I still have memories of an anime I watched back in 2001 called, I’m Gonna Be An Angel! This absurd, wacky and absolutely adorable anime was produced by Studio Pierrot (Fushigi Yugi, Naruto, Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho) and was initially distributed to North America by Synch-Point.  They had unbelievably poor marketing for the show, so much so that I still cannot pinpoint exactly how my friend was able to stumble upon it back in the day and introduce me to it.  Due to their lack of energy for the anime, it took four years to release the first three volumes and the last three have and probably will not be distributed to North America in the foreseeable future.

The anime is suitable for all ages and definitely one of those shows that needs to be watched in small doses, due to the overwhelming amount of energy and mayhem and cuteness.  I am unsure if I could, given the chance, watch the entire show in one sitting, due to these inherent dangers, but that doesn’t change the fond memories I still harbor for it.

I’m Gonna Be An Angel is about a young girl named Noelle, who, as the title puts it, is working to become an angel.  After being found in the forest by a student named, Yuusuke, Noelle and her insane family move in with Yuusuke, much to his disapproval.  I remember loving Noelle’s older brother the most.  He was a vampire named Gabriel, had purple hair and was allergic to cats.  The rest of Noelle’s family is just as peculiar, including her older sister Sara that wanders around invisible, her younger sister Lucca, the mad scientist, and Miruru, a catgirl.  Noelle promises to marry Yuusuke after she completes her training and while Yuusuke is not too fond of this statement, he gradually falls in love with Noelle, despite his crush on a classmate before meeting the angel-in-training.

The show’s antagonists are Dispel and Silky, who’s motivations are unclear other than to interfere with Noelle’s training and keep her from becoming an angel.  Meanwhile, Noelle is encouraged by Mikael, a student angel, to continue her good deeds while each are overlooked by a professor from the Angel School, Raphael.

It sounds ridiculous, I know, but what fun is anime if you don’t take a break from the serious dramas and enjoy laughing at a show you can barely understand?  I’m Gonna Be An Angel is sure to brighten any gloomy day for those who have not seen it and for those of us who have, let’s use our collective hope that the rest of this show will be released.
