The beginning: Alexiel is in love with God, but the one favored
by God is her twin brother Rosiel. Soon God "disappears" and
Alexiel rebels against heaven, which is under the rule of a
dictator. She fights against Rosiel, but instead of killing him,
she seals him away in the Earth. However, her rebellion is
unsuccessful and she is captured and punished. Her punishment is to
have her soul and body seperated. While her body is inanimate and
incased in crystal in heaven, her soul will reincarnate on
Earth
as a human being that will die a young and violent death, again and
again, as an outcast from society -- despised and rejected.
Fast forward to her present reincarnation - a delinquent teenaged
boy named Setsuna Mudou.
God is dead, and the end is coming unless the fallen angel Alexiel
can reawaken and prevent it. He happens to be in love with his own
sister, Mudou Sara who loves him in return. Struggling to stay
together in a world bound to condemn them, they attempt to find
happiness. But, Setsuna's destiny catches up with him...for he is
the "Messiah". Kurai and Arakune, two "Evils" from Gehenna run into
Setsuna and recognize that he is the Alexiel, so they continue to
follow him around to see if he will truly be the Messiah.
Also... a strange video game called "Angel Sanctuary" is
responsible for the odd behavior of many people and several
mysterious deaths. The video game was created by an Angel named
Katan, who is loyal to Rosiel. The game sucks the energy from the
user and gives it to Rosiel so that he will have the strength to
awaken from his sleep in the Earth. This game turns one of Sara's
friend's against her and this same friend gives Rosiel the energy
he needs to awaken. Once Rosiel awakens all hell breaks loose for
Setsuna...both Rosiel and his allies keep attacking Setsuna, until
finally Kirie (a young angel in love with Rosiel) tries to kill
Setsuna. As she shoots an energy blast Setsuna's way, Sara steps in
front to save her brother....and died.
A determined Setsuna, with the help of his friends, begin his
journey to Hades to find his beloved Sara - where a huge battle
between angels, demons and a lost God is about to begin!
Sadly, the Anime only covers up to the story plot where i
mentioned. The manga, however, covers the entire story on Setsuna
journey to Hades.
