Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A typical shounen Tournament Arc series, save that it's done by CLAMP (who are better known for their shoujo works), has a predominantly female cast without being a Bishoujo Series, and involves fighting dolls controlled by the player's mind.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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })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 differently 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.Angelic Layer is either an Alternate Continuity or prequel to Chobits and Kobato. This series is also notable for being a tournament series that broke conventions by featuring a female leading protagonist, though Misaki isn't the first female shonen protagonist overall— that honor goes to Cutey Honey.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The manga originally ran in Shonen Ace from 1999 to 2001. It was initially brought over to North American markets by Tokyopop, though Tokyopop's financial troubles caused the license to lapse. The manga license was later picked up by Dark Horse Comics for distribution, so the manga is in print in omnibuses. As for the anime series, it was initially brought over to North Americans markets by ADV Films with an English dub, but following their collapse, the license went to Sentai Filmworks, ADV's successor, reusing the ADV dub.Despite the very similar premise, no relation to Custom Robo, which first appeared a mere six months after the manga.Compare Busou Shinki and Frame Arms Girls, where there are cute fighting robot girls as well, but the series focus is on the robot girls rather than their Masters. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
Angelic Layer (Manga) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: In adapting a short, five-volume manga series into a 26-episode anime series (and before the manga even ended, no less!), a lot of content had to be added to pad the show out. BONES opted to provide a few new characters, improved development, backstory and personality for existing characters, a more arc-based narrative (as opposed to the defined beginning, middle and end of the manga), and even a more tragic explanation as to why Misaki's mother can't see her. And astoundingly, fans and critics alike have both been rather supportive of these changes. | |

Foregone Conclusion: Anyone who knows about the connection between this and Chobits knows that Shuuko and Icchan's relationship is doomed before it begins. Although, one should take into account the anime can easily be interpreted as taking place as a separate and alternate timeline from the manga considering how many differences there are. | |

Invincible Hero: Misaki only faces one major loss in the entire series. Jusified in that the series itself takes place during a single tournament. When she lost, the tournament was at a stage were losing didn't immediately result in elimination. To a larger extent, Oujirou is one, he almost never loses a fight except against Misaki, who he at this point has fallen in love with. It became clear that he was going extremely easy on her and had no intention of winning. | |

Serious Business: Subverted. There are a number of Dei who treat Angelic Layer as Serious Business, but according to a number of characters, including the man who invented the game itself, they're doing it wrong and should just be having fun. | |

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. The show's title is a shout out to Kidou Senshi Gundam. | |

Adaptational Context Change: The reason the Layer exists and why Shuuko will not meet with Misaki at first is different between the anime and manga. In the manga Shuuko suffers from anthropophobia related to her family and instead watches Misaki from afar before reuniting with her. In the anime Shuuko is wheelchair bound from a neurological disease and is terrified of Misaki seeing her in her current condition. This ties into the existence of the Layer as in the manga it was a precursor for the Persocom program in Chobits, and in the anime it was to help with the research to find a cure for Shuuko. | |
