Preliminary (35/44 eps)
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:

Story:
The story was very original. The usual mangas and animes are all the same and based off of one story a mangaka had written. Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne was not like that and was a completely new flavor. I don't want to spoil the story, so I cannot get into the details completely well, but hehe, the anime fans out there should watch it if they want a great story that's not only romantic but it has great fantasy and good action (not the icky kind!), comique comedy (heh, to add more to the French!), all with a wonderful plot line!

Art:
The art was very interesting for the era of time. I am guessing Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne had came from around the 90s, so the graphics were pretty outstanding for that decade. The characters were actually more beautiful than what you'd find in the usual and boring animes, if you can say that counts for art! It is known though that I always pay more attention to the story than the art, but this time, it was fun to look at both!

Sound:
BEST CHARACTER VOICES EVER AND I DON'T REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THAT! The boys in usual animes always have an arrogant tone and the girls always sound so weak or if they are strong, they sound really violent with lots of muscles, but in this anime, it was just right! The main character, Maron did not sound weak nor too strong and Chiaki, the main boy did not have an arrogant voice, nor a sweet voice, he had a... well, I can't really explain it, but he had a wonderful tone! The production must have chosen carefully for the voice actors.

Character:
I think these are my favorite characters. Maron is strong, but not the boring "I don't need any help strong", Maron never backs down but is also friendly and can trust others and uses that to build her power. Maron is my role model, my idol, I aim to be like her in life! She is always positive and knows that even if she feels sorrow at one period of time, she knows that that's only releasing emotions and helps her become stronger by learning from her mistakes. Chiaki is also impressive as well. He is not those common annoying persistent players, nor is is a kind boy with a serious attitude, nor is he the arrogant jerk. Chiaki is something else that someone needs to know when they spot him in the anime. He has kindness and is a joker, but he doesn't overdo things. He has a serious side to him as well, but not those common types of "seriousness" you see in every anime. You'll know when you see him.

Enjoyment:
I enjoyed this anime since it was not just entertaining, but it also provided a learning experience for me like I had talked about in the very beginning. The drama was precise and perfect, there was not too much like watching Spanish dramas on Telemundo (I'm not saying their bad, actually, some of them are kind of nice to watch), nor was there a boring amount like the common animes you would find nowadays. It was just perfect, truly perfect, nothing could be improved, not even those annoying characters now and then, you would even fall in love with the annoying characters (which are not really annoying, they just are... funny?). I don't think there is a way for an anime to be better, at least in this style.

Overall:
Just great. Like the other reviewer had stated on the front page, this really is a must-see. I'm kind of late in watching this, but I'm happy I was, since I've even seen that other animes cannot compare. Please watch this! The characters will warm your heart and there is no end to the story! You will see, the mangaka will show you that you can live life in a total different way!
