You know what I don't have a da** good to say about this so called anime, so if you hate people "ditching" on your new "favorite show, you know what"?? Though sh** is all I have to say, I am not going to force you to read this, but maybe I should force you to watch this anime while using it as a sadist tool for torture.. Okay trailing off to much into my personal life that some of you don't need ...

Okay trailing off to much into my personal life that some of you don't need to know about. As of now I don't even think that the series is worth finishing off but perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps on a slow such as Sunday I will watch some it here and there but as of now I would rather not drink my-self to death.
Twin Angel or know as Kaitō Tenshi Twin Angel - Kyun Kyun, Is based off of two ova's that came in out in 9/28/2008. This series much like Rio Rainbow Gate due in part that it's is based off a series of Pachinko-Machines with the same character designs on the machines. Personally I think this is lazy but Rio Rainbow Gate was still fun to watch and no where near as tedious. The story mainly revolves around our two main heroines Aoi and Haruka that are just your normal/average middle schoolers by day but then turn into magical crime fighters by night.
The main female leads of course go to an rich private school, have the typical cute mascot and there is even the long transformation that shows off pretty rainbows.... um yeah. So what went wrong?? The main problem that anybody can point is the fact that they are trying to damn hard to mimic other things and not trying to be it's own Individual show. "I do realize this is next to impossible in this day and age but it can still be done". Magical Madoka did it but that went to dark for some, hell even Milky Holmes was funny if not for the reaction faces/comedy in the show.
I personally don't hate magical school girl anime quite the contrary really. I personally love Card Captor Sakura, Pretty Cure, Sailor Moon, Moe-Tan, MagiKano, and Magical Madoka. I just hate lazy attempts at anime that try to parody these shows and just end up falling flat on their a** in doing so. Even the lame attempt/blatant rip-off of Tuxedo-Mask called the Misty Knight who happens to show up in the nick up time to save our ladies with roses. Parody's for magical girl shows can be done right however this is not case in Twin Angel. please go watch some cheap anime from the 90's instead.. oh wait a minute..
Sadly I could hardly find any-thing redeeming what so-ever for Twin-Angel. Hardly if any of the characters seem likable expect for the ninja butler and even then that was corny. Not even the music or art work is worth mentioning for twin angel and the OP sounds like shi*** generic song from the 90's, however I will admit I did like the ED due in part that tusndere queen "Rie Kugimiya" sings in it however that's enough enough to even keep some away. She is also in the show as well as the white angel named , but hasn't made an appearance as of yet.
Perhaps I am being a little to harsh on this Twin Angel but in all honesty I really expected better from J.C.Staff, I know they are capable of doing better than this. Toradora, Index, Rail-gun, Excel Saga, Hayate, Shana, Familiar of Zero are all decent so it's in the realm of possibility after all. As of know I am really close to dropping this anime but if I can get hold of some liquor maybe it will help.
Usually I do not go by first episode for any thing to determine if a show is worth a da** or not, but when I am able to list off nearly twenty bad cliches right off the bat somethings wrong. That's all I have to say on this show who knows maybe it will get better but as of now i need some pain meds and good night's sleep. Peace out everyone and look forward to more previews soon, Summer is shaping up to be good so far "with the excuse of this show". Now please excuse me while I go bang head against the wall for twenty minutes, due in part that it causes the same amount of brain damage as setting through an episode of this.
Edit Update: After catching episode two eh.. it bumped up a notch to a 2.5 so just an average series but still I have seen enough of these shows growing up..but if you are new to these shows... then be my guest.
