After an abortive attempt by the United States and Soviet militaries to assault the prison, the Guard of Rose is tasked with infiltrating and defeating the Canyon family to preserve global peace.T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews felt that director Kobayashi Makoto and scriptwriter Akimoto Yasushi failed in their efforts to create a viewable film. Among the films attributes that were panned were the background music sounding eerily similar to the background of the Care Bears Movie, ethereal and fluffy and jarring and likely the result of a fiveyearold banging on a synthesizer, the casting of Mamiya Kurumi as the mecha mascot, Link, who reminding the reviewer of Jar Jar Binks but with a squeaky Japanese womans voice, and otherwise talented actresses playing the voices of the Guard of Rose being uniformly mediocre and less interesting than the girls of the Gall Force, and character designs being bad and characterizations worse. The reviewer ended his enumeration of multiple flaws by stating sic This really IS the worst anime Ive ever seen.Angels has all the elements that could have made a great movie, except for the greatness. ........
