Angel Densetsu

nicknames★ 10

To summarize this series in 1 world would be HILARIOUS. When reading this manga/ watching the 2 episodes you will repeatedly LOL. Its a shame that there are only 2 OVA episodes to this series as I believe it should be granted more. The manga for this series is long finished and I recommend reading this to everyone. The 2 episodes in my opinion are better than the manga because the artwork on Kitano's face is much better in the anime rather than the manga. As the manga progresses the artwork gets a bit better however. That being said I would recommend watching the2 episodes of anime before switching to reading the manga which leaves off around chapter 4. Story: There isn't too much of a story for this series. It just covers the daily school life of Kitano. Later in the manga small arcs form, but there isn't much of a continuing story. Art: To see a demon in human form, Kitano's face seals the deal for the artwork. Otherwise artwork is a bit out dated, but this series has been out for over a decade. Sound: When Kitano yells out.... all I can hear is my laughter. Character: Kitano is seen as a demon in human form. He is a love-able protagonist as hes never doing anything wrong,and being misjudged by his peers. READ THE MANGA!

After seeing several insufficient reviews about the work, it aroused my interest to write one too, and I find it curious, that people only took the comic side of the work and not its subtext about a chilling criticism about the human look, judgment, fear and values of someone by their appearance. The movie starts by showing Kitano, the comedy here revolves around Kitano being so ugly that everyone associates him with the devil, delinquents are scared to death of him, teachers and principal are terrified of him, ordinary people think he is a psychopath. The work takes place during Kitano's events and the comedy usesthe misunderstandings of judging the person and thinking that he will harm someone. I really like this theme mainly because it is simple to understand and direct, Kitano is the image of an angel, he is simply an amazing person, an angel on earth, he only wants to do good, but he is trampled on, judged, humiliated, people are scared to death of him because of his appearance, this shows not only Kitano's side of not understanding things around him because he is too kind and innocent to understand, but it also shows the contempt and need for humans to always judge someone or diminish people by what they think they are. Kitano in these two episodes is used as a symbol and as a character, the work itself is humorous, the scenes of the gang, who are really bad guys, is explored by taking their own poison, as in the scene where Kitano wants to return the wallet or when he can't hold a tree because he is weak, but the delinquents are so furious with his face, that they don't even understand the situation, they are just scared to death, and it is an excellent way to approach comedy with this kind of misunderstanding, the author is spectacular in this sense. About the symbolism Kitano not only passes a message that deep down people are good, society has different views, but also that the fault of great people being destroyed by others is always their own fault, not yours. It is a spectacular critique in two ova, and is conveyed magnificently, not only changing my views on society, but also about judging someone for something, without really knowing them. Kitano uses and abuses this subtext, with a perfect character who is the perfect archetype for this situation, I believe Kitano is what makes the work so fantastic. After all, who wouldn't love an angel? Certainly not HUMANITY.
