 Review: Angelic Layer
Angelic Layer excels in many ways, not the least of which is that while it's a tournament show (on the surface anyway, more on that shortly), unlike nearly every other tournament show in existence, the game being played does not exist in real life!
You see, Angelic Layer is in fact the story of a girl growing up and learning to be more confident in herself, and how the people she meets while playing the game affect her, and how she affects others.
Now, the Angelic Layer game itself is indeed captivating, and the way the game plays out on screen provides plenty of action to watch, but when you realize that it's primarily the vehicle for a character drama, that makes it even better.

He is responsible for many things on the Angelic Layer tournament trail, and takes personal interest in the development of Misaki and her angel.
At first the series seems to be about Misaki learning how to play Angelic Layer and win matches, but the focus shifts as the series progresses, dealing more with Misaki coming to terms with the absence of her mother from her life, and her mother preparing herself emotionally for their eventual reunion.
Also, the origins of Angelic Layer are explained, and its importance in the lives of Misaki and her mother is systematically revealed, answering almost every question beginning with "why" that I had.

 AAW: Angelic Layer Review
Angelic Layer bears most in common with Sakura, both in animation, themes and the nature of the main character.
However, Angelic Layer is a slightly more mature series than Sakura; the protagonist and her peers are older and the more kiddish themes like "friends forever," "believe in yourself" and so on have been replaced with more serious concepts.
Because Angelic Layer is such a public sport you don't see as much innovation as you do in, say Pokemon battles, but the action itself is of much higher quality--pocket sized martial arts.

That craze is Angelic Layer, a high tech game involving two combatants using customized fighting dolls that the players, known as a dues, control mentally.

In the layer, the floor is set up in a grid and you are allowed to move a select few spaces at a time sort of like chess.

 THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Angelic Layer
Comic relief from the somewhat serious sport of Angelic Layer is provided by Icchan and his assistant Ogata, who torment each other with their psychotic "Punishment Game" whenever one of them screws something up (admittedly, poor Ogata gets the short end of the stick most often in this regard).
Angelic Layer is not just the game that the children play, nor is it just about mecha and fighting and slapstick gags.
Angelic Layer is a must see for any serious anime fan, no matter what genre you may prefer.

 Anime Boredom - Angelic Layer anime reviews
Angelic Layer is indeed a repetitive show, but that repetitiveness is inflated by a lack of balance present in this particular volume.
There are simply too many episodes dedicated to Misaki's struggle to become the number one Angelic Layer player and not nearly enough on her relationships and her life outside of this pseudo-videogame.
Of course, that means plenty of showdowns in the Layer (Angelic Layer's term for the fighting arena) for Misaki and her beloved Angel, Hikaru.

"Angelic Layer", song themes, song lyrics, images, and any other indicia were properties of their respective owners.

 RPGFan Reviews - Kido Tenshi: Angelic Layer
Kido Tenshi: Angelic Layer is an RPG based on CLAMP's anime and manga series of the same name.
The standard Layer is a flat, grid-like surface (think a rectangular checkerboard), but later on in the game, you'll fight on different types such as one that resembles a craggy peak where height can affect your angel's combat tactics.
Even if you are an Angelic Layer fan, you'll already know everything that happens in the story, so the only real benefits of the game will be the interactive angel battles, creating an angel, and/or battling with friends in the multiplayer mode.
