Eh, I know it seems like my review isn't going to be that good by the rating alone ... but don't get me wrong. I'm a huge fan of Kaori Yuki and was really excited when I heard about Angel Sanctuary. The anime is so different from the manga and I felt like it didn't do it justice. I felt as though...

What can I say about this without being too harsh or too nice. I'll be honest here. I only watched this because I was intrigued by the idea of Setsuna being the reincarnation of Alexiel, but that seems to be where it ends for me. STORY: The story isn't bad by any means, but I did do a bit of rese...

The OVA’s brave, realistic take on an incestuous romance and its flipped morality—casting heaven’s angels as villains—delivers memorable, conflicted characters that kept me watching. Yet the story feels gutted, leaving me confused and hanging off a cliff, while dated visuals and spotty voice work...

A very critical work in my view, as it contradicts everything we are taught through the bible, where the "good guys" would be demons instead of angels. And all the teachings passed by the bible how not to relate to brothers, the work makes exactly that happen, because we are seeing it from the pe...

Angel Sanctuary delivers a perfect 10/10 story that brilliantly combines supernatural elements with taboo themes, proving captivating enough to overcome initial reservations about its incestuous premise. The art holds up remarkably well for its era, the voice acting excels, and the 3-episode OVA ...

An intriguing, attention-grabbing ride that’s exciting yet confusing, especially for newcomers, and weighed down by heavy themes like incest, god, and death. The manga version eases mental strain slightly but drowns in excessive dialogue, while the anime offers no real ending. Mixed recommendatio...

The artwork is genuinely beautiful with realistic character designs and demons drawn from authentic mythological sources, and I respect the creators for attempting something completely taboo and risky. However, I really didn't like this anime - the story about a boy in love with his sister who ha...

This work brilliantly subverts biblical narratives by presenting demons as sympathetic figures who reject divine constraints to "live as they want and love who they want." While the endorsement of incestuous relationships and inversion of traditional morality may deeply offend religious viewers, ...

The beautiful art and fair storytelling made this angel reincarnation tale more enjoyable than expected, despite initial skepticism about the brother-sister romance premise. While the angel reincarnation plot line contains some holes, it remains a good adaptation of the lengthy source manga. Ulti...

Angel Sanctuary captivates with its gorgeous 2000-era animation, unflinchingly emotional sibling-love storyline, and darkly atmospheric score that together create an eye-opening experience. The three-episode structure leaves some character development truncated and the ending confusingly open, wh...

The three-episode OAV only manages “functional” animation and reasonable voice acting, while the second episode finally injects some emotion and clearer exposition. Yet the first episode bombards viewers with unexplained angel lore and a dozen rushed conflicts, gutting the manga’s emotional weigh...

After all that is said about Angel Sanctuary the premise is simple: a mix of Orpheus, Divine Comedy and the Apocalypse Myth set in a futuristic display of Biblical Characters. This is what makes this story so revolutionary, even shocking. There are a series of side stories that include homosexual...

I wanted to watch the Angel Sanctuary OAV because I’m a huge fan of the manga, so my review is very colored by my comparison of the two. Also note that my review is based on the original Japanese audio. My biggest problem with this anime is that it makes much less sense outside of the context of ...

Angel Sanctuary delivers a revolutionary premise blending Orpheus, Divine Comedy and apocalyptic biblical mythology with stunningly detailed and beautiful art that alone makes this OVA worth watching. Unfortunately, the series ends abruptly at the Hades Arc with underdeveloped characters and uncl...

I give apluse to people who can step out of the box and do something completly diffrent, something very taboo and risky. Angel Sanctuary did this, and it by no mean's a good anime, in fact I really didn't like it. I don't know why I strated watching this, I'm not a big fan of deamon fighting anim...

This was a very interesting anime, it keeps your attention and is enjoyable. Its not for people who dont normally watch anime however, because it can get at some points confusing. It touches on several sensitive topics as well..such an incest, and god and death. As for the manga its alittle bette...

Where do I begin? A friend of mine recommended this to me and I was very skeptical. A brother in love with his sister and reincarnations of angels and such? I believed I would surely hate it. But... I didn't. The art was beautiful. The story was fair, although I believe there were a few plot hole...

okay.. angel sanctuary. story: 10/10 when i first read about it, i was turned off by the idea it was incest BUT nonetheless interested. it deviates from the norms of society, you might get a little shocked about it. i'm a traditional person so it was difficult to ingest it to my system. ehe. but ...

Angel Sanctuary Anime Review By: Yuki Kaori May 14, 2019 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 beli...

Angel Sanctuary offers a uniquely twisted experience with its gender-bending characters, three-winged angels, and provocative religious subversion that turns traditional beliefs upside down. However, the English dub completely fails to capture the series' essence, with mismatched voices that make...
