Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne

The first Anime I'm going to review is Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne.
This anime is one of my favorites :D
So... let's get started ;)

The story is about Maron Kusakabe, who is the reïncarnation of Jeanne d'Arc. Her task is to transform into a phantom thief to collect beautiful pieces where demons in hide. She gets help from a angel (tenshi) named Fin. Her best friend, Miyako Todaiji, tries to hunt her down with her father, who is a detective, for Kaitou Jeanne steals all the precious items in the city and she wants to be a detective, just like her father. Miyako and Maron live in the same apartement complex, which is called Orleans (that's in the story of Jeanne d'Arc a important place xD) but Maron lives alone, and Miyako lives together with her parents. The story begins when a new boy comes to live in the apartment, Chiaki Nagoya, causing Maron anger (he sort of hits on her) and Miyaki to fall in love with him. A short time later Kaitou Jeanne is troubled by Kaitou Sinbad, who tries to capture the demons and art before her...
The story continues by following the personal life of Maron and the demons she captures.

The story has 24 episodes, and the manga has 7 volumes. The Manga has a different ending than the anime, you could say the anime is somewhat more extreme, with more pain and such, and the manga is longer, and has in my opinion a better end, more cute xD













The anime is really drawn well, the expressions are really clear, and the movements don't look unnatural. The voices fit too... I just adore the characters, they're so mystical at times, but you feel like you understand what they're going through :D
