Angel Sanctuary

Plot (From Wikipedia):
Organic Angel Alexiel, who is one of the highest and most powerful beings in existence, rebelled against God when, supposedly, she became disgusted by the way angels were behaving. She was captured and faced with the ultimate punishment of heaven: to have her soul reincarnated into human lives and each of her lives would end tragically. The story follows her latest incarnation, Setsuna Mudo, who is romantically in love with his younger sister.

The war comes to a climax and end when Alexiel fights against her brother Rosiel. Earlier, Rosiel had found out that he is decomposing and that his mind will rot. He went to Alexiel to ask her to kill him before he goes crazy, which she agrees to. But when she is about to deal the killing blow to him, he yells: "Would you kill your own twin brother, Alexiel!?" She then is filled with pity and remorse, so she seals him within the Earth using a barrier of forbidden magic. However, in doing this, she used every ounce of her power and shatters Nanatsusaya (the "Holy Sword of God", that made every bearer before Alexiel go mad with its power and kill themselves and countless others). The result is that Rosiel is now sealed inside Assiah and Alexiel is captured and tried by the Angel of Judgment, Uriel.

For her crimes, Alexiel is sentenced to the most severe punishment given to the fallen: Her body and soul are separated. The body is frozen in an angel crystal and locked away in the deepest depths of angel security on the fourth circle/layer of Heaven, Machonon. Her soul is sentenced to be incarnated into a human mortal. That mortal's life is sentenced to be filled with physical and emotional pain. Every time Alexiel is re-incarnated, the cycle begins anew. But in every incarnation, Alexiel's personality is still present under specific (e.g. dangerous) circumstances, which causes her incarnation to have strange spiritual patterns and powers at times; it is as if the incarnation has a multiple personality disorder. In the storyline, she is incarnated into a boy named Setsuna Mudo.

Setsuna Mudo is a problematic delinquent high school student. To add to his problems, he is also discovered as the reincarnation of a fallen angel, which gets him caught in the complex war between heaven and hell.

My Thoughts:
The plot of Angel Sanctuary was definitely promising. I've always loved plots with angels that are a little bit more mature. I think what lacked in the series was...well...there were only 3 OVAs. Talk about a bummer. The animation was decent, sound was ok and voice acting good. The plot was definitely more mature since the protagonist was in love with his sister and Alexiel's and Rosiel's was also bordering incest. The fight scenes were good but you definitely wanted to see more. I would have enjoyed this more if there were more episodes but unfortunately after episode 3 it was done.

Overall I am giving this 2 out 5. You can watch it and it won't bore you but as I said earlier, this was just too short.
