About D.N.Angel

If you are hunting for a new action series, D.N.Angel deserves a look (2003). The setup goes like this. The premise: Daisuke Niwa is a clumsy, block-headed, and wimpy middle school pupil who has few redeeming qualities. On his 14th birthday, he finally resolves to confess his love to his longtime crush Risa Harada, but is rejected.

Along the way, in a sudden turn of events, however, Daisuke stumbles on himself transforming into Dark Mousy, the infamous phantom thief, whenever his mind is set on Risa. Though Daisuke is unaware of this odd heritage, his mother is certainly not: since before the boy was born, his mother had been planning for him to steal valuable works of art and let the name of the elusive art thief be. With doubt and confusion constantly clouding his mind, Daisuke finds himself struggling in his relationships with classmates and family.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.
