He tries to declare his love to the girl of his dreams but fails. Suddenly, whenever he thinks about this girl, he turns into the legendary phantom thief known as Dark Mousy. Daisuke's mother, very much aware of this, makes him turn into Dark and steal valuable works of art for a purpose unknown to Daisuke. As the story unfolds, he learns why and about his classmate who seems to have the same ability. Review: nice - i got this volume and i was like.. yeah.. i need to get more of these so i got all 7 lol Review: THE PHANTOM THIEF - "COOL!" That was the first impression when looking at the character designs on the DVD cover of the first volume of "D.N.Angel". I decided to check out "D.N.Angel" and usually when there are cool character designs, I have high expectations for the anime series and anime fans, I'm proud to say that "D.N.Angel" does not disappoint. It's definitely a series worth checking out! The storyline is about a teenager named Daisuke Niwa. He has been receiving stealth training by his mother and his grandfather his whole life and really is not sure why he is doing it. Daisuke has a big crush for a girl named Risa and to kick off his 14th birthday, he's prepared to let her know that he likes her. Unfortunately, that was until she tells him that she thinks of him only as a good friend. Daisuke is not exactly having a great birthday but unbeknownst to him, there is a surprise waiting for the new 14-year-old. All that training he learned was because he is the next person in the family line (in 40 years) to be the host of the legendary phantom thief known as Dark. It's all within his DNA and whenever he feels a desire for Risa (even through a photo), Daisuke will transform into Dark. And his family immediately has him on missions to steal an artifact. Of course, Daisuke wants only to be a normal teen and the last thing he wants is to become the phantom thief, Dark. One reason is because when he turns into Dark, Dark becomes somewhat of a playboy who has his eyes set on Risa and poor Daisuke has no recollection of it even happening. And to make things worse, Risa has falled in love with Dark. This sets up the storyline for "D.N.Angel" with a complicated love triangle, interesting characters and reminiscent to of one of my favorite mid-90's TV anime series, "DNA^2". The next two episodes feature Daisuke/Dark on missions to steal more artifacts but also the love triangle between Daisuke, Dark and Risa. But things get a bit more complicated in the first episode when Dark ends up kissing Risa's older twin sister, Riku. But when Riku opens her eyes to see who kissed her, Dark has already transformed back to Daisuke. The fourth episode introduces us to Dark's doppelganer, Krad (who looks like a blonde version of Dark, with white clothing and white wings) and despite the color of their wings, Dark calls Krad a devil with the face of an angel. And we get to see the two go face off against each other! The first volume of D.N.Angel is very exciting because the quality of animation is superb and to think that this is a TV series, the animation looks awesome and you will be impressed when you watch it on your television. Very well done! The voice acting in Japanese and also the English dub are also very well done. And to top things off are the special features available on this first volume. Included on the special features are the clean opening and closing themes, voice actor commentary by two of the English dub voice actors who play Dark and Daisuke, the Japanese promo, Japanese TV spots and also the creation of the opening theme which was cool to watch. As we approach the end of 2004, I was very pleased with the quality of D.N.Angel. The animation, the well-written storyline and the good voice acting thus far surpassed my expectations that I had for this series. I can't say how much I really dig the character designs and as mentioned, the animation, music, and storyline. It all meshes very well together and the result makes me craving for more. It's that good! "D.N.Angel" is one of the few anime TV series released on DVD in 2004 that has hooked me and caught my attention from the get go. I highly recommend checking this anime series out! It's all good! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 22 Reviews | | Format | Animated, Color, DVD, Dolby, Subtitled | | Language | English, Japanese | | Manufacturer | ADV Films | | Runtime | 1 hour and 40 minutes | | UPC | 702727087325 | ## Images ![ADV Films DNANGEL: The Dawn of Dark - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gtySfdZ2L.jpg) ![ADV Films DNANGEL: The Dawn of Dark - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kXDFQiusL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ nice *by E***S on April 29, 2013* i got this volume and i was like.. yeah.. i need to get more of these so i got all 7 lol ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE PHANTOM THIEF *by K***Y on August 13, 2008* "COOL!"

It's all good! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ...can't think of a catchy title... *by D***E on October 23, 2005* Okay, the dvds aren't like the books, but that's okay. The story's still really good, and the theme is very energetic. Plus, there are subtitles. So, what is DNAngel? Basically, it's about a 14-year old boy, Daisuke Niwa, who inherits the "Love Gene", which basically means everytime he thinks about his love, Risa, he turns into his "other self", Dark Mousy. What's special about Dark is 1. He's an art theif and 2. The only way for Daisuke to get rid of him is to have his love, Risa, be in love with him too. There are other characters important to the story, like Daisuke's Mom, and his grandpa. There's also Risa's twin, Riku, his best friend Takeshi Saehara, and of course, Satoshi Hiwatari, a boy with many secrets surrounding him... The voice overs were excellent, and if you enjoyed the books, you'll love the DVD, it just takes a while to get used to the fact that Krad is introduced before Dad is.
