Angelic Layer; AKA, how they could have sold a million customizable barbies

I love Angelic Layer and is the most underrated anime made by CLAMP in my opinion.

Yo I remember hearing about the premise of the show and wishing it was real 🥲

I'd love it to be real. Only thing I'd change is that the headset you wear lets you see through the eyes of the Angel itself so that when you have all that terrain you can still see what's going on :P

Imo looking on from the outside would give you a better overview of the situation than a first-person perspective^^

@@elecrom_9757 It would but you'd have to have really open terrain as otherwise there'd be situations where you couldn't see your angel. Also tricky if you want to dodge an attack and the opponent angel is between you and your own one so you can't see how best to move yours

Oh! there are these dolls called Smart dolls! if they combine then with the right tech then it will be really close to angelic layer!

This is definitely a series that needs more love. Also it would be awesome if Angelic Layer were real. The Chobits connections are more obvious in the manga. In the Chobits manga, it's revealed that Kaede (Blanche's Deus) was Minoru's sister, but that in the time between the two series she passed away. It's also suggested that Icchan from Angelic Layer is also the one who created the persocoms in Chobits, including Chi and her sister Freya, the "Chobits" of the title. Angelic Layer is also referenced in other CLAMP mangas - Tsubasa (obviously), but also Card Captor Sakura and Kobato. The Angelic Layer manga also references Magic Knight Rayearth, since in the manga Misaki names her Angel after Hikaru from MKR, who she admires for being powerful despite being small like her. (Hikaru's design is also likely inspired by Hikaru from MKR, even in the anime continuity where Misaki instead named Hikaru after her favorite doll).

Well, if you checked these two: Cutieroid Project and Masiro Project(are both humanoid robots) we already have technology to make these as physically available toys, the real question is how do we make them purely a toy that only works within a wireless charging system that makes them "alive" and move very effortless(double joint style ball jointed dolls with rotors and micro-controllers).

Angelic Layer is one of the greatest anime of the 2000s. It accomplished in 26 episode what Pokemon couldn't with a billion. Simple, short and full of memorable, three dimensional and well written characters. The Angel fights are also great. They have a real world feeling to them. I could talk endlessly about the rich fight psychology used in all of Hikaru's battles, including those with Shirahime and Athena. Most of all, the series feels geniune and real. The whole reason Angelic Layer exists is moving as it is, and then you see where it evolves from there.

I WISH we could do this.

There's been a lot of remakes? Do you mean live action stuff or animated remakes? I've heard of some of the live action shows but I've been out of the anime loop mostly for a while so dunno what's going on there

@@warlordsquerk5338 at the time there was a lot of remakes/ continuation of shows centered around female characters. So I was hoping that angelic layer would fall into that category either as a remake or a continuous story. It's been two years since I made this post but it ain't too late yet! Maybe they'll think of it some day. :)

Will try to watch this one after I get done with my watch anime list!

Angelic Layer did have a game released for the Game Boy Aadvence.

It's like building a ball jointed doll 😁

As dope as this would be I doubt that technology would be put into angelic layer. Although something similar could happen.

this anime was close to my heart, since my mother was bound to a wheelchair for 35 years due to her MS, though she was in my life unlike misakis

The game I wanna play but never can

Re-learning the plot, this was Real Steel before Real Steel, and it's awesome! And now I want a live-action (in the same quality levels of Alita: Battle Angel) movie or series, just to get this back into the mainstream. It's so cool! Cute and badass little combat dolls that perform super cool fights. Hell, now I want one too.

Still need to watch this one

It's out on Blu-Ray so definitely give it a shot!

rewatched it too! still my dream tech (my current career path is because of this anime!)

I really want to finish this one. I remember watching the first episode with some friends back in high school and enjoying it, but I never got to see the rest. I loved everything about it. Cutesy anime with an action side plot--sign me the fuck up.

Totally missed this one. Love your videos! hope you continue making more!

Angelic Layer honestly reminds me of Nintendo's Custom Robo series.

interesting!

i hope one day.

I loved this video, I loved the fruitful comparisons to other troupes in anime and the reveal on how this one does it differently (which is fine) and still manages to do really good. Not saying troupe anime is bad, no no. You adding that in made me smile! I would L O V E if we could play angelic layer in real life. I have an active imagination and I want to test out just how awesome I could be in the layer! I'm sure there's different aspects to it but still! My little sister dreamed of making this a reality herself, so maybe she'd pull it off? Here's hoping haha! But if anyone else wants to give it a go PLEASE DO. YOU'LL MAKE SO MUCH MONEY! And lastly. Life is strange 3 is launching in a few hours from now woo!

Im building this in vr

Chobits and Angelic Layer is set in the same universe? Chi Heavy-Arms Combat Configuration when??

In the manga Chobits is a sequel of Angelic Layer.

i still have THE BOX SET :D

Amgelic Layer is Toy MMA.

weirdly enough this would be a game that be for both boys and girls yet with one exception is main players are all female cause well You playing with doll not action figures. Yet I think, if it came to real life everyone would love to take part of the arena and the doll would be far more diverse.
