Summary: DN Angel rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: DN Angel is one of my favorite anime. I watched the original Japanese dvd's and was very impressed by both the animations and the CG effects. KRAD is my absolute favorite villian of any anime.

Summary: DNAngel: Beautiful and Mysterious
Review: I have heard so much about this series from different magazines and thought I just had to try it out. Overall Feel: It seems to be set in Italy or Rome, so it gives a historic feel to it. The characters are drawn wonderfully. Also, computer graphics? This is one of the few series that the computer graphics look GOOD with the characters. Both the characters and the computer graphics look really well together, and one doesn't over shadow the other. A prefect match made in heaven. Characters: The character Daisuke is a very believable character. He deals with the problems of every teenage boy. You even start to feel really sorry for him when things don't go his way with the girl he has a crush on. He is also a totally spaced out. He is always falling all over the place. Most of the time that I spent laughing in the movie was at Daisuke. Dark is the kind of character that you either like in the beginning or grow to like later. I think hes great, although, he can be kind of full of himself. Which by the way, is funny to watch. Riku is a great character, I really like her. However her twin sister Risa...now she needs a good kick. If you watch the movie, you will know where I am coming from. Storyline: The storyline is alright. In the beginning you are like " What the heck is going on?" But, I think that is the whole point. It is to leave you wanting more. The whole thing really starts to pick up around the last epsiode (so you have to buy the next volume to see what happens ^_^') Anyways, enough of my talking. Buy the DVD, I think that you will like it. Its a great edition to any anime fan's collection!

Summary: A great new series to get hooked on.
Review: I have seen the entire series, and I can whole heartedly say that D.N.A Angel is a really good series, and worth watching all the way through. The beginning starts off really well- the first episode is silly, and you get a nice introduction to what the rest of the show will be like. The story is just amazing, and out of fear of spoiling anything, I will only speak vaguely. The characters are great. You have the main character Daisuke, and when he turns of age he begins to be posessed by a thief alter-ego named "Dark". The story has many different story lines to follow. There is the drama between Dark, and his rival, Daisuke and an eerie classmate who looks like he either wants to kiss Daisuke or kill him, Daisuke and his all time crush, Daisuke's crush and alter ego Dark, and The crush's twin sister. It may seem like a lot, but it is fun, and because there is so much, there's a lot to make anybody happy. It is also being released alongside the manga, so if you develope an interest and what to expand on the story, reading the manga is the perfect way. Everything about this show is really good. The story, art, music, character developement. There's a lot of stuff coming out right now, and this is definetly one of the better ones.

Summary: DNAngel is a promising series... we'll have to see
Review: I haven't personally seen the entire series yet, so I am not qualified to discuss what I haven't seen. However, telling from the first few episodes, the storyline starts off in the right direction: the
What I've seen for far is that the storyline is open to development, and it sounds as if later in the series we will be understanding Daisuke and Risa more in terms of finding out what Daisuke thinks of himself, and background such as the Niwa family and how he met Risa in the first place.
I also suppose that we will learn what Dark and Krad represent, and, through their story, see Daisuke's development. We very well may see Daisuke confess his feeling for Risa in the story sometime.
My concern for D.N.Angel is that while the base storyline is rather unique, staple storyline systems involving finding objects or transforming characters often lend themselves to repetition. An episodic format would give the audience a story and theme within one episode or a series of episodes, but would not contribute to one (or multiple) grand scenario through the series as a whole. This format is tricky, for example, "The Simpsons" has gained artistic license as each episode is designed to satirize one aspect of society. Other attemps, such as "Dragonball Z", have drawn criticism for exactly this.
The DVD authoring is decent. The menus are well planned, and while there ARE annoying FBI warnings, it is allowed to skip them. The original Japanese 5.1 and anamorphic support makes up for the NTSC interlacing (12fpd->29.97 is such a waste) and the placement of episodes on PGCs, then on tracks (scripts to change to next episode). The extras include a fun audio commentary with Vig Magnogna and Miyamoto Shunichi's production of "(yakuya) ~True Light~", the opening theme.
DNAngel shows promise to be a thoughtful, entertaining series, and I will surely see more of it.

Summary: Excellent anime, dissapointing English dub.
Review: I love D.N.Angel and truly wish that I could give this five stars. However, must of the voices do not fit the character they are given to. I have been quite acquanited with this anime for about 3 months, I broke down and bought it in Japanese, and the voices are excellent for their character. Dark's is deep, and cocky, totally in sink with his attitude. In the english, dare I say that he sounds like a girl? Dark still has the same sass in his voice, but it is just too high, not nearly low enough for an 18 year old. Out of the two alter egos, Krad's voice is the best, although he has a bit of a British accent. Not much, but you can tell in one part when he says to Dark, "Have you gone mad?!"
In the first episode, it shows Dark sealing Krad away. It fades out, to show Daisuke's mother and Grandfather doing a ceremony to him. Disgruntled, he runs to school with barely enough time to grab a piece of toast. His mother, Emiko, yells at him not to go on a date tonight, even if the love letter works. She also says that he needs to be home no later that 27 seconds after 4:52. (<- Quite a mouthful in Japanese) Daisuke boards his ride, all prepared as to what he is going to do. Have Risa board, protect her from the others, look into her eyes where they will enter into a world all of their own, and give her the letter, saying, "Will you read it later?" However everything just goes south from there on. Due to Construction, the ride does not stop where Risa usually boards, so she gets on elsewhere. After, she makes the comment that they are very good friends. Heartbroken, Daisuke sulks through the rest of the day, even taking Takeshi's (<- Who's voice is also to high!)duty of cleaning the art room. However, He grabs the wrong card and has to break into the room. Hiwatari, the only other one who is cleaning the room, catches him, but makes no comment about. Daisuke makes it home, and then has to pass a ridiculous trap that his mother has set in the hallway. He enters his bedroom and sees a painting of Risa that he drew. Something inside him triggers and he starts to transform. Panicking he runs downstairs to his mother. Basicly whenever he experiences feelings of love he will transform into Dark. He doesn't want to steal a statue, however the warning notice has already been posted, so he is forced to go. Risa is watching on TV as Kaitou Dark appears for the first time in 40 years. "Dark" successfully breaks in and unlocks the code on the statue. However Hiwatari enters the room, and succesfully traps "Dark" to the floor. Dark gains control of Daisuke's body and breaks free from Hiwatari, taking the statue as well. On the way back to the Niwa Household, he catches sight of Risa and starts to transform back. Riku steps out onto the balcony, which Dark lands on, trying to hold back the transformation. She screams and Dark covers her mouth with his hand saying that he is no suspicious. Riku breaks and starts crying for help, so Dark leans over and kisses her. End of episode one.
Episode 2 explains a bit more about the Transformation process as Risa announces her new love Dark, who appears to feel something for her as he asks her out on a date. Lucky for Daisuke, he starts to transform before anything major happens to change their relationship.
In 3, a sort of filler with an Unicorn from a painting stealing young children from locked rooms, that happens to take Risa and Riku. Daisuke to the rescue! However, when things turn magical, he is forced to let out Dark out. Dark almost kisses Risa, but Daisuke prevents him from doing so.
Episode 4, enter the bishounen Krad! The episode starts off rather funny with Daisuke dreaming that Risa has made a delicious bento just for him. Feeling very courageous, he hugs Risa and nuzzles her, saying that he will never let her go. Risa chuckles and says that she is happy to hear it. Suddenly, the voice changes to Hiwatari's who says that he won't let go either, for he has taken Risa's spot. Breathing heavily, Daisuke wakes from the nightmare to promptly be teased by Dark that he is gay. (Love Hiwatari, gay, same thing) School progressess, Daisuke does get a bento from Risa, that I think was concocted from poison, pobre Daisuke! Crashing into Hiwatari, he apologizes for it by taking half of the items he was carrying to the storage room, which only happens to be 20 degrees below C. Krad breaks free from Hiwatari's control (Eeeeeee!) and promptly attacks Daisuke, who transforms just in time. Dark makes a mean comment about being lucky that the kid falls in love quickly. The episode ends with Hiwatari saying that he will go away for a while.

Summary: A story you'll love to watch with great extras
Review: I read the mangas (japanese comic books) for this series first, and that completely got me hooked on these wonderful, and utterly handsome characters. The American voice actors are perfect, and I especially love the commentary with the voices of Dasukie and Dark, though it's only for the first episode. The opening music just grips you, and one of the extras is with the young man who wrote the song. The show itself is funny, rather sujective, which is cute as well, and you just feel the characters, and wish they were real somewhere.
I'd recommend this series to anyone, but still read the mangas!

Summary: DNAngel finally!
Review: I'm so excited for this title! I've been a big fan of this series for years of the subbed/ Japanese Dialogue version. I'm sure ADV will do a good job with the dubbed!
Daisuke Niwa appears to be a typical 14 year old boy, until he learns of his families heritage that turn into the Phantom Thief Dark, and rob museums in attempts to seal away mystical energies the artists place on them.
DNAngel is a romantic comedy. Enjoyable for all ages, even though it is suggested 13+

Summary: Of Two Minds
Review: This new entry in the youth oriented segment of the anime market tells the story of Daisuke Niwa, a young, somewhat clutzy boy, who happens to be in love. One his 14th birthday Daisuke sets out, determined to finally announce his affection to Risa Harada and ask her for a date. But fate intervenes in the form of Daisuke's mother, Emiko, and his grandfather Daiki. Not in the way families usually discourage dating, though, Instead, Emiko and Daiki plan to ressurect the legendary thief Dark Mousey who will share Daisuke's body.
This isn't really ill intentioned, but having Dark, who is cool wherever Daisuke is not, as an alter-ego comes with a whole set of problems. Not the least of these is that every time he gets emotional about Risa, Daisuke changes into Dark. To make matters worse, Risa thinks of Daisuke as a good friend, but she is attracted to Dark. And then there is Satoshi Hiwari - Supposedly Daisuke's friend, Satoshi is really a police agent intent on bringing Dark to Justice. Things get even more complicated when Krad (Dark's real antagonist) makes his appearance.
While this is played lightly (especially by the US actors) thise complicated plot mechanism is the means whereby Daisuke comes of age. Rather than flee from Dark's influence, the young boy embraces his 'Dark side,' and the ensuing drame enables him to come to an richer understanding of himself.
This only real hitch is, as other reviewers have noted the dubbing is sophomoric, with the Japanese taking the story much more seriously. This is another time when I recommend turning on the subtitles and taking your emotional cues from the Japanese acting. But from a story and artistic viewpoint, D.N.Angel is worth watching.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST
Review: This series is about a boy named Daisuke, and how his life changes after trying to give his crush, Risa, a love letter and getting rejected. When he gets home he starts to think of how awful his day has been but then when he starts to think of Risa he suddenly feels himself burning. He changes into his other self Dark. Now it is his job to steal artifacts and get his sacred maiden or he'll keep turning in to Dark.
THIS IS A REALLY GOOD SERIES! but i was a little disappionted in the voices of the characters and also how they changed Wiz's name into With. This series also doesnt go excalty like the books(which has a great plot and is aweseome).Still i think this a very good series and would highly recommend this and the manga books.
