ANGEL SANCTUARY ANIME REVIEW
-YUKI KAORI
Overall: 9.4
Plot: 9
I can't actually remember how and why I downloaded this anime. It only consist of three episodes about the war between angels. The opening of the story is really interesting as it mentioned Lilith, who other people believe to be the first wife of Adam. Though along the story, that opening seems to be not related at all. The story actually show a tragic love between siblings, how they tried to stop their feelings and the consequence of falling in love. Apart from that, it was also a fantasy themed anime where war between God, angels and demon exists. A reincarnation of an angel named "Alexiel" who, in the past, opposed God's doing is residing on the body of a high school boy "Setsuna" who loved his twin sister "Sara". Along the way, the angel's sister "Rosiel" keep on trying to anger Setsuna in order for Alexiel to bring himself up. However, it seems that the angel himself want to stay in the body of the boy, having those innocent and pure love.
Characters: 10
Each character has properly introduced even if there's only three episodes of this anime. Though the development of some characters are clearly not visible, others did change standing up on what they really want and feel. In such a short span of time, it was shown how people can change from being discourage on everything about his life to accepting it all and facing it head on. Though not everything end up the way they want, at least they choose to try it.
Sound and Animation: 10
The animation is really great, given that it was created way back year 2000. Every character is too gorgeous and each of their expression are well shown. I love how the faces of the characters are different from one another, adding to the personality of each of them. The animation and music of this story is kind of dark and heavy, so I don't think everyone will appreciate it. But yeah, it's literally too good from the year it was created.
Enjoyment: 10
I love reading and watching Incest genre story. Many will think that it is filthy, and unacceptable, and a sin. But if it is love, it is love. Apart from that, it is interesting how people will stand up on what they really feel and close their mind from every criticism thrown at them. Watching this anime is not exactly fun, it is rather an eye opener. It tells you to choose what your heart feel before you regret it. It tells you that not all decisions you'll make is right and it is fine. Lastly, it show how important it is that you, yourself, will choose the path you want and not anyone else.
Ending: 8
It is confusing, the ending, that is. Another character was shown, another gorgeous character and it will make you want to have more. But you'll know that wanting more meant digging deeper on the dark side of the story. After watching it, the other reviews made me need to read the manga as it is completed in there. Before the confusing part, it seems that the continuation of the story will take place on the realm of God, heaven or hell. Unlike the anime which only shows the present world, our world, human world. I think, the manga is waaay more interesting than the anime.
