zellami said: I don't think they 'ended' it - they didn't plan to make an anime series, except the OVA, which can be considered a tribute to the manga series (its publication, production, or specific releases).
The OVAs and the manga character designs are identical. Why do you think they are different? Except the OVA has colors.
As hilarious as the manga is, no one ventured to adapt it all these years. The main reason could be the repulsive character designs (which is exactly the point), but if we consider the modern anime tastes ..., people would take it for some new kink in rotoscoping :D
Anyway, there's a high chance viewers could miscarriage the point ..., so ... keep reading the manga if you liked the OVA or make a wish for some unknown Anime Goddess with a bizarre sense of humor and balls of steel Angel Densetsu to be animated in this century :)
Don't get me wrong, I didn't like the Manga drawings very much which for me it has a lot of differences, not just because one is Manga and the other is Anime, they are a lot different, just the fact that Kitano in the Manga looks taller it bothers a little and his face too is wider in the Manga, but it is still really funny, and im reading it. I started it the first time I watched it, but couldn't finish it for some reason, so I re-watched the OVA a few times, and now im reading the Manga, and hopefully, this time I will end the story.
About the Ova just being an Anime adaptation of the Manga, I think it first was supposed to be a series, because at the end of the second Ova, which is in the real format there were two Ovas of 25m which it was put together on one of 50. So, the end of the second OVA wouldn't need the School Principal to end calling the guy which "fix" problematic students. For me at least it gave a little feeling that it would be continued.
The fact that Angel Densetsu and Claymore are from the same Author, it's true and we can see a lot of the Characters in Angel Densetsu showing up again in Claymore, with the most famous being Iruko from Angel Densetsu which looks exactly like Claire from Claymore, there is no doubt about it. An awesome Author.
