I'm not very big on anime, but I absolutely loved every second of this three-part serial.
Dealing with angels waging war against God, reincarnation in human form, and incest, ANGEL SANCTUARY handles every aspect with expertise and sensitivity, making it not only tolerable and acceptable, but making it seem normal. The animation was superb, and animation in anime typically bugs me to no living end. I didn't mind it here. It seemed to be not only a step above, but a whole flight of stairs above, other anime. The ending was perfect, tying up the story as presented but still leaving the viewer to figure out what happens next.
In conclusion, ANGEL SANCTUARY is an anime that I would gladly watch again and again.
