Zhana Trifonova Although the story is interesting, due to the length of the anime viewers can't seem to understand it or get into it. The anime is not even finished - it was left with a cliffhanger which is really annoying. The artwork is pretty average. It's not bad, some of the characters are well drawn but overall it is not good enough considering all the other anime out there. Characters were not fully developed or should I say not developed at all. I know little can be done in 3 episodes, but some characters from 1 episode anime are better developed then those in this one. I can't recommend this anime although the idea behind it is really good and unusual it's not executed well.

americanmcgeescheshireca The Angel Sanctuary OAV, the tragic tale of a teenage boy, Setsuna, who falls into incestuous love with his blood sister, Sara. This movie was terrible. I read the manga and thank god its in English otherwise I would never give it a chance. The movie is to vague on everything, the first minute its about Setsuna and his love for Sara and then next Tokyo is blown up and we learn Kira isn't who he says he is(yet its not explained in any sort of depth). And then, at the end we discover Metatron, of course anyone who hasn't read the manga wouldn't know who that was. Put simply the movie makes you wonder to much, its leaves so many loose ends and doesn't compliment the story in any way. I don't know what Kaori Yuki was thinking when she decided to make an OAV. Angel Sanctuary is a beautiful piece of work but this movie was not. I do not recommend it to anyone. Terrible plot, horrible English voice dubs, not enough character development. The only thing worth anything in this movie is Kaori Yuki's beautiful artwork. But again, I would not recommend it to anyone.

fateschild This story is controversial to say the least. Many people are automatically turned off by the topic of forbidden love, but I believe that this is a strength. How many stories ask you to re-evaluate your perceptions of life, love and morality? Don't let this aspect of the story turn you away. The animations are gorgeous and the story is solid. Everything is challenged. Heaven and Hell. Good and Evil. Love. A mature show with complicated morality. I fell in love with Angel Sanctuary the first time that I say it. The only drawback is that it is not a movie and the one disc/tape leaves you with a major cliffhanger. However, if you enjoy this show, the manga form is now available at any major bookstore.

dave The plot is quite interesting,the characters are good.The only thing I don't like is the animation....it just gets on my nerves.It's look over-computerized(real term?)but besides that I recommend it.The dub ain't the worst.In fact the dub lines are exactly the same as the english subtitles,but the voices are rather annoying.Stick to the sub.I give it a 6/10
