D.N. Angel is a unique twist to the whole "angel" story presented in most anime. In it, both angels are male, and both exist for two very contradicting reasons. Dark Mousy exists to steal artwork created by the Hiwataris to prevent the sinister power in each one from causing destruction. Light Krad, on the other hand, exists as the second form of Satoshi to oppose Dark and continue the legend of the Hiwatari masterpieces.
The story itself is unique, but it disappointed me that the anime lacked in the thrilling approach I thought it would have, based solely on the plot itself. Yes, it was a unique thought to use angels as thieves so they can sneak into the night, but there was something I thought had gone missing.During the first few episodes, it seemed as if the same things would happen again and again. Dark would steal artwork, and prevent different disasters from occurring.
But as it progressed, the story seemed to change, first with the arrival of Mio Hio, pretending to like Daisuke only because she wanted to take his soul, next with the appearances of Towa, the story of Freedert, and Kosuke's ring. There were also certain twists, like the grandmother of the twins being Dark's real first love, and even Daisuke's change in romantic interest.
So I rate it as average in the beginning, a little above that in the middle, and the end as a great turn of events. Though the ending with Riku and Daisuke's kiss didn't satisfy me, seeing as it left things unexplained, I still give it a good rating because it passes as something I would like to rewatch.
