Angel Sanctuary

Review

"Wow!" Was my imediate reaction to watching this OVA for the first time. It had such a great combination of emotions presented. It's a chick flick (So you can watch it with your girlfriend!), but it still has enough action and blood for the guys (no matter how manly you are, even if you don't admit to watching "cartoons") to like it too.

They presented new concepts on war against the heavens, and actually kind of turned the tables, saying how (some) angels were in fact evil. It was a very interesting twist on popular belief that made the whole story very interesting and fun. There were a lot of unexpected elements that really left you begging to see more.

Ah yes, one thing I left out. The music is very catchy (In my opinion) I've been listening to the song Knife of Romance for a long time now, and it's better every time I hear it!

There aren't a whole lot of bad things to say about it, only that Setsuna likes his sister, Sara. Which is just kinda sick and wrong.
The only other Con I can think of is how the story just STOPS! I couldn't believe it, I think I heard somewhere they're going to finish the story. Maybe it's better as it is, but you'll know what I mean when you get to the end of the last (3rd) episode.

DVD Case Summary
A beautiful angel wages war against God - and loses. Reborn as a human boy, Setsuna struggles with horrific visions and supernatural powers. Angels and demons flock to his awakening, spoiling for battle. Will Setsuna lead them to the apocalypse, or to salvation?
