Shattered Angels: The Complete Collection

I really thought this was similar to Air but somehow it was only similar along the plot lines although a lot of you would disagree. I just found it a bit hard to imagine how an "angel" let alone and Absolute Angel could be a human's "sword". Anyways, I loved this anime and the drama. I'm glad there was close to no comedy in this one (except for that Absolute Angel who was a cat girl, I forgot her name) because that would defeat the purpose of the mood set. The lead characters are Kyoshiro and Kuu and there is a third wheel who happens to be Setsuna, Kyoshiro's Absolute Angel sword.Absolute Angels can serve a human as a weapon of defense or offense hence they are referred to as swords. They suddenly transform into these robots to defend their masters. There is little "science" and "mechanics" involved because I believe this is purely in the realm of magic so don't expect any fancy mechanical terms mentioned like other mecha animes.I rarely watch animes subbed. I love the voices of the English cast. They were appropriately chosen for the characters especially for Kuu and Kyoshiro. I also thought the voice of Kyoshiro's siblings were appropriately casted.This series though is not for younger kids. They gave it a rating of TV 14 but I think it should be for those 16 above because of scenes of nudity and same sex undertones (hmmm, probably not undertones but I will leave it up to viewer to decide). But for shouju anime lovers I think you'll enjoy the joy of new love blooming between the lead and the heartbreak between the male lead and the female third wheel. I said this was a happy tragedy because it is (you have to watch it to figure it out). The series also leaves you guessing about Kuu and what she really is and why Kyoshiro goes to all this length to keep her by his side. It also throws several surprises at the viewer including this reviewer.

Kuu is enrolled in a new school. She learns that many of the students have powers to materialized weapons similar to mecha. There are fights occurring all over the place. A young man named Kyoshiro transfers in and bears a strong resemblance to a man that she sees in her dreams. After saving her from a battle they begin to have a strong relationship.This anime reminded me a lot of My-Hime. It has a very similar story line. The animation in this series is way better though. It's done very beautifully. All the way from the character designs, to the coloration and backgrounds. Like My-Hime it is a very touching and emotional story. The ending is especially tearful. My only complaint about this series is the length. It's amazing that they were able to fit so much emotion into a short series, but if it had been longer it may have bordered on epic. I don't like the word "epic" because it's used way too much, but this story would have been if it had been a bit more in depth. That being said Shattered Angels is a really good anime at a great price!

This series is amazing and the best that i have watched. It was full of action and romance. Through the end of it made me cry and it was so emotional. But besides that it's an amazing anime.

The animation in this is beautiful, as is the music, the character design is very pretty, but then... Kuu, the mainbcharacyer, and even her romance interest, are rather obnoxious, Kuu can't go five minutes without recapping what she's just seen, which would be fine if it weren't for the constant "dear prince, I hope this finds you well" that stars each monologue, and each episode, and for kuu, probably each day, meal, breath and bowel movement(lowbrow I know, but picture her saying that before taking a dump). Whats really interesting in this are all the non main characters, cute, loud cat girl and quiet dude, warrior girl and servant girl and their love triangle with a warlord. Kyashiro is a jerk and Kuu, is an airhead(very pretty name though, despite the meaning.).

The anime its self is great with a really good story line and a great twist at the end. The product arrived in great time as well as condition.The movie is about a High schooler who doesn't feel whole. Like something is missing. She gets dragged around by other people while trying to just live her life but other people have something else in store for her. Is she truely the missing link? Watch to find out and I promise you will not regret it

If you are a Kannazuki fan, you'll be buying this - but beware! This set does NOT come with the cute "special extras" we've all watched on youtube; the painting scene, the swimming scene, the shopping for the shell necklace scene. That said, it's a wonderful (but all too brief) glimpse of our Chikane/Himeko reincarnations, suffering through torture where they must protect one another in heartwarming ways. To the non-Kannazuki fan, I would probably pass on this series as a whole, the main characters are fairly blah.

I would have given this anime two stars; however, the ending was nicely done - I have to amid it made me cry. The lead female character was underdeveloped and immature. The male lead was more likable as well as some other characters. The anime fell short in plot development and presentation of material. There was some beautiful scenes; however, most of the series was slow and uninteresting. It was confusing at times but did clear up a lot of things at the end. The end was beautiful and heart wrenching!The story starts with a girl who meets a boy who reminds her of her "prince". The boys is on a mission to destroy dangerous weapons known as "angels" accompanied by his own "angel". The girls gets caught up in his mission and learns more about her past. Secrets and lies are revealed and characters must decided what they will sacrifice to get what they want.15$ is a good price for an complete series and while this is not one of the better anime it is entertaining and the end makes it worth watching.

Super cheesy, but that what i was looking for

Great

the best ever
