Neo Angelique Abyss

  Anime Review:
Neo Angelique Abyss
26 episodes total; two seasons

Summary: Evil, life-draining demons called Thanatos plague Arcadia due to a lack of Purifiers, people who have the ability to fight and exterminate Thanatos. Angelique the main character is a sheltered girl who attracts the eye of Nyx, a Purifier who sees in her a possibility to bring peace to Arcadia. 

Review:
Pros: pretty bishounen who cook and are charming and considerate
Cons: the plot meanders, the music is forgettable, Angelique is naive and a bit of an indecisive crybaby

Keywords: demons, bishounen, male harem

Rating:
3.5/10
Not a bad series but is disappointing in that the only unforgettable part is the bishounen
