
