History YMMV / AngelSanctuary

* AmericansHateTingle: The series has gotten a much more negative response to the Christiin and Jews in the West for appropriating and misrepresenting [[UsefulNotes/{{Judaism}} Judaism]] and [[UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}} Christianity]].

** The opposite is actually true - the love story between Setsuna and Sara was the actual plot of the manga. After all, Setsuna only pulled an Orpheus because he wanted his Eurydike (Sara) back and, well, things just... [[TraumaCongaLine continued]] from there, but the fact that Setsuna and Sara wanted to be together and find each other was the {{red|StringOfFate}} plot thread that went through the series.

* PuritySue: Jibril, if one looks at everything the various angels say about her. Jibril was apparently an angel as tough as nails but also as gentle as a cloud itself. She openly antagonized Sevothtarte, was kind and mindful of Grigori, even crying for their unfair fate, and went along well with practically every other angel. (Except Michael, who hates women in general) Jibril apparently had ''no'' faults of her own.
** Couples as InformedAttribute as Jibril herself never actively appears in the story.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: A frequent complaint from the series' detractors. Kaori Yuki [[ShownTheirWork has done her research]] in creating a dark fantasy world loosely based on Christian Mysticism filled with [[EnsembleDarkhorse lovable extras]], [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome epic battles]], AwesomeArt and [[{{Fanservice}} pretty people who often go at least half-naked]]. So why why ''why'' are we spending so many pages watching [[IdiotHero Setsuna]] {{Wangst}} over [[BrotherSisterIncest his desperate need to stick it in his sister]]? And would she ''please'' either [[TookALevelInBadass step up to the plate]] or [[DamselInDistress at least stand still long enough for the heroes to rescue her]] [[PlotTumor so we can get back to saving the world already]]?

* {{Squick}}: Being the OfficialCouple doesn't make it any less queasy for some readers that Setsuna and Sara are [[BrotherSisterIncest biological twins]].

* EsotericHappyEnding: Several of the main characters manage to survive the series, but [[spoiler: Kato remains dead. And with Kira dead, too, Kato's murder will likely not be solved. Setsuna and Sara are ''still'' siblings, so society, friends and family will still try to keep them apart and they'll be fugitives for life. Heaven and Hell's layers are still either destroyed or floating aimlessly around, Heaven now has ''no one'' in a position of leadership and Adam Kadamon, as well as the Creator, are gone, too.]]

* DracoInLeatherPants: The author was not really pleased that YaoiFangirls were willing to excuse any atrocity Sevotharte committed. [[spoiler:Only after [[SamusIsAGirl the character's true gender was revealed]] did the fans turn on her, despite that the same chapter also gave a RapeAsDrama FreudianExcuse for her actions.]]

* SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove: Since the OVA only covered 4 out of 20 volumes, there may be high hopes for a television sequel.

* WorldOfWoobie: Let's face it, pretty much every character in this series could use a hug.

* HoYay: [[HoYay/AngelSanctuary Has its own page]]

Only after [[SamusIsAGirl the character's true gender was revealed]] did the fans turn on her, despite that the same chapter also gave a RapeAsDrama FreudianExcuse for her actions.

* CompleteMonster: You could make a case for Rosiel (post-madness) and Sevothtarte. Granted, both of them have semi-sympathetic back-stories and motives, but given [[MoralEventHorizon the sheer amount of shit they pull]], that only goes so far. God, however, is unambiguously monstrous; despite only appearing in person during the SeriesFinale, His actions and their aftereffects paint a ''very'' clear character portrait well in advance.

* MindScrew

* DracoInLeatherPants: Sevotharte was intended by the author as a CompleteMonster, and she was not really pleased that YaoiFangirls were willing to excuse any atrocity "he" committed. Only after [[SamusIsAGirl the character's true gender was revealed]] did the fans turn on her, despite that the same chapter also gave a RapeAsDrama FreudianExcuse for her actions.
