  Anime Episodes: 44 Synopsis: A normal looking high school girl on the outside, Kusakabe Maron is actually the reincarnation of Jeanne d' Arc. With the help of the angel, Fin Fish, Maron works as the thief Jeanne at night to seal the demons that reside in pieces of artwork, preying upon the weak hearts of the owners. She is branded as a thief due to the fact that the artworks disappear after she seals the demons. One day, a new neighbor and classmate appears, as well as a rival in her night job, the thief Sinbad. With her own best friend being the detective's daughter, out to capture her and the appearance of her new rival, Maron's work is anything but easy. Based on the manga by Tanemura Arina. Manga Volumes: 7 Synopsis: By day, Kusakabe Maron is an ordinary high school girl with more than her share of problems. But by night, she is Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne, the reincarnation of Joan of Arc! Her mission: to hunt down demon-possessed paintings and exorcise the evil spirits! Too bad accomplishing this mission puts her into conflict with the authorities, who view her as a mysterious stranger vandalizing works of art. With only the help of angel-in-training Finn, she must survive high school during the day and battle evil by night! (Source: CMX)    Profile Images:  |
| Im starting this now!! Even though this is from one of my favorite mangaka's, Im still hesitant. Ill let you know! |
| The anime series was okay for what it is--a drawn out magical girl show aimed at a younger audience. The manga was much better for me. My first foray into Tanemura Arina and one of my earlier raw series I think. |
| Ill have to read the manga right after. The series so far is pretty cute. I live the spinning animation when the teacher screaches the recorder. Remindes me of Card Captor in alot of ways. However, I can still see all the full moon character looming around ^^; I do love how she makes her characters look different when they are transformed. Putting a tiara does not make for a good secret identity....but changing haircolor and eye color definitely helps! :) |

I felt it was more dramatic leaving a few bits of information out so that the watcher was suprised |
| Ok, so I finished the series. It got really good around ep 20, but everything before or after that was a wash for me. The series notes were helpful in figuring out the differances in the manga and anime, and it reminds me exactly what happened to Full Moon, all the interesting side stories got cut out and changed because it wasn't kid friendly. Ill start the manga tomorrow. Overall I gave it three stars. The romantic in me wanted more with their relationship, and more for my new hero Noir ;_; Thats right, he's my fav...and he gets SHAFTED |
RICEA42991 said: Hmm... I didn't know they cut stuff out of Full Moon because it wasn't kid friendly(does this include Izumi and Meroko's past) It definitely includes Meroko and Izumi, I mean, common. They skirted over the whole shinigami aspect anyway. Never mind Izumi and his mother, and the ties that Meroko has with the family. |
| I LOVED this series. One of my absolute faves :) |

| Since this was kicked up ;) Ricea, did you ever get around to reading the manga? |
