Synopsis

A young Taiwanese assassin codenamed "Glass Heart" committed suicide by jumping off a building, and her heart was pierced by metal fence. Miraculously, her life was saved by heart transplantation. During her recovery she began to experience strange dreams, which lead her to Japan looking for the donor of her heart, who happens to be Kaori Makimura, former partner of City Hunter Ryo Saeba.

The author mentioned in the first tankoubon volume that Angel Heart only shares the same characters of City Hunter but not it's continuation. The events are all parallel universe, therefore it has nothing to do with City Hunter. (Source: Wikipedia)

Note: This series is a spin-off from another show called City Hunter, and uses many of it's characters. All I did before watching this series is read the synopsis for City Hunter, and I've had no problems following the story. It still may be preferable to watch City Hunter first though.

Angel Heart starts by following professional assassin (trained from a child), Glass Heart, as she attempts to escape from her life of killing, by ending her own. But after a heart transplant, and a couple of years sleep, she's good as new. The new heart brings it's owner's spirit with it, and refuses to let read more

Please note that this story is a sequel of City Hunter,so it contains spoilers!

Angel Heart tells the story of Glass Heart, a girl risen as a professional killer whose life is all about killing people. Tired of her life,she commits suicide: however, she survives thanks to a heart-transplant. The heart of Makimura Kaori,City Hunter's partner,dead in a car accident. When Glass Heart wakes up,she feels she had to go to Shinjuku,while Kaori's feeling starts to overwhelm her, pushing her to find a certain Ryo Saeba...

The starting plot is really involving. It hurts to know Kaori's dead,City Hunter isn't working anymore, and the story really looks read more

Recommendations

Angel Heart is definitely the most similar anime to Phantom I've come across.

-- Children being kidnapped, brainwashed and turned into unfeeling assassins.
-- A male and female assassin pair bonding; their bond being shattered by their organization forcing them to kill each other.
-- The assassins having to come to terms with normal life, after previously only knowing a world of murder and death.

After an intense opening arc, AH does become more like City Hunter: the emphasis switching to episodic, more lighthearted content. Phantom, on the other hand, is dark and serious all the way through.
its similar in that there are people who are young people trapped in a world where they are forced to fight and they cant escape it, gunslinger girls has more action and fighting than angel heart but angel heart has more romance so they are both amazing and moving series.
