D.N. Angel

I like Dark Mousy he is my favorite hero. Dark Mousy is cool, hot, sexy, buff and butt kicking. Dark Mousy would show his hot, buff body to the ladies that way they would get him. Dark Mousy is a very popular guy. Dark Mousy is 100% hot, 100% sexy, 100% buff and 100% popular. Dark Mousy is one of a kind. Dark Mousy is also good looking. Dark Mousy is also a lady liker. Dark Mousy has a good shirt, pants, eyes, eye brows and hairs. Dark Mousy has a very popular personality and Dark Mousy is 18 years old. Dark Mousy is a very nice guy in any kind that anyone can ever think of. Dark Mousy is also the greatest anime hero ever TV for the first time in a row and Dark Mousy a good guy to hang around with.

This anime was enjoyable to me at some points, but there were really times where i just wanted to get up and walk away.

If you don't have the right determination (or laziness) this show could lose its stuff really fast.

Its about a fourteen year old named Niwa Daisuke who, on his fourteenth birthday, finds out that members of the Niwa bloodline have been, for years, transforming into a thief named Kaitou Dark (or dark mousey, w.e.). It happens to him all of a sudden while he's thinking of his crush, Harade Risa. Its then explained to him the whole Niwa situation and the trigger for his transformation is directly related to the heart. In short, whenever he thinks about Risa, he turns into dark.

There is also a family like the Niwas called the Hikaris, who are actually the sworn rivals to the Niwas. The Hikari boy like Daisuke is named Satoshi, who goes to Daisuke's school under the name of Hiwatari Satoshi. Like, Daisuke, a being like Dark exists inside him known as Krad. Krad doesn't come out when Hiwatari's heart is stimulated though, nope, Krad forces his way out of Satoshi.

The whole routine for the first 13 episodes or so is basically the same, dark steals something, plus a little side mission. Dark steals something, plus a little side mission.

The fun comes back into the series when an American named Hio Mio transfers into Daisuke's school and from that point on, the series is basically addictive.

For your sake of knowing, Risa has a twin sister named Riku who differs from Risa in every aspect but her face.

Good show, though standing back and looking at it, it could be considered shojo. I'll give it an 8.

It's been a while since I've seen this anime, so most of the finer details are a bit fuzzy. Please keep this in mind as I rip this series apart.

Am I the only person who thinks that this anime was spinning its wheels from the very beginning? I watched about half of season one before I gave up hope. Let me start with the positive aspects.

First, I will say that the setup is very well done. The world is well-drawn and full of detail and the characters are interesting. The actions scenes are also very well made and easy to follow.

The main problem I have with the series is that the characters never do anything worthwhile. And I do mean never. In most classic anime/manga/cartoon series (FullMetal Alchemist, Avatar, Death Note), the story gradually unfolds as you watch each consecutive episode. Not so in DNAngel. In this anime, the plot continued to evade me no matter how hard I looked for one.

I'm serious, there appears to be no overarching plot whatsoever. Your anime has serious problems when you can put all of the episodes on your computer, queue them all up in your video player and push Shuffle without losing any plot coherency.

Each episode consists of the same basic format. Daisuke struggles with girlfriend issues. His mother struggles with regret over not becoming a Dark Thief. Dark struggles to come up with new ways to steal some item that appears to have no importance to the plot whatsoever. Daisuke's pet rabbit occasionally does something cute. Rinse and repeat.

I hate to compare this to such a mindless and pointless anime, but DNAngel is a bit like the Pokemon series. It is similar in that each episode is pretty much irrelevant to the ones before and after it save for a few superficial plot ties. You follow Ash and his friends as they slowly progress toward a goal that they will never reach. The main difference between the two is that Pokemon at least gave you a main goal that had to be reached for the series to reach an end (Ash wanted to be a Pokemon Master). In DNAngel, you don't even get the courtesy of a MacGuffin. There is no goal, there is no story, and there is no progression.

If you view each episode as a self-contained story, DNAngel is not a bad anime. In fact, it's pretty good. But if you are expecting a well-told story that you can watch unfold and progress, you will be sorely disappointed.

I have to say, I really enjoyed DNAngel. I went into it, not knowing anything about it. Very quickly I found it quite interesting and funny. I never did get around to seeing the end of the series though. I will definitely have to revisit it soon.

It revolves around a young boy (don't they all?) who finds out he has the ability to turn into a magical thief (Dark Moussey - not sure of the spelling). His powers are tied to another girl that he likes at school. The girl also has a twin sister, and a somewhat complicated love plot involves the two sisters, Dark and the boy.

I found the whole thing very enjoyable.

The anime is all about a boy named Daisuke Niwa, who has a family bloodline that transforms him into a phantom (art) thief named Dark Mousy. He doesn't transform right away when he was born though- he transforms when he sees the person he thinks he loves, and he's 14. That's an important thing to remember. Other important characters include Satoshi Hiwatari (a child-cop), Riku and Risa Harada (twins that play an important role), Dark Mousy (his role is as big as Daisuke's). So this anime is about Daisuke's life, really. I think this is a ideal anime for people who like secrets, and dark. It's good, I give it a 9 out of 10.
