When Seikichi Kuroda—self-proclaimed "guardian" and head thug of Hekikuu High School—hears rumors of a first-year transfer student named Seiichirou Kitano terrorizing his entire class, Seikichi tries to intimidate him through authority. However, things go awry when he witnesses something horrifying—Seiichirou has a face so dreadful and haunting that even Seikichi hurries away in fear.
But despite his menacing appearance, Seiichirou has a heart of gold. Inhibited by his poor communication skills and fear-inducing looks, he has never managed to convey his true self to his terrified peers, resulting in his lifelong ostracization. Now the new guardian, Seiichirou discovers that sometimes friends can be found in the most unlikely places and through the most unusual circumstances.

To summarize this series in 1 world would be HILARIOUS. When reading this manga/ watching the 2 episodes you will repeatedly LOL. Its a shame that there are only 2 OVA episodes to this series as I believe it should be granted more. The manga for this series is long finished and I recommend reading this to everyone. The 2 episodes in my opinion are better than the manga because the artwork on Kitano's face is much better in the anime rather than the manga. As the manga progresses the artwork gets a bit better however. That being said I would recommend watching the2 episodes of anime before switching to reading the manga which leaves off around chapter 4.
Story: There isn't too much of a story for this series. It just covers the daily school life of Kitano. Later in the manga small arcs form, but there isn't much of a continuing story.
Art: To see a demon in human form, Kitano's face seals the deal for the artwork. Otherwise artwork is a bit out dated, but this series has been out for over a decade.
Sound: When Kitano yells out.... all I can hear is my laughter.
Character: Kitano is seen as a demon in human form. He is a love-able protagonist as hes never doing anything wrong,and being misjudged by his peers.
READ THE MANGA!

It's really sad that they made only two episodes, i would have love to see more. Seiichirou Kitano is a scary looking man with kind heart, even the badass kids are scared of him. If u do like school animes then you should watch this! Kitano have scary face, he is praised by Bullies cos he ''win all the bullies and badass with accident after another''. Kitano is kind man never hurt anyone and when he get punched he thinks hes the one to blame. Interesting story with only 2 episode :( so i did read the manga after the episodes cos i loved this!

After seeing several insufficient reviews about the work, it aroused my interest to write one too, and I find it curious, that people only took the comic side of the work and not its subtext about a chilling criticism about the human look, judgment, fear and values of someone by their appearance. The movie starts by showing Kitano, the comedy here revolves around Kitano being so ugly that everyone associates him with the devil, delinquents are scared to death of him, teachers and principal are terrified of him, ordinary people think he is a psychopath. The work takes place during Kitano's events and the comedy usesthe misunderstandings of judging the person and thinking that he will harm someone.
I really like this theme mainly because it is simple to understand and direct, Kitano is the image of an angel, he is simply an amazing person, an angel on earth, he only wants to do good, but he is trampled on, judged, humiliated, people are scared to death of him because of his appearance, this shows not only Kitano's side of not understanding things around him because he is too kind and innocent to understand, but it also shows the contempt and need for humans to always judge someone or diminish people by what they think they are.
Kitano in these two episodes is used as a symbol and as a character, the work itself is humorous, the scenes of the gang, who are really bad guys, is explored by taking their own poison, as in the scene where Kitano wants to return the wallet or when he can't hold a tree because he is weak, but the delinquents are so furious with his face, that they don't even understand the situation, they are just scared to death, and it is an excellent way to approach comedy with this kind of misunderstanding, the author is spectacular in this sense.
About the symbolism Kitano not only passes a message that deep down people are good, society has different views, but also that the fault of great people being destroyed by others is always their own fault, not yours. It is a spectacular critique in two ova, and is conveyed magnificently, not only changing my views on society, but also about judging someone for something, without really knowing them.
Kitano uses and abuses this subtext, with a perfect character who is the perfect archetype for this situation, I believe Kitano is what makes the work so fantastic. After all, who wouldn't love an angel? Certainly not HUMANITY.

Angel Densetsu is a hilarious anime. I was literally laughing my ass off every 2 minutes or so to the point where I was out of breath at the end of every episode. It is the funniest anime I have ever seen. It is only 2 episodes so I recommend you to just watch it because it’s short. I promise you it is worth your time. Not many people know about this anime so I want to share the greatness of it with as many people as possible. So please, just go and watch it, if you don’t laugh once, I honestly believe youshould dislike this review. That is how sure I am that Angel Densetsu is the funniest anime ever.

I'm really bad at reviews, I'm the type who types down what I had felt while watching, and I would look for similarities in the show that would make me say "damn, that happened to me too" Here I go.. It's set in a world of massive judgmental, insensitive humans, yeah just like real life society today. Have you been in a situation when you look at someone , you don't even know a single thing about them and thought "he's such a creep, ew", "she's too pretty, that's why she's such a bitch", "just look at him he must be a crack head, he's followingme! I should walk fast". Seiichirou Kitano is one of those people, who's been talked bad like all the time. With just his looks he could scared the crap out of you. Some would froze to their feet, some would choose to run the hell away from him.
There's this scene were he approached a stray cat, and it suddenly jumps out of its feet, growled and hissed at him, like he was some kind of terrifying unknown entity. I'm like, wow even cats don't like him. He was definitely been in a lot of situation where it made me laugh my ass out, at the same time made me feel sad, because if I'm in his shoes and most of the peeps on the street was terrified of me, I'll probably will develop a severe chronic insecurity which I would stay at home forever. Or get some kind of full-face cosmetic surgery. Lol.
The good part of Kitano is he thinks; "first I have to get them to quickly understand that I'm not scary" He's actually a genuine kindhearted almost could pass as being an idiot kind of guy, a likable one who would get himself unintentionally involved in situations were his life is on the line and he wouldn't even think twice that the person in front of him is actually trying to punch his life out.
You should totally check it out, or go straight to manga. I highly recommend Angel Densetsu!!

When it comes to anime, I believe there to be one recurring style of joke that gets used, but is almost always never fun. That style of humour would be jokes based on misunderstanding. An example would be when a girl walks in on a MC after he had god tripped into another girl's lap and then proceeds to punch said MC. This OVA series however, is what I personally think is this kind of humour done right. There isn't much to talk about because it's just a 2 episode OVA series but I think it's worth talking about. If you've not read the synopsis yet,the story is of a boy with the heart of an angel but the looks of a devil. He's constantly doing nice things, but everyone's afraid of him and he sometimes ends up doing something to make everyone fear him more. The way it's all done just makes me laugh over and over again. The story isn't much, but it's presented in such a way that I'd say it's about a 7.
Story:7
The art style is quite old, this was released in 90's after all. I still think the old style of anime has a certain charm about it that makes it look alright. Nothing to special for it's time but I certainly think it's a style that suits the show.
Art:6
Sound was decent, can't really say it was amazing. I do think the voices of the characters were good though and the MC's voice was spot on.
Sound:6
The characters were very good. Sure you can argue that there's not much dimension to them, but I'm pretty sure a good amount of teens these days act the same way and we don't consider them 2 dimensional. I think the MC is really good as well because he's not your normal MC and give him credit for that.
Character:8
I really enjoyed this, it was very funny and I'll end up reading the manga to see how things go from there. I do recommend people to watch this, seeing as it's not all that long anyway and I'm sure if you're up for a good laugh, this will give it to you.
Enjoyment:9
Overall: 8

Since i watched some anime about delinquents such as Kyou Kara Ore Wa, Shonan Junai Gumi, and Cromartie High, only one thing i can think of : THAT WAS ALL AMAZING!! I just couldn't get enough. i needed to find more of that. then i searched many sites in order to get me this kind of anime. i found this: Angel Densetsu. at the first time i wasn't really sure it would be great, Only 2 episodes of OVA? I was totally wrong. now Angel Densetsu turn out to be my favorite OVA all the time!! The Concept is really awesome. the story tells us about akind-hearted, energetic, and honest boy who just wants to make as many friends as he could in his new school, but everything goes wrong due to his face (demonic face).
though the art is rather old, the sound is very good. the music and the voice actors really fit in.
i would recommend this OVA for those who enjoy Shonen and Comedy, especially about delinquants one. i bet after you watch it, you'll be dying to know : WHERE'S THE ANIME SERIES!!!

Angel densetsu is a very peculiar set of ovas of the old toei animation. the genere of this ovas is comedy of situation and his main protagonist kitano how is bouth creepy and hilarious is always the center and star of the show. he remenbere my very much to midousuji of yowamushi peda, that is a very good point in favor for kitano, his seiyuu tobita nobuo do a fantastic perfonmance giving to his character a very funny voice and a likeable personalitty. the other charascters are blank and the only who is worthy to save is takeisha because how kitano think thathi is a suicide.other think who deserve to be pointed is his director kaizawa yukio who is also the director of gonijo no gasbell(zatch bell) because in this ovas we start to see that he´s maneged of charasters and comedy shown on Angel Densetsu will be latter pretty similar in zatch bell.
sorry for the gramatical errors, the spanish is my native language and currently i am learning to write and speak english better

This is one of the anime that makes anime, anime. After watching this I realized there is no better way to describe this story other than anime. The main character is a guy with very scary face but is very gentle at heart. Every encounter with him ends in something very weird because of his scary face and his actions and expressions being mistaken by others. I was very disappointed that there weren't any other episodes of this anime except the two ova. But the two episodes was really worth it. Also, I found Detroit Metal city (From MAL recommendation) very similar anime to this one.Both anime are just Hilarious.

I feel sad that people do not know this masterpiece, that is ... how can I describe it, amazing. One of the manga that I've laughed the most, then I thought is there an animation about this masterpiece? Guess I ran out of air, this is the kind of anime you would think the animation is horrible, it was done anyway, it would be a waste of time. For the love of all, I hope people will read the recommendations before giving up on such a masterpiece. Well the anime has an amazing premise, a young boy who has a rather creepy face in a world where all misunderstandingsmeet him, besides having a beautiful soul and an amazing personality.
The story is very funny, you will start to get more and more involved with the story and at the same time feel sorry for the protagonist and when you see you are rooting for him to become happy and find his place in the world.

Final Thoughts : A Must Watch. Specially For : People looking for something short and incredibly enjoyable. The story is mediocre. There's nothing special about the artwork either. The characters are quite bland too. And to be honest I wasn't expecting much from these two episodes. But I was thoroughly amazed by what it actually had to offer, pure comedy. The protagonist is really likable. And this two episode ova revolves around the problems he has to face because of his demon like appearance and how he unknowingly becomes a 'legendary' school thug without him even knowing. I know it isn't much. But believe meyou will laugh while watching this... a lot!
If you like this you will also love the manga.

Don't judge people by their looks. Though they are scary that you can't look their eyes. For me, the subject of this anime is this. Kitano is just a guy that wanted to help everyone. But everyone was afraid of him. Angel Densetsu has unbelievable story, Kitano didn't even do anything, and he took all of them down. That was just his face! I really enjoyed this anime. It's atmosphere is great and it has only two episodes, which is awesome for me. I recommend everyone to watch this anime. It is not only fun but also instructive. So everyone over 18 should watch this anime. It is actuallya manga but i didn't read it. So i don't have any opinion about it.

This is my first review, and also any feedback will be appreciated, but don't expect much from my review. Angel Densetsu is a funniest anime I ever watch. I always laughing because people reacted to Kitano's demon face. He have a scary face that make other people think he is very scary but inside his heart he is a kind-hearted angel who have devil face. It only have 2 episodes but it is worth your time. If you already watched this anime and want to know next, read the MANGA. Story : 6/10 Art : 5/10 Sound : 7/10 Character : 9/10 Enjoyment : 10/10 Overall : 9/10 I really recommend thisif you looking for comedy and martial arts anime. And remember to read the MANGA!

It's incredibly unfortunate that Norihiro Yagi's Angel Densetsu never got the praise and recognition that the author's next work, Claymore, got. I have a lot of love for the bloated, yet charming, manga that this is based off of, but the short length and low production values makes it hard to recommend the anime over just reading it. Some of the best material of this story is left completely unadapted in these 2 episodes, leaving a lot to be desired. While not terrible, the pacing leans on the slow side, further making it hard to recommend over the manga. I'd recommend it for anime watchersthat don't like reading manga, but beyond that I think there isn't much to gain from this unless you're already a fan of the work and want to see what could have been. I hope this someday gets readapted in its entirety.

Beelzebub, Toradora and other delinquent-type anime have the trope of the scary looking but actually nice protagonist and in those anime that is simply a trope but in Angel Densetsu, that’s the main point of the story and what drives the story forward. Everything that happens is because people misunderstand the main protagonist and think he’s a delinquent. The older, unique artstyle also definitely adds to this as unlike in anime like Toradora or Beelzebub where the characters more or less look the same as everyone else, the main protagonist of Angel Densetsu, Kitano, actually looks scary with his slick-backed hair, lack of eyebrows andalmost nosferatu-looking grayish face. And through the misunderstandings there are some good bits of interesting moments that are both funny and intense, like a sort of dark slapstick humor, the dark part more prevalent in the manga where they look more and more into what it means to judge Kitano based on his looks. Still though, this anime is a short hidden gem and a perfect jumping off point to read the manga (which is awesome BTW).

I thoroughly enjoyed this 2 part show. Yes it's short and yes there isn't much to the show but despite this, its still really enjoyable. There isn't too much to say about the show if i'm going to be honest but i'll give it a go. Animation wise it really rather strong. Despite not much happening, the animation assists the comedy well. I would go as far to say that without the strength in animation, it wouldn't be anywhere near as funny. The character design is pretty standard for the time and there aren't many characters to focus on. Thenagain, not sure this really is a valid negative considering there are only 2 episodes lasting no more than 21 mins each of actual show. That being said, I believe the animation deserves a 7/10
I normally touch on music in my reviews, but there isn't much of it and with such little run time I'm not going include the quality of the music as part of the overall score I'giving it. Not really sure it needed much music at all to be honest. There is the standard buzzing cricket sounds on the 90's present and not too much else.
I was really happy with the story here. It genuinely is very funny, mainly due to how ridiculous it is. I guess there could be a message here about judging books by their covers and the negative connotations this can have for the one judging, put setting anything deep to one side, its just silly fun to be honest. The fact that our protagonist is simply trying to carry out a caring task and the remaining cast are impacted in the most extreme and contrary way doesn't get old for me. I would also give the story a strong 7/10
This show isn't long, even if i thought it weren't great I would still recommend it as its hardly a burden of an investment. I do however feel that most will like this show and won't come away feeling like they have wasted their time. Its a 7/10 from me
oman1996
Amazing anime concept. I wish they do a remake of this and add a hell of a lot more episodes. Nobody I talked to has watched this before, it's a hidden gem. I would happily donate to the production if it came to fruition. I hardly would bother writing a review for any anime as most of the good ones have too much coverage. Don't let this one slip past you. I love anime like this and would love to see more persue out of the box concepts. Why does MAL want such a long review. They keep on telling me to write more asif this is supposed to be an essay

The first time I heard about this anime is from my sister, she told me to try and watch it. Even though the anime is old, you can still enjoy it as I did, now to really have an opinion about it, As I mentioned before, this anime is quite old which explains the story, now about the animation I'd say its fine, you cant really expect too much when it comes to old anime, The main character's design is quite odd and weird which makes it more interesting, I gave it a fair score since I actually enjoyed it, if you like the comedy genre andif you're not the type of person to dislike old styles, then I'd say give this one a try.
Overall I'd say this anime gets a 7/10 in my book.

Angel Densetsu is a remarkable OVA and here's why. Angel Densetsu follows the manga well enough to enjoy. I found myself laughing at every frame because of the comedy perfection. The animators did a good job. I really enjoyed the overall look and flow of every character. The VAs' were good picks and some character VA's so-so. Sadly this OVA only lasts two episodes even though it was an excellent two episodes. I really hope Angel Densetsu gets a full anime because it deserves one. I have this manga in my top 3 favorite manga and if you haven't read it I recommend Angel Densetsubecause its genius levels of comedy story perfection with a beautiful style and an ability to keep me guessing and laughing, even scared at times.
