Angel Heart · review

8 /10

As it is mentioned in earlier reviews, this anime is a spinoff of "City Hunter" a four season anime made up of 140 episodes and 6 movies. At first, when I heard Angel Heart was a spin-off of City Hunter I was disappointed because I thought it would start a whole new story without concentrating on City Hunter's story, just bring a few of it's elements back. I was wrong. Angel Heart not only succeeds in continuing where City Hunter left off, it also provides character and relationship development that City Hunter lacked. Story: It starts with a professional female Assassin named "Glass Heart". She haskilled a handful of people and, although a professional, feels guilt and decides to commit suicide throwing herself off a building. But the "Organization" decides to save her by transplanting in her a stolen heart. That heart belongs to Makimura Kaori, Saeba Ryo's former partner. Many things lead to another and Glass Heart decides to meet with Ryo.

The story starts off on a rather sad note, but dont let that fool you. After the first arc the story shows its true colors being a heart warming, emotional and sometimes funny anime. 9/10

Art:
light years different from its predecessor, my opinion is that the art of this anime reflects its emotionality and and drama. It's a really good touch and only amplifies the enjoyment. 8/10

Sound:
I didnt hate the op and ed. Actually I feel in love with the last op as it had an 80's feel to it (I like 80's music) lol. The voice acting was good, but I thought they could've done better. 7/10

Character:
This anime excels in this aspect, especially if you've seen City Hunter. Old characters are thoroughly developed throughout the show while new showing a few things unknown about them from City Hunter. On the other hand, new characters debut in harmony with the old ones while also developing throughout the show. But, as I've said before, this is a dramatic show and it is to be expected. 8/10

Enjoyment:
I enjoyed it alot and I wish this review convinced you to watch it aswell. I strongly recommend watching City Hunter first because it would cause what I like to call the "Fumofu" effect. You would enjoy it without watching City Hunter but it you did then it would only increase the enjoyment.
