Navy SEAL ROSSMANI can't explain
to you why I like this show so much. I'm going to look like
a total wuss for this, but ya know, that happens sometimes.
To start
out with, Tenshi Ni Narumon is way too damn cute for
its own good. That right there is going to keep a lot of people
away from it. What's weird about it though is that it's hypnotically
cute. You just can't look away from it! You watch the first
episode and the ultra-sugar content almost makes you go into
a hyper induced coma.... But you find that as much as it almost
hurts... you NEED more.
Tenshi
goes a little something like this: An average high school boy
who's single dad is out of the country (aren't they all) finds
a mysterious and TOTALLY ANNOYING bubble-headed blonde and by
mistakenly kisses her. She then believes that he wants to marry
her (despite the fact that he's already totally hard up for
a hot little number on the school's diving team) and has her
family (consisting of a vampire brother, an oni/Frankenstein's
monster dad, an invisible older sister, a witch mother and grandmother,
and an inventive-elf younger sister) move into his house while
he's at school that day. Noelle (the annoying lead) wants to
be Yuusuke's (the average kid who kissed her) angel... Because
she's an idiot. Well, it's probably destiny too considering
she already has a halo over her head.
"That
already sounds stupid," you say? "Why would anybody
give it a chance knowing that it's a retarded kids' show?" you
ask? Because other than Noelle (the most irritating character
ever created for the small screen) every character is pretty
cool. Yeah, that's saying a lot for a series who's theme song
is so incredibly bubbly and upbeat that it will drill a hole
in your head and leave you in a ditch to die after you hear
it three times in a row, but it's true. The invisible sister,
Sarah, is ultra hot (when she wants to be seen). Gabriel, the
vampire, has the mouth like a sailor and likes to only suck
the blood from hot chicks. Momma, the witch, is a babe too,
and she can spike a mean volleyball. And we can't forget Miruru,
one of the bestest cat-girls ever drawn! She's so conniving
and selfish it'll bring tears to your eyes. But the coolest
character of all is Silky. I wish I could say more about her,
but it might ruin a good thing for you.
You start
off with the first 4 episodes saying to yourself, "This
is weird.... yet addictive." Then by episode 5 you get
a kick in your pants as to how Tenshi's storytelling can sometimes
punch you in the mouth like Iron Mike. There's a bit of repetition
up through episode 11, but then 12 and 13 slap you in the nuts
until you're at the edge of your seat! The last 5 minutes of
episode 13 make everything up to that point seem well worth
while. We get back into the usual pace of things from 14 to
21, but then 22 kicks you in the ass and makes you stand up
and pay attention. 23 uses a hacksaw to your shins. 24 stabs
you in the stomach with a broad sword. 25 rips your nads off
and stuffs them in a blender!! Then the final episode, 26,
beheads
you, stuffs monkey shit and firecrackers in your neck-hole,
throws your skull off a cliff and watches as your brain blows
up in a multicolor pyrotechnic display sure to please the whole
family!!!!!!.... and all in a good way. The last bit after
the
final closing credits is just the cherry on top.
Tenshi
Ni Narumon... How do I rate thee? I'd have to give
it a 98% out of 100%. I don't know why I like something
this saccharine filled, but I do. I'm even a bit ashamed of
it. Yet that doesn't change my mind.

WARNING!
Satan uses some pretty heavy spoilers in her evil review...
But what did you expect, she's sin incarnate.
...........
What the hell was that?! Tenshi Ni Narumon? Holy fuck
I need an aspirin. That vexing wannabe angel, Noelle, reminds
me way too much of the type of moronic halo-wearing freaks that
run all around Heaven preaching peace and love! They were the
reason I had to get the fuck out of that place!!
This anime
only had one thing going for it: Silky. Silky was my bitch.
If anybody tried to make me an angel again against my will I'd
be pretty pissed off too! I did like Michael for a bit there
in the last few episodes, but then he had to go and redeem his
damn self. Redemption sucks! I was also cheesed when I found
out that Papa had his horn removed. Why the fucking shit would
a person ever cut off a horn on purpose?! Then he lets his little
girl try and become an angel for the sake of a gay boy who hates
her?! What the hell is wrong with this Alabama-backwards incestuous
family?!?!?!?!
I'd rather
watch Pee Wee Herman in that movie theater in Florida over and
over again rather than watch this filth! I only give
Tenshi Ni Narumon 1/4 of a Star out of 5. I just wanted
to shoot Noelle in the head with a harpoon gun after the first
5 minutes.

DOC DAVEWhoa..... This was
a trip. I mean a trip as in the drug induced kind. Lots of
big, cuddly wuddly monsters scaring adorable, big-eyed girls
with
halos. Lots of talk about angels and monsters and demons and
such too. I tried to make an angel myself once. I took a baby
and surgically grafted a pair of albatross wings to its back.
I then added a fluorescent "ring light" to its skull
for the halo. The thing never stopped crying. It ended up flying
around the lab for about 15 minutes trying to find a way out.
I opened the window for it after it took a crap on my head
from
the rafters and it flew out like a bat out of hell! The last
I heard it had apparently fried itself on some power lines
and
blacked out most of downtown Atlanta. The people in the neighborhood
where the power lines were ate like kings that night. I'll
tell
ya, that baby was a chunker!
I'm Gonna
Be An Angel deserves no less than a thumbs
up from me. All those
devices that Dispell and Silky threw at that Noelle girl gave
me plenty ideas for future experiments. Now, if only I could
make my own shape shifting Muse....
