Angel Sanctuary (天使禁猟区 Tenshi Kinryōku?) is a shōjo manga series written and illustrated by Kaori Yuki. Appearing as a serial in the manga magazine Hana to Yume, the chapters were collected and published in twenty tankōbon volumes by Hakusensha from February 1995 to February 2001. It focuses on a reincarnated angel named Setsuna, proclaimed to be the "Messiah", and his struggle against the corrupted angels of Heaven.

The manga was adapted as a three-episode original video animation (OVA) by Bandai Visual and Hal Film Maker; it was intended to be an introduction to the manga rather than a stand alone anime. Originally licensed by Central Park Media, the OVA is currently licensed by Media Blasters. A series of drama CDs based on the other story arcs was also released.

Angel Sanctuary is licensed by Viz Media for an English-language release in North America. The final volume was released June 2007.[1]

[edit] Plot

In this series, Assiah (Earth) and the upper levels of Hell (Gehenna) are mirror images of each other. As mankind polluted and destroyed the Earth, the lands of Hell also began to weaken. Taking advantage of their creator's sleep and the weakening of their enemies, the angels of heaven wage war on the Evil race (a group of demons who have turned away from the Devil, Lucifer and God; they live in Gehenna and worship "Holy Dragon Gods"), wiping most of them out. In doing this the angels fighting the war are corrupted. They commit vile crimes and murders under the name of God and righteousness. This deeply sickened Organic Angel Alexiel. She feels that the Evils are more pure in their actions since they do not put up a charade of purity to cover their crimes. She joins the Evils' side of the war and declares an official revolt against God.

The war comes to a climax and end when Alexiel fights against her brother Rosiel. Earlier, Rosiel had found out that he is decomposing and that his mind will rot. He went to Alexiel to ask her to kill him before he goes crazy, which she agrees to. But when she is about to deal the killing blow to him, he yells: "Would you kill your own twin brother, Alexiel!?" She then is filled with pity and remorse, so she seals him within the Earth using a barrier of forbidden magic. However, in doing this, she used every ounce of her power and shatters Nanatsusaya (the "Holy Sword of God", that made every bearer before Alexiel go mad with its power and kill themselves and countless others). The result is that Rosiel is now sealed inside Assiah and Alexiel is captured and tried by the Angel of Judgment, Uriel.

For her crimes, Alexiel is sentenced to the most severe punishment given to the fallen: Her body and soul are separated. The body is frozen in an angel crystal and locked away in the deepest depths of angel security on the fourth circle/layer of Heaven, Machonon. Her soul is sentenced to be incarnated into a human mortal. That mortal's life is sentenced to be filled with physical and emotional pain. Every time Alexiel is re-incarnated, the cycle begins anew. But in every incarnation, Alexiel's personality is still present under specific (e.g. dangerous) circumstances, which causes her incarnation to have strange spiritual patterns and powers at times; it is as if the incarnation has a multiple personality disorder. In the storyline, she is incarnated into a boy named Setsuna Mudo. Setsuna Mudo is a problematic delinquent high school student, who is in love with his sister (thus producing the emotional pain required by her punishment). To add to his problems, he gets caught up in the complex war between heaven and hell.

[edit] Main characters

Setsuna and his sister, Sara.
Main article: List of Angel Sanctuary characters
Setsuna Mudo (無道 刹那 Mudō Setsuna?)
Voiced by: Kenji Nojima (Japanese), Scott Cargle (English)
The current incarnation of the Organic Angel Alexiel, retaining many of Alexiel's high astral powers. Like all of Alexiel's reincarnations, Setsuna is doomed to live a miserable life and die a slow, and very painful death. He has incestuous feelings for his sister and travels to Hell to rescue her soul, risking his own in the process.
Sara Mudo (無道 紗羅 Mudō Sara?)
Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi (Japanese), Tara Jayne (English)
Setsuna Mudo's younger sister. She is in love with her brother, and is sent to Hell for committing incest with him after Katan accidentally kills her. Sara is the current incarnation of Jibril (Gabriel), the Archangel of Water. By the end of the manga, Sara is brainwashed into thinking that she is pregnant with Setsuna's child, and thinks him to be a monster in his true form.
Sakuya Kira (吉良 朔夜 Kira Sakuya?)
Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Japanese), Wayne Grayson (English)
A six year old who was killed in a car accident. At the moment of his death, Nanatsusaya Mitamanatsurug, the seven bladed sword, appeared to him and offered Sakuya another chance at life, if Sakuya would lend his body to Nanatsusaya. Sakuya agrees to lend his body with the condition that his father hate him so that he doesn't feel sadness after Sakuya eventually dies. Because of Nanatsusaya;s power, Kira can not be killed by mortal means, unless the amulet he wears is broken. Upon his chest is what appears to be a birth mark but is actually a mark left from Alexial's last battle with Rosiel, during which Rosiel's blood splashed across Kira's chest. Kira is Lucifer's current incarnation.
Lucifer
The Demon Lord of Hell, Lucifer was told by God that he was born with only one reason - to become the Prince of Darkness and rule the demons. As revenge, Lucifer planned to rape Alexiel, believing that she was God's "beloved daughter," but soon fell in love with her, and, though he tried to, could not follow through with his plans to rape her. After God imprisions Alexiel in Eden, Lucifer returns from Hell to release her. As punishment for this, God extracts his soul and places it within Nanatsusaya Mitamanatsurug, a seven-bladed sword
Alexiel
Voiced by: Ai Orikasa (Japanese), Suzy Prue (English)
One of the most powerful angels in heaven, Alexiel was loved by many, including Uriel and Lucifer. Disgusted by the corrupt practices of heaven, Alexiel rebelled against God. As punishment for her treason, Alexiel's soul is doomed to be endlessly reincarnated into miserable lives while her spiritual body was sealed inside an Angel Crystal in Eden. Her current incarnation is Setsuna Mudo.
Rosiel
Voiced by: Susumu Chiba (Japanese), Crispin Freeman (English)
The younger twin of Alexiel, once wise, kind and benevolent, Rosiel eventually went insane and became destructive. He asked Alexiel to kill him before this happened, but her feelings prevented her from doing so and she sealed him within the earth instead.
Sevothtarte and Metatron
Sevothtarte or Sevy as most call him is the prime minister of Heaven and the guardian/aide to the prince of angels Metatron, a high ranking Seraph.
Metatron was made in the image of a child so that he would be 'loved by all' but as of now is neutralized by the return of inorganic angel Rosiel. Sevothtarte used his position (until recently) to rule Heaven and the angel council with fear. Though he was being challenged by a guerrilla rebel force.
"The Holy Hermit" Adam Kadamon
Voiced by: Jōji Nakata
The ultimate villain of the story, Adam Kadamon (also called "The Holy Hermit"), is the highest form of being after God. He is a megalomaniac with no real physical form, who created the current universe in order to test an equation that he had fashioned. He "gave birth" to both Alexiel and Rosiel, dividing his powers between the both of them. A imposter Kadamon (known as YHWH) bids that Setsuna free him from his slumber before God realizes his transgression, while the real Kadamon is the Tree of Life, from which all angels are born.

[edit] Development

[edit] Writing

According to Kaori Yuki, the concept for Angel Sanctuary has been with her "for the longest time."[2] As a middle school student in her second year, she found the story of fallen angels, particularly Lucifer, fascinating; she noted that in Angel Sanctuary, she offered her own interpretation of fictional angels, which differed from her thoughts on actual angels.[3] She set the manga in Japan, a setting she had used several times in her earlier manga, and in the "near future," mainly unchanged from present-day Japan.[4] Yuki identified "forbidden love" as a theme of the series—a theme she enjoyed writing about.[4]

Because of the relative success of her then-current serial Earl Cain, others opposed her wish to begin another serial.[5] While Yuki was originally to write and illustrate only ten chapters of Angel Sanctuary, which led her to worry about being able to properly end the story, she was eventually allowed to continue the series.[5] To work on Angel Sanctuary, she put Earl Cain on hiatus, which prompted some fans to send her letters asking her to resume the serial instead.[6]

[edit] Characters

Yuki considered Setsuna an easily understood protagonist, in contrast to her previous one, Cain.[4] According to her, the meaning of Setsuna's family name, Mudo—"injustice" and "to stray from the path of man"—was a perfect fit for his character.[4] She described Sara as a heroine, and considered both protagonists "easy to draw".[4]

[edit] Cultural references

For Angel Sanctuary, Yuki drew on the Christian religion,[7] and occasionally included quotes from the Bible in it.[8] Anime News Network's Theron Martin considered Biblical apocrypha and the Kabbalah to be the sources for much of her concepts and character names; Martin noted that she gave her own interpretation for many of the beliefs, particularly those surrounding Adam Kadmon, and incorporated material not found in the Biblical canon.[9]

She also made references to classicial mythology. The narrator refers to the descent of Orpheus to the underworld to bring back Eurydice, his deceased wife.[10] Additionally, the crossdressing demon Arachne takes his name from Arachne, the weaver whom the goddess Minerva turned into a spider.[11]

[edit] Manga

In Manga: The Complete Guide, Jason Thompson felt Angel Sanctuary's plot line was difficult to follow due to the page layouts, the large cast of androgynous characters, and the "barrage of events and names". However, Thompson felt the story improved after the first few volumes, becoming a "complicated, inconsistent, but interesting story". He also noted the "stylish" and "elaborate" artwork throughout.[8] Holly Ellinwood of Active Anime described the "heavy crossover of religions combined with social issues and personal lines of integrity" as "spellbinding". Ellinwood also praised that art as "absorbing.... more detailed than most, beautifully Gothic even when depicting the most foul horrors" and noted that the series focused on unconditional love.[56] Another reviewer stated: "Angel Sanctuary, both the story and the art, is overly crowded, somewhat confusing, mildly disturbing, and potentially addicting."[57] Manga Life's Kat Collyns praised the "unbelievably pretty" art and "fantastically (and beautifully) detailed" characters. Collyns noted that the issues of transgender characters and incest would discourage readers.[58]

In his review of The Art of Angel Sanctuary 2: Lost Angel, A.E. Sparrow of IGN Comics praised the artbook, describing it as "more of an encyclopedia or compendium for the series". He complimented the artwork, stating,"I was absolutely blown away with each turn of the page, figuring it couldn't get any more brilliant, and was proven wrong every time. If I had any complaint, it would be that the artwork doesn't go on long enough."[59]

[edit] Anime

Aimée Schafer of THEM Anime Reviews praised the artwork of the OVA, but criticized the English voice cast as well as Setsuna's incestuous love for his sister, calling the relationship "completely unnecessary and totally ruined what could otherwise have been a solid and, I dare say, good story". Viewers and fans had other opinions however, and many of them insisted that the "forbidden love" that Setsuna and Sara share makes for an "ultimate story about two people who are willing to forsake everything for love".[60] Theron Martin of Anime News Network found that Angel Sanctuary OVA to be "remarkably graphically violent shōjo fare" which "confronts the central incest issue head-on, handling it in a far less elegant or delicate manner than Koi Kaze but dealing with it and all its potential fallout nonetheless". Martin also noted that the OVA was meant to be more of an introduction to the manga, rather than a stand alone anime.[9] Mania Entertainment's Chris Beveridge liked the animation quality of the OVA, stating: "The look of Setsuna and the others when they sprout their angel wings and use their powers is very attractive, extremely fluid. This is a top notch batch of OVA quality animation from just about a year ago, and it really does show."[61] He described the story as having "its own beginning, middle and end, but an end that leads onto the larger story."[61] Dave Merrill described the OVA as a "pretentious, confusing claptrap; a Frankenstein's monster stitched together out of pop-culture religious iconography and girls' comics cliches, told in a deliberately confusing and obscurantist style designed to conceal the lack of coherent plot, animated by robots programmed to imitate CLAMP; in short, it's angel-winged junk."[62]
