Angelic Layer/ Battle Doll Angelic Layer

This anime is based on a very interesting concept. It’s one of those battling animes where you send people into battle after having raised them and such. But it’s a very person like angel instead of any kind of creature. They are about the size of a Barbie. It’s a toy, you choose the kind of features you want it to have and create it. then you can battle with it. It’s pretty neat. All the angels look different. I really like their costumes.

The first episode starts out very oddly. I got the dub, but it says “It was an egg with a dream…” Odd right? And we slowly see a clear almost watery egg with a person inside it. And a label that says “angel egg”. Go fig. Oh, and the egg has wings. Then cue intro. The next scene introduces the main character. She’s lost in a Tokyo trains station. When she gets out, she sees a fight going on on a big screen on a sky scraper. It’s an Angelic Layer battle. Randomly, this fairly creepy scientist shows up and gets her interested in playing. Apparently, it’s a build your own doll thing. Kind of Barbie-esque except cool. You can create your own. So basically throws all this stuff at here that she should buy, and she gets it, while mr.scientist is dragged off by security. Good riddance I say. So our lead girl ends up walking to her aunt’s house and not getting there till dark. There, she talks with her aunt. She wants to go to sleepo, but she has to take a bath first (what IS IT with japan and BATHS!!! Does no one SHOWER!) She’ brings the angle thing in the tub b/c it says you’re supposed to. Weird. Flash to a scene at the angelic layer headquarters with a random guy and the head of AL, creepy scientist. he…umm…he put an octopus in minion boys pants…..I was sooo right about this guy being creepy. Back to the girl. She’s staying with her aunt b/c her mom works a lot, turns out that her mom’s hiding a secret, So after her bath, our lead girl works on making her doll.

The animation is very good. Crystal clear. I like it a lot, very aesthetically pleasing. The music is okay, nothing really spectacular. It’ not bad over all though, which is nice, because let’s face it, bad music just sucks and can ruin the anime. Ok, lied. As you get further into the anime, there’s better music, the theme song’s just kind of mediocre. But the end theme is SWEET!!

I totally recommend this to everybody!
