Kaori Yuki should have stuck to the manga
One of the BEST things about Angel Sanctuary the Anime OVA is its content.
One of the WORST things about Angel Santuary the Anime OVA is its content.
Huh?
It is impossible to take a great, super-complcated manga and make it into a good OVA. Luckily Yuki-Sensei figured this out. It could not make it into a series form due to its content "incestual feelings, male with a female soul, rebellion against earth" 'nuff said.
It is odd to say I got into the Manga because of how BAD the OVA was. I didn't get it at all after the first viewing, but I fell in love with the art work. If you ever see the "Angel Cage" book, BUY IT. It rivals only Mikimoto-sensei's work in character design and detail (see Macross, do you remember love, some of Evagelion and currently Ecole du ciel). Anyways, this OVA does not summarize the Manga or provide an alternate adventure.
It just does an introduction of the characters of Setsuna, Kurai, Sara, and others. It doesn't even get into sevorte or any of the major story arcs of the series.
If you do not like the OVA I suggest RUNNING to the nearest Borders / B&N and browsing through the first 3 books. It is a satisfactory OVA, better than some of the other OVA's floating around on Amazon.
someone once said...
Angel Sanctuary was one of the most brilliant things they'd ever read. I'm not sure who said that, but I'm sure someone did. And, maybe that's the problem. The manga was so complex and lovely and the anime is only a hour and a half. Don't get me wrong, the anime looks great. But, the characters full flat a lot of the time and a great deal of the plot seems rushed.
This anime is beautiful to look at, but by no means perfect. It's a must for fans of the story, but those that haven't read Angel Sanctuary may want to pick something else up at their local anime store.

It was pretty good. But the only thing I really like is kurai. She is just so cute you got to love her.
