About Angel Sanctuary

Angel Sanctuary (Tenshi Kinryouku) arrives as an action anime by Hal Film Maker (2000), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: Setsuna Mudo is a 16-year-old high school learner just attempting to get by without running afoul of his bullying seniors. It doesn't help that he's in love with his younger sister, Sara, who only sees him once a month.

As things develop, there's more to his life than just keeping his head down. Setsuna is ambushed by mysterious beings, angels, and demons, all professing to know his true destiny. The angels say he is the reincarnation of their leader Alexiel, while the demons claim he led them to war against God himself.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
