Does anyone else besides me enjoy this cute and lighthearted series?
It's just....so cute! x3 I used to hate it because it was so easy to figure out what was going to happen, but then I got addicted as it went along. If anyone has objections to the plot, please keep in mind that it's only a series for younger ones to watch, hence why it's so simple. So don't diss the simplicity of the plot.

Wikipedia
Misaki Suzuhara is a seventh grader who just moved to Tokyo to live with her aunt Shouko. After arriving in the city, she watches the battle doll Athena on a big screen television outside of Tokyo Station and becomes interested in learning about Angelic Layer, a highly popular game in which players (called Deus) buy and custom-design dolls known as Angels.
An eccentric man wearing a white lab coat and glasses, calling himself "Icchan", encourages Misaki to purchase and create her own angel.

Even though she's clueless about the game, Misaki soon competes in tournament and is assisted and watched carefully by Icchan.


Let's talk Angelic Layer!!

Who's your fav characters?

Manga or anime?

Katsu's Answers~

Favorite Character-
Icchan. Gotta love the man in the white lab coat xD. I liked Ohjirou and Shuuko a lot too.
Least favorite-
Tomayo. She did NOTHING but annoy me. I felt sorry for her, but she was still annoying nevertheless. Kotaro and Hatako annoyed me a lot too. Misaki could have been better, but one of her character traits was her innonence/naive ways, so that kinda explains her a bit.
Couples-
Icchan and Shuuko. OMG. So cute!!!! x333
Manga or anime-
In all honesty, i did NOT like the manga. :/ I didn't like how it focused more on the battles, there didn't seem much plot beyond the layer when they were fighting. Many people don't like how Shuuko was changed from the manga to the anime, but I actually liked it, it added more plot development and gave you something to work with.
Other?
This is one anime that I don't care too much for the english dub. Most of the characters are cast well, but Misaki's voice just grated my nerves. >_< It fit her yes, but I think they could have chosen another one to fit her even better.

It's been a while since I've seen this; but I must say, I love this anime. ='3

My favorite character is Icchan as well! xD
[With Ohjiro as second. I like Kaede too.]
Least favorite... I'll go with Tamayo.
Ohjiro/Misaki is my favorite couple! =^^=
[Also Icchan/Shuuko. I love that Ferris Wheel scene!]
Since I haven't read the manga, I can't answer the fourth question.

Oooh! One of my favourite series of all time ^o^
I absolutely LOVED Angelic Layer the first time I saw it. I became obsessed with the idea of battle angels and wished that someday a toy company would start producing them. Obviously I was a lot younger back then XD

I liked the anime a lot. It was cute and expanded the manga in really good ways. I also liked a lot of the alterations in character importance and couples. However, I did not like that they took out the connections to Chobits even though it made Icchan and Shuuko a cute couple. This is just because I really enjoyed this connection but I understand why they took it out. The ending battle was the only thing that I absolutely did not like at all. Spoiler: I do not think that Misaki should have one the fight using her MOTHER'S move. It wasn't cool or realistic. confused

I thought it was a really cute touch. Not that I disagree entirely; she wasn't producing new moves using her knowledge and natural talent, but I suppose in a way she was intelligent enough to realise the only way to win was by using those moves ^^;; I just thought it was heartwarming, considering their relationship, plus the idea that her mother was sort of passing on her winning moves, as if the techniques were inside Misaki the whole time.

I loved this series! It's been a while since I read the manga, but it's still a pretty good manga. (and anime) My favorite character would probably be Hatoko, and my least favorite is definitely Arisu Fujisaki.

I've wanted to read the manga for such a long tiiiiime (T___T)
Someone has put the entire collection up for auction of eBay, so hopfully I can finally get a good deal on it. Hehehe.

Let us know if you decide to invest in the series. In my opinion, you won't be wasting a single penny of your money :3
