Battlin' Barbie dolls. Well, sort of!
This is a simple transfer from DVD to Bluray (probably just an upscaling), but it adds the convenience of putting more episodes onto a disc, so this series takes just three Blurays instead of seven DVDs.Misaki Suzuhara is a middle school student transferring from the country to Tokyo. As she arrives, she sees a broadcast of an Angelic Layer battle. The idea of Angelic Layer is explained to her by a strange man calling himself "Wiggly I-chan". She builds herself an Angel (think of a custom Barbie, and you'll get the idea), and starts playing. Angelic Layer is a fighting game where the angel owners control their dolls with their thoughts.This series is more than a simple fighting game series, though, and we gradually learn about Misaki as she trains and fights with Hikaru, her Angel. It's this larger story that makes this series a joy to watch.I enjoyed this series as much as I enjoyed Fruits Basket, and like that series, it can be enjoyed by adults and children.

Underrated by many, can't recommend enough!
This is by far my favorite anime of all time. It has a little bit of everything for all demographics to enjoy. The characters are extremely well done, have depth and backstory that makes sense, and there is growth in everyone through the entire series. I loved sitting down and watching this with my daughter. The art style and animation has held up amazingly well over the years and is as much of a joy to watch today as it was when this series first came out. The fighting sequences are well choreographed and they do well to create tension. I'll be watching this for years to come and hope others give it a chance. I prefer my anime subtitled but it's one of the few where the dub doesn't grate on my ears. Great for both types though I suggest subtitles since the dub does mispronounce some of the names.

Great anime
I bought this to replace the original angelic layer box set because this one is half the discs. Now I can binge without having to get up and switch disc's every 3 episodes.This anime is a classic and in my opinion is one of clamp's best works. The anime doesn't follow the manga exactly but its still a great series.

Good quality!
These Blu-Rays came in excellent shape and play well, currently almost to the end of the series with a friend of mine and we've both been enjoying it. No spoilers, but this was one of my favorite shows from Junior High and I'm happy I made this purchase. Quality is good.

The series is totally fantastic
Well the third disc would not load up on my blu ray player but the other two disc’s played great was there something different about it that could be the reason that it would not load up but all in all this an awesome and fantastic series

My first anime on Blu-ray!
Angelic Layer is one of my favorite anime shows of all time! I was extremely happy to find this show on Blu-ray and very pleased with my purchase! Now if only Funko would make Funko pops of the Angelic Layer battle dolls I would be even happier!!!!!!

An Old Classic
Decent adaption from the short 5 volume manga series. After the anniversary of Clamp the Omnibus came out for this title under Dark horse :). Really nice timing for collection sake.

字幕なし
字幕を消せないのが…。それ以外は良いのですが、英語が字幕に出っぱなしが気になります。消せたら5つでした。
