Worth a second look...

Initially when I watched this series in it's fansub form, I was only mildly intrigued. I'd had it recommended by a online friend of mine & decided to give it a try for the first 2-3 volumes. While I thought it was cute, I immediately dismissed it after a few episodes as a cutesy anime that I'd complete if I had the time. A few weeks later I was looking for something new to watch & picked the episodes back up to view. Boy was I glad that I did! I immediately became enthralled with the series & collected the rest of the episodes. When I discovered that the series was coming to DVD, I immediately preordered my copy of the first volume.

The story surrounds a cute little girl Noelle who is discovered in a very fanservicey fashion by plain everyman Yuusuke. After some initial confusion, she immediately proclaims that she's his bride & soon after declares that she'll be an angel just for him. Along for the ride is her very eccentric & colorful family, some of which are supportive of her goal, some who are not. Meanwhile, a very mysterious boy and interesting enemy both watch her progress with interest.

The show is very cutesy & could initially be mistaken for just a children's show (which is what I did at first). However, as the plot moves along, the more adult elements of the show begin to appear in the last few story arcs (which unfortunately never made it to dvd). Sadly, due to the terrible marketing & distribution, the final episodes are unavailable in any official format in the US.

Would I recommend this? Yes, but only if you are into very strange, cute, or quirky animes. Some won't be willing to give it the chance (assuming that this just isn't their type of anime to begin with). I would somewhat recommend it to older children, but only if the parents watch it first. The series is harmless, but full of semi-risque jokes & fanservice. May 5, 2008

The cutesy of it...

I've watched the 1st few episodes of this anime and 1st off, it is very cute. I admit I started watching it just because it look so cute!Noelle come across as a hyperactive girl who is madly in love with Yusuke. But somehow, I'm very sick of this anime. Maybe the 1st few episodes are just turn-off slapsticks joke. maybe it is true that theres a deeper meaning to this anime in upcoming episodes but for now, I'd rather avoid this anime for good(I've gone thru 5 episodes and very annoyed with it).I'm not a fan of gadgets, thats one. Noelle's sister seems to be always inventing new gadgets and robots and I personally hate them. And the demons seem to have really long eyelashes, for some reason. If you like cute stories about cute love and very very weird villains,maybe you'd like it. The only thing I like about this anime besides the cutesy of it, is the ending song. I'll probably only continue this anime when I come across an episode with deeper meaning than just "Yusuke! Hug me! Squeeze me tight!" How many times did I say cute? November 17, 2006

Beautiful, bouncy anime

A friend showed me his fansub for Tenshi Ni Narumon, and I instantly fell in love with its pink swirly hearts, wacky characters, and most of all super-hyperactive Noelle. I was so happy when Synch-Point picked up this series. At first it seems real cutesy but I promise, there is substance to this show. The characters are well-established right away, and the fifth episode -- which focuses on Noelle's "invisible" older sister -- is quite touching.

The music is cheery and bouncy, and the colors and animation are beautiful. I mostly prefer older anime, because the new ones all pretty much look the same to me, but this show definitely stands out and I can't wait for Synch-Point to release the whole series. March 31, 2006

Best Birthday Present Ever.

The first volume came out on my 21st birthday. After dealing with old VHS fan-subtitles for years, seeing this series come out on DVD was a dream come true for me. I can't say much about it that other people haven't already in their other reviews, other than this is easily one of my all-time favorite anime. July 2, 2005
