Description:

Based on a manga by Yu Watase (Fushigi Yugi), Ceres mixes elements of standard "magical girl" anime with the legend immortalized in the No play "The Robe of Feathers": an angel descends to Earth to bathe, hanging her celestial robe of feathers on an ancient pine. A man steals the robe, imprisoning the angel, and, in some versions, forcing her to marry him. Sixteen-year-old Aya Mikage discovers she and her twin brother Aki are the direct descendants of an angel (or "celestial being"), and the psychic powers they've inherited make them the targets of a vast, murderous conspiracy. Aya quickly finds herself in a classic Watase dilemma, with two bishonen ("beautiful boys") on hand to protect her: silent, mysterious Toya and cheerful, slightly klutzy Yuhi. Rated 16 Up: Violence, nudity, mild risqué humor. --Charles Solomon
