Angel Tales · review
Well, talk about another underrated series. Angel Tales, is a very simple anime. It's just that. No huge plot-twists, no useless drama, useless elements, nothing. It's just a king of a harem anime. Shortly put, our story starts with Goro Mutsumi, a young man with a bad luck. In his past, he took great care of lonely, stray, wounded pets, (in total 12 of them) and they wanted to repay his kindness by being his guardian angels. Simple, no? Art is nothing outstanding, since it was a 2001 anime, still it was not outdated for it's time. Bandai Visual was lovely again. Sound, this is whereanime goes north and south. Pros, some of the angel's voice actors was good and elegant. Some of the angel's... well, was not on the spot. And Goro's acting... I do know it was low on budget and it's kinda hard to find actors for all the 12 girls, so I'm letting it pass. Opening was mediocre, ending was pretty good. I downloaded it to my phone and still listen to it.
Character, this is where Angel Tales shines... yeah no. Like I said, it's a simple harem anime, and with 13 characters, it's clear that one can't develop characters. It's just Goro was a real good guy and remained that way the whole time.
Enjoyment-Overall: Well, it should be clear now that Angel Tales is a simple anime. And other than increasing the girl's number in the harem, it was nothing new. Still, the anime was full of little things that made you love it; like Goro's harmonica, or finding out that he wasn't a pussy despite his first appearence (that was a relief for me, first impressions are bad indeed) or Goro's father's last bow to the girls in episode 12. Anime was full of those little things, and it kinda made you attached to it. Of course it had it's bad moments, but pros over cons with this anime.
If you like harems, go for it. This one was a gold mine for harem-romance lovers.
