Angel Densetsu

When Seikichi Kuroda—self-proclaimed "guardian" and head thug of Hekikuu High School—hears rumors of a first-year transfer student named Seiichirou Kitano terrorizing his entire class, Seikichi tries to intimidate him through authority. However, things go awry when he witnesses something horrifying—Seiichirou has a face so dreadful and haunting that even Seikichi hurries away in fear.

But despite his menacing appearance, Seiichirou has a heart of gold. Inhibited by his poor communication skills and fear-inducing looks, he has never managed to convey his true self to his terrified peers, resulting in his lifelong ostracization. Now the new guardian, Seiichirou discovers that sometimes friends can be found in the most unlikely places and through the most unusual circumstances.

To summarize this series in 1 world would be HILARIOUS. When reading this manga/ watching the 2 episodes you will repeatedly LOL. Its a shame that there are only 2 OVA episodes to this series as I believe it should be granted more. The manga for this series is long finished and I recommend reading this to everyone. The 2 episodes in my opinion are better than the manga because the artwork on Kitano's face is much better in the anime rather than the manga. As the manga progresses the artwork gets a bit better however. That being said I would recommend watching the ... 2 episodes of anime before switching to reading the manga which leaves off around chapter 4.

Story: There isn't too much of a story for this series. It just covers the daily school life of Kitano. Later in the manga small arcs form, but there isn't much of a continuing story.

Art: To see a demon in human form, Kitano's face seals the deal for the artwork. Otherwise artwork is a bit out dated, but this series has been out for over a decade.

Sound: When Kitano yells out.... all I can hear is my laughter.

Character: Kitano is seen as a demon in human form. He is a love-able protagonist as hes never doing anything wrong,and being misjudged by his peers.

READ THE MANGA!

Mixed Feelings

Angel densetsu is a very peculiar set of ovas of the old toei animation. the genere of this ovas is comedy of situation and his main protagonist kitano how is bouth creepy and hilarious is always the center and star of the show. he remenbere my very much to midousuji of yowamushi peda, that is a very good point in favor for kitano, his seiyuu tobita nobuo do a fantastic perfonmance giving to his character a very funny voice and a likeable personalitty. the other charascters are blank and the only who is worthy to save is takeisha because how kitano think that ... hi is a suicide.other think who deserve to be pointed is his director kaizawa yukio who is also the director of gonijo no gasbell(zatch bell) because in this ovas we start to see that he´s maneged of charasters and comedy shown on Angel Densetsu will be latter pretty similar in zatch bell.

sorry for the gramatical errors, the spanish is my native language and currently i am learning to write and speak english better

Not Recommended

Recommendation: Skip it.

Angel Densetsu is an exercise in how long you can run the exact same joke into the ground before it becomes tiresome. As it turns out, 2 episodes seems to be the far upper limit.

That's not to say Angel Densetsu has no redeeming qualities. The comedy isn't awful and it looks nice, with pretty strong animation and character design for its era. But mostly, you are treated to one joke over and over again, that the protagonist has a scary face and all the tough guys are afraid of him even though he's actually very nice. Occasionally they find a fresh way to ... present it that might get a chuckle, but mostly this gets very boring, and episodes tend to drag even though there are only 2 of them. The protagonist is a blank slate aside from his gimmick, and Kuroda, the first gang leader that he accidentally defeats, is the show's lone interesting character.

It's not really that the show is bad, it just doesn't have anything interesting to latch onto, and when the comedy isn't hitting, it becomes a slog to get through even with its short length.
