Angelic Layer: When it first started out, the story gets you hooked with dolls battling one another in an in-zone layer. i thought that was pretty cool and the fight scenes were well done resembling the same styles used in cardcaptor sakura. as the series went on, the anticipation started getting me impatient and later on too long of a wait, only referring to battle scenes. and the entrance to the layer took up some time, much of like the sailor scouts transforming or using their powers. i would've liked to see the story develop deeper in some way. the episodes with all the waits and pausesfelt like it was just trying to kill time.

overall i still found it enjoyable to watch.
