A mahou shoujo show, a genre that might interest some, and chase off pretty much everyone else. KKJ might not give us any new spins in this highly niche genre, we can't help but love it anyway?

Story
KKJ doesn't exactly provide anything ground breaking story-wise. It's standard mahou shoujo material. Like many other thieves you may find in other anime, Jeanne oddly enough tells the police beforehand she actually plans to steal something, and magically completes her missions successfully, foiling the police each time. While there is an obvious plotline, majority of the anime is fairly episodic. It follows a monster of the week pattern, so read more

There isn't much to see just:
1)must see; 2) must see; 3)must enjoy ^_^
Then I was a teenager I used to watch this and imagined that I am that brave, strong, lissome girl. I knew all phrases when she is transforming and that was my inducement to be better and alarm-clock which woke me up every morning with smile, bravery and impulse to continue what I have started.
Story is about friendship which could be very mystical and disloyal, about love which can be beautiful but in the same made-up, bet from the start till beginning it always is truthful to yourself which teaches us to love read more

Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne had changed me in many good ways. It taught me how to be strong and not be afraid of the mean people out there, not be afraid of not being accepted by the society, it helped me to know that if you want to get things in life, you've got to be annoying like heck and get into people's heads! Before, I was a shy girl and was afraid of my own friends, which for some reason had recently happened this year. Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne helped me realize the strength I had accidentally let go inside of myself and this is why:

I just finished watching this anime for the second time today, and I adore it. I love the plotline, and the characters have great personalities.

The story and progress of the story is a little slow in the beginning, but Maron's past and her slowly evolving bond with Chiaki managed to keep me interested. Of course, her adventures as Kaitou Jeanne and the adorable Fin Fish, as well as the mystery around Kaitou Sinbad and Access rope you in as well.

The second season is when this story really starts to get amazing, in my opinion. You start to learn more about Jeanne d'Arc herself, Maron and read more

One of the best animes I have ever seen seen…

The story revolves around 16 year old Maron who lives alone. Despite not being the most eager or the most courageous person in the world she happens to be the reincarnation of Joan de Arc, She lives as a art thief in the eyes of people around her, But the truth is that she actually exorcises demons and monsters from art. This causes the art she has cleansed to dissapear as she has removed the demons..

One day a new neighbor moves in the dorm she has, A boy whom makes an impression on Maron the read more

My first anime. I was so moved. I enjoyed watching my first anime Dearest (as I called them later). As I liked Chiaki I hated Fynn.
Watching this anime I had fun, but for me, manga was better. Anime isn't so close to manga, and some actions are really bad. Oh, and I hate openings. I always skipped them >.>

*Note- I've only seen about ten episodes, the first few and some random ones scattered among the series
I went into this with high expectations... Which is probably why this hit me so hard when I found out it was so bad. The Jeanne manga was my first ever manga, and I still read it over and over again to this day.
But this anime... It doesn't hold a candle to the manga. The story somewhat follows the plot of the manga, but it stretches it and adds to many unnecessary things that just don't seem to fit. The sound isn't too bad (the voice acting is read more

I didnt like this anime because of the plot twist, which made the anime pointless if you ask me. The story plot from start till finish was unoriginal, a recycled idea from a few other anime that is similar to this (only i cant remember what they are called, something to do with a Tail? lol) although it did have a more stronger romance element to it, which was ok, I suppose but the religious and historical angle of this anime made a mockery of everything that has to do with the catholic religion and history and i didnt like that bit of it at read more

I like the manga better.
IMHO the anime was rather drawn out. It could be shorter.
And the end is a bit... Hm. How do I put it? It didn't feel like closure.

Not to say that I didn't enjoy it.
It's good in its own way. Parts of it crack me up in a good way.

And Chiaki's weapon arsenal is rather impressive. I wonder why he didn't use it?

In my opinion this Anime could go along with the manga but in all its really a master piece, I think. I love the art and the characters I fell in love with all and I even cried when Maron cried. It is really good if you like this type of genre.
