    The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil

    Masatora Akutsu is a demon who has been sent to Earth to recruit humans to help in Hell's war against Heaven. He falls in love with Lily Amane, a girl he is hoping to recruit but unfortunately for him she is an angel with the job of hunting demons. She defeats him but rather than killing him she enslaves him; the collar she forces him to wear makes him do whatever she commands. As the series progresses they grow closer to each other; perhaps he will be able to use her to change Heaven.

    I thought this was a fun enough series. The sort one enjoys while watching then forgets once one starts watching something new. The plot is decent enough if not the most original and the characters are likeable. The animation is good as are the character designs. There is some decent action, particularly when Lily's brother shows up. Overall; not a must see but fun enough.

    These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

    Heavenly Match? Angel and Devil Tango in The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil

    Don't be fooled by Kanaten's familiar premise! It takes the classic Romeo and Juliet "enemies to lovers" trope with angels and demons, but flips it on its head. As a long-time manga reader (almost five years!), I was initially worried the anime adaptation might butcher the story. Thankfully, my fears were unfounded! Kanaten is a fantastic adaptation that goes above and beyond my expectations.

    Kanaten is a surprising blend of genres! It starts as a straightforward rom-com with action thrown in, but it excels in each area. Akutsu and Lily's romance feels totally believable, their chemistry sizzles on screen, and their relationship progresses naturally. The humor is hilarious - imagine Cromartie High School's zaniness mixed with the playful competition of Kaguya-sama: Love is War. But wait, there's more! The angel-versus-demon fight scenes are surprisingly good, way better than you'd expect from a typical rom-com.

    The anime adaptation is a slam dunk! The characters look exactly like they do in the manga, and the voice acting is spot-on. The jokes even landed better than I expected, translating smoothly from page to screen. The animation is surprisingly good, especially for a rom-com - I was genuinely impressed by some scenes. It's clear the studio put a lot of love into bringing the manga to life.

    Calling all romance fans! Looking for a laugh, some action, and a great story? Kanaten might be your new favorite. Despite being underrated (seriously, it's a 9/10!), this rom-com delivers on all fronts. Whether you're a seasoned anime watcher or new to the genre, Kanaten has something for you. Give it a try!

    Doesn't quite reach its full potential.

    I found this anime to be overall enjoyable to watch, and I liked the premise. The two main characters really lift this show up as much as possible by being written and acted well. I found their dynamic to be fun and believable, and thought the show was at its best when focusing on their relationship. The world building, side characters, villain, and lore were a bit underdeveloped, which isn't the worst thing because what I did care about (the main characters) got enough development. But those other elements take up a significant amount of time, so they do drag the show down slightly for me. I think if you were to check this anime out, you wouldn't be disappointed if you enjoy the rom com genre, but there are definitely better out there.
