Line 8: Suzuhara Misaki is the new girl at Eriol Academy, living with her aunt Shouko in Tokyo after growing up with her grandparents. Her mother, Shuuko, has been so busy with work in Tokyo that Misaki hasn't seen her since she was five years old, but she refuses to feel sad about it or look into her mom's whereabouts, feeling that she'd be a burden. Upon arriving in Tokyo, she sees a crowd gathered around a screen playing an intense match between two fighting dolls, called Angels, in a game called Angelic Layer. With some persuasion from a [[Mad Scientist]], Misaki jumps at the chance to get her own Angel and start competing nationally. Besides the twists to the formula, '''''Angelic Layer''''' starts out like a regular shounen adventure series of the same mold. Misaki meets new friends, begins to fight and realizes that she has a vast, incredible talent for the game. All the while, the [[Mad Scientist]] Icchan is watching her progress in the tournament, revealing to the audience the reason that he cares so much about Angelic Layer and about this particular little girl. The manga treats certain plot elements completely different from the anime, which also makes big changes to the battle system later on. Either is recommended, as while the anime's changes make more sense later on, the manga is still quite good. Line 17: Despite the ''very'' similar premise, no relation to ''[[Custom Robo]]'', which first appeared a mere six months after the Manga. {{tropelist}} * [[The Abridged Series]] * [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: See [[Attack Hello]] below.▼ * [[Action Mom]]: {{spoiler\|Shuuko.}} * [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The anime expands the roles of several characters, allowing for more in the way of [[Character Development]]. Line 25 ⟶ 24: * [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Misaki. * [[Attack Hello]]: Tamayo whenever she meets Koutarou. ''Every. Single. Time.'' * [[~~Awesome~~Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Easily Misaki's strongest attribute. * [[Badass Adorable]]: Misaki, Hatoko, and Kaede, at least as Dei. * [[Badass Automaton]]: All of the featured Angels. Line 55 ⟶ 54: * [[Ditto Fighter]]: Hikaru, due to Misaki possessing the gift of [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]. * [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Kotarou. ▲* [[~~Abuse~~Double IsStandard ~~Okay When Its~~Abuse (Female Onon Male)]]: See [[Attack Hello]] ~~below~~. * [[Elevator School]] * [[Emotionless Girl]]: Sai comes across as this. Line 95: * [[Luke, I Am Your Father]] * [[Mad Scientist]]: Icchan is a non-evil example. * [[Mega Manning]]: Misaki/Hikaru, once again due to Misaki's gift of [[~~Awesome~~Awesomeness By Analysis]]. * [[Meganekko]]: Kaede. * [[Mission Control]] Line 102: * [[Mysterious Parent]] * [[Mysterious Protector]] * [[Names to Know in Anime]]: The manga was done by [[CLAMP]]. The anime approaches having something of an [[All-Star Cast]], featuring seiyuu both well-known at the time ([[Kotono Mitsuishi\|Mitsuishi Kotono]] as Shouko, [[Kikuko Inoue]] as Shuuko, [[Tomokazu Seki]] as Ogata, [[Houko Kuwashima]] as Sai, Yuri Shiratori as Hatoko, Masaya Onosaka as Icchan, [[Yui Horie]] as Hiromi Fujimori and [[Kappei Yamaguchi]] as one-shot character [[Name's the Same\|Ryou Misaki]], and a number of up-and-comers who eventually gained stardom in their own right: [[Soichiro Hoshi]] as Oujiro, [[Jun Fukuyama]] as Kotarou, [[Ayako Kawasumi]] as Kaede, and [[Kana Ueda]] as Ringo. * [[No Guy Wants an Amazon]] * [[Oba-san]]: Shouko refuses to be called this, despite actually being Misaki's aunt, [[Christmas Cake\|because it makes her feel old]]. Line 124 ⟶ 123: * [[Shock and Awe]]: Athena. * [[Shorttank]]: Tamayo. * [[Shout-Out]]: Hikaru is actually based on Shidou Hikaru, the heroine of ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''; also, Eriol Academy is named after Hiiragizawa Eriol from ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]''. Plus the manga has newspaper clips of how the [[CLAMP School Detectives]] have vowed to investigate the disappearance of three girls from Tokyo Tower (Another ''Rayearth'' ref.) There are also two points in the manga where Misaki is shown singing the anime theme tunes for CLAMP School Detectives and Rayearth season 2. * [[Shrinking Violet]]: {{spoiler\|Shuuko. In the manga, this is more or less the reason why she left Misaki.}} * [[Smoke Shield]] Line 154 ⟶ 150: {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Anime]] [[Category:Anime of the 2000s]] [[Category:Manga]] [[Category:~~Kidou~~Manga ~~Tenshi~~of ~~Angelic~~the ~~Layer~~2000s]] [[Category:CLAMP]] [[Category:Dark Horse Comics]] [[Category:Tokyopop]] [[Category:Shonen Demographic]] [[Category:Animax]] [[Category:Science Fiction Anime and Manga]] [[Category:TV Tokyo]] [[Category:Studio BONES]] [[Category:Sentai Filmworks]] [[Category:Anime Network]]
