If I were to describe this anime in one sentence, it would be: "Pokemon with Battle Dolls!"

Story: 6/10
We follow little Mizaki, a little girl wanting to see her mother after years and years of being away from her. Upon arriving in the city where her aunt lives, she sees a jumbo vision screen that has two little battle dolls (known as Angles) fighting one on one. She is intrigued by them and decides to try it out for herself, unknown to Mizaki her mom is actually much closer than she thinks. This is the base of the storyline, along the way she meets new friends read more

CLAMP decides to take the standard shonen fighting tournament setup and retools it into a series for girls. Partly it does this by making the tournament a fighter between customizable dolls, and making most of the competitors young females.

Like most tournament shows, the themes of doing your best and friendship pervade the experience. A doll used in the Angelic Fights is usually treated by her (or rarely, his) owner (deus) as though it were a dear friend, with concerned cries going out when they are injured. Unlike most competition shows, however, Angelic Layer isn't treated as the be-all-end-all of life. Characters who take it read more

Angelic Layer and Yu-Gi-Oh! DM are quite different series on the outside, but they both have some similar themes. They are both about fighting and working hard, and proving your strength to not only yourself, but friends and rivals too.

Both the main characters, Yugi and Misaki, have one special friend in particular - Yugi has the Pharaoh, and Misaki has her Angel "Hikaru". They fight many battles together, and over the course of the series they learn and grow and come to understand each other - and themselves - a lot better.

So, if you're a YGO fan looking for something a little different, check out Angelic Layer, or vice versa. ^_^
Both are Lovable stories that follow two girls as they get stronger.The main characters, Misaki (angelic layer) and Sakura ( cardcaptor sakura) are friendly and kind. They are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in. As the story progresses, the two girls get better at what they do. Sakura at collecting clow cards and Misaki at playing angelic layer.The two main character's best friend, Tomoyo (cardacaptor sakura) and Hatoko ( angelic layer)are also similar in appearance and personality.
The art is similar. Both stories have to do with adventure and character develoment. They are fun to watch.
