The broadcast series DNAngel plays like a junior version of X crossed with Saint Tail. Daisuke Niwa is polite, well-intentioned, and talented, but he's also physically clumsy and socially maladroit. He can't bring himself to confess his love to his pretty classmate, Risa Harada. On his 14th birthday, his weird mother and grandfather tell Daisuke that a family genetic quirk will now manifest itself, and he will transform into the supernatural thief, Dark Mousy. His grandfather's rabbit-like pet With turns into the dark, feathered wings that are de rigueur for this type of anime character. Despite the unfortunate name, Dark Mousy is what Daisuke would like to be: a tall, dashing bishonen (beautiful boy). Risa falls for Dark like a bento box of rocks, but as Dark, Daisuke accidentally kisses her twin sister, Riku, creating an adolescent romantic triangle.

Having created a situation and several characters, the filmmakers don't seem to know what to do them. Many of Daisuke's adventures as Dark have little or nothing to do with his career as a supernatural thief, and the tone of the episodes shifts erratically from mawkish to silly to melodramatic. Although Daisuke supposedly transforms into Dark, the alter ego sometimes appears as an independent entity. Hard-core bishonen fans may enjoy Dark's sultry charms, but most viewers will grow impatient with the unfocused stories and poorly defined characters in DNAngel. (Rated TV PG, suitable for ages 10 and older: mild violence) --Charles Solomon

Product Description

Adapted from the international best-selling manga series by Yukiru Sugisaki, D•N•Angel is a romatic adventure with a fantastic premise. High School hottie Risa has two suitors: shy Daisuke and the magical thief Dark. But the twist is that Daisuke and Dark share the same body, and it's Daisuke's love for Risa that allows Dark to take over! The only way to resolve this romantic disaster is for Daisuke to win the heart of his true love-but since she's only got eyes for Dark, that's not happening anytime soon!

By	D. Johnson "BlueV" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

The Anime itself doesn't need any explanation the Manga was 1 of the best sellers ever!
So go ahead & enjoy

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazon Overpriced This One, December 8, 2006

By	Mysticfree (Laurinburg, NC USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this package two weeks ago and then found the same package at Best Buy for $59 ... not a sale special, just Best Buy's regular price. I am very disappointed with Amazon because they *used to be* a great value and Best Buy was the overpriced store.
