It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I seriously was so getting into this 3 episode anime, I just found that it was interesting to see something different that involved demons and angels! I really liked Setsuna's super form as the Angel Alexiel because really, they both were such bad ass characters. The background of Tokyo being destroyed was incredible like that was the only background I admired, pretty much every background was good too but it was kinda a hit and miss as 2000s quality didn't seem that great for this series.I didn't have really the time to think about Setsuna's and Sara's "incest" relationship because there was literally so much going on with the anime. I've seen a review that the realtionship was disgusting, to be honest, I wouldn't recommend seeing this series if you're easily offended by incest relationships or religious statements. I definately would try another anime if these are the reasons that it would be impossible for you to enjoy it!Also for the ending, I was literally so annoyed that it was loose because I really wanted to find out if Setsuna's soul was able to retrieve Sara's soul from the Hades land and like it was so dissapointing that we were not able to get a chance to see that. I mean if the writers really just wanted only 3 episodes, at least make them a bit longer if they felt they can't fit all in or even add more episodes. That's why I'm giving this just a 7/10 I'm afraid....

I saw this OVA before I even knew that a manga series existed, and fell in love with it the very first time I saw it, as have the friends I've shown it to. We've all gotten terribly into the manga now, and madly check the nearest Barnes & Noble whenever it seems like the next volume is coming out.You have to be a very open-minded person to enjoy and even just to accept the plot the amazing Kaori Yuki has created, as there are many topics sensitive people may find upsetting (incest, God being evil, etc.) Once past these topics, you find a very unique plot, a strange, but touching love story, and characters who you can truly love. Combined with Kaori Yuki's gorgeous art, Angel Sanctuary is a masterpiece. It will leave you desperate to find out what happens next.The only things that were disappointing is absence of some of the background that's present in the manga and the fact that there are no plans (that I know of) to make any more volumes into OVAs. As to be expected, however, the American voice acting is far from fabulous (I recommend watching it in Japanese with the subtitles at least once, as with all anime).I also recommend seeing this before beginning manga, or only reading the first two volumes before seeing it (basically what the OVA covers). If you've gotten too far I have a feeling it'd become just an opportunity to look at Kaori Yuki's pretty art--not that there's anything wrong with that.

Angel Sanctuary is one of those shows that makes people uncomfortable intentionally by twisting around common perceptions. Some people may not like this, but if you approach this anime with an open mind and don't intend to be offended or disgusted, chances are you won't be. Graphically, the show is masterfully done and the blantant, almost disturbingly inverse plot makes it both a wonderful and frightening experience. As far as I can see, it's good to look at things from all sides and to see things from a very rare point of view- for example, from the point of view of a teenage boy in love with his biological sister rather than through the eyes of the masses- and this quality makes Angel Sanctuary both unique and thought-provoking.

I don't know what is the script writer think when made this UGLY AND FOOL LOVE STORY like this. May be the main idea of the story is good enough, but see brother and sister is being lover that's really make me sick, It was so disgusting. The illustration is not bad, but that doesn't enough for me to like this serial.
