DN Angel

DN Angel is a romance/part action manga/anime. Now, romance manga/anime aren't exactly what I'm typically interested in, but I got pulled into this anime by an online friend. ^_~ The anime is pretty good in my opinion, and the use of CG in the anime series is something new for me. I actually prefer hand-drawn background [i.e. Cowboy Bebop--I loved the backgrounds on that show], but the CG is pretty cool.

There's also a manga, which was made before the anime, in Asuka comics. It's supposed to be released by Tokyopop by next spring, the last I heard. ^_^ I think I'm going to actually buy them, too.

The story is about a boy named Daisuke [14 years old], who has a huge crush on a girl named Risa. Risa rejects the poor guy before he even gives the girl a love letter [XP]. So, blah blah blah he's heartbroken blah blah blah and THEN he finds out that his family [which has a bit of a magic background, methinks] and all the men in his family took on the form of a man called Dark Mousy at age fourteen. [which I will mention is a very fine man.]

:P This is the fun part. When Daisuke sees Risa, he turns into Dark. Now, in the first episode, Dark develops a crush on a girl named Riku, who is actually Risa's twin sister. [Riku is a bit of a tomboy and she plays lacrosse, while Risa is 'girly-girl'] So when Dark sees Riku, he turns into Daisuke. So I guess you can imagine the troubles. On top of that, Risa develops a huge crush on Dark [who can blame her?] ^_^;;;

And then you can add in some humor and a cute 14-year old genious trying to capture Dark and you've got this anime.

I've read about this anime in Newtype USA, and I am interested in watching it when it is released in the US. The animation quality looks very good, and the story seems interesting enough to hold my attention. Thanks for the review, Rhocke.

Btw, does DNAngel and DNA2 have anything to do with each other? They seem awfully similar. The guy in DNA2 usually's somewhat of a loser with the girls, but when he morphs into his "cooler" self, by virtue of some DNA phenomenon that's out of his control, he turns to be quite suave and quite a looker as well. (Sorry I don't have my facts straight. I haven't watched DNA2; just saw the commercials.)
