Angel Heart
Has anyone seen this anime? From what I understand, its an alternate reality sequel to City Hunter, where Kouri (sp?) gets killed, and the mob steals her heart and transplants it into an assasin named Glass Heart. For some reason, I really like the series. I've never seen City Hunter, but I do like the characters, especially Ryo's pervertedness. About 10 episodes have been fansubbed so far (but raws are up to ep 20). Anyone know anything about the OST?
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
More information is available for Angel Heart at it's wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Heart_%28manga%29.
To be brief, the story takes place in an alternate universe, where the story of City Hunter has changed: Spoiler:
I've more or less preferred following the manga as opposed to the anime simply because I don't like the anime style. The character design pretty much sucks because it's so inconsistent. Xiang Ying and Ryo look so different in individual frames and scenes. The art team doesn't seem to know how people walk since they keep people walking faster then they're actually moving or vice-versa. It's mostly little things but they really stand out for me. To it's credit, the anime does seem to address some problems that aren't mentioned or explored in the manga, such as in episode 19.... Spoiler:
By and large, I've always thought that anime would have the advantage over manga in that animation could always better express the humor or the humility of any situation. Action would come out better, pain could be expressed better. Unfortunately, that's sadly lacking in the Angel Heart anime. Go for the manga instead. P.S. I forgot the anime does have some cool insert songs that I've been trying to find. The OST for the insert songs was released in June but I haven't even seen it shops let alone on the net. Is it really not that popular? :eyebrow: There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey, just a quick question for anyone who has been following the anime or the manga.....
...in Angel Heart, were Ryo and Kaori actually married? I ask because: (spoilers obviously) Spoiler:
Also, in the last episode of the anime and in the 20th volume of the manga (or was it the 19th....?).... Spoiler:
Wouldn't it then be safe to say they were only engaged? I see a lot of people still refer to Kaori and Ryo as a married couple though....am I missing something? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't think they got married...in fact Ryo always feels guilty for not proposing to Kaori earlier since he knows she really wanna wear the wedding dress (also shown in the last episode of the anime). So yeah, I think they're not yet married. I guess people refer them as a married couple because Xiang Ying is their 'daughter'?

Yeah, yeah, I remember something else in the manga! During the wedding reception (probably same scene in the anime) while the newly weds are lighting the candles on all the guests' tables.....
Spoiler:
Yeah, seems they may have only been engaged. Cool story nevertheless!! I was speaking idiomatically.
