3''Angel Tales'' is an {{anime}} about Gorō Mutsumi, a young guy without much luck. Then one day a fortune teller enchants his cell phone and causes 12 of his deceased former pets/animals he encountered in childhood to appear in his room in the form of girls between the ages of 7 and 18, all calling him "master" and competing for his affections. That's...about it, really. It's worth a watch if you're into that sort of thing.

5In the second season, the master-maid element is toned down, and becomes much more like a family drama. The girls try to be normal (at least as normal as possible given the circumstances) and magic is used much less. Also the characters receive a greater amount of character development.

8!!This series provides examples of:
9
10* AnimalMotifs: The girls' hair and behavior are both indicators about what animal they were in their previous lives.
11* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: One of the reasons why the girls are so loyal to Gorō is because he was so sweet and caring to them when they were animals.
12* BigEater: Kurumi, due to her having a fear of being hungry.
13* CatGirl: Tamami, and every other girl imaginable.
14* CharacterTics: Kurumi usually ends her sentences with 'Nano'
15* {{Claustrophobia}}: Ayumi's fear. In fact, ''every'' girl has a phobia, relating to the way she died.
16* ClingyJealousGirl: The girls tend to get this way whenever one of them, or someone else, gets too close to their master.
17* DeclarationOfProtection: The Angels make one towards Gorō.
18* FirstLove: Kurumi Kimihoshi, Gorō's crush back in Junior High who Kurumi is named and modeled after, much to the ire of the other angels.
19* FirstPeriodPanic: The second episode of the second season has Momo becoming embarrassed after getting her first period.
20* HeelFaceTurn: After finding out the truth about why their powers were taken and were sealed away the Saint Beasts become much nicer and loyal to Gorō like the Angels.
21* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Akane's mother thinks so, for good reason: she was killed by them. Akane doesn't agree, even though she also was. The Saint Beasts also believe this as well until their HeelFaceTurn.
22* {{Spinoff}}: The BoysLove series ''AudioPlay/SaintBeast'' was a spinoff, but with only the Saint Beasts and Goddess common characters.
23* TraumaSwing: After running away in embarrassment when everyone makes a big deal over her first period, Momo is found sitting alone on a swing.
24* TrueCompanions: More of this than a traditional harem, though there's still enough romantic tension to go around.
25* UndyingLoyalty: All the angels are extremely loyal to Gorō and will do anything for them, including risking their own lives and facing their worst fears just to keep him safe.
26* UnluckyEverydude: Gorō. He's extremely unlucky, unable to hold onto a steady job and very lonely, of course that starts to change when the Angel's start appearing.
27* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Saint Beasts believe that by reclaiming their powers they can make a better world for all animals, barely caring about the fact that all the humans would be wiped out as a result.
