If you're looking into this show, it's probably for one of three reasons. You're doing a deep dive on magical girl anime, you're into kaitou anime, or you're a fan of Arina Tanemura. These are all good reasons to enjoy this anime. However as a stand alone story, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeane doesn't stand very well on its own. It scratches a lot of very specific itches. But it will not appeal to casual fans, or fans that don't already have a specific reason to seek it out. Please keep in mind this is a review from someone who has not read the original manga.
Story: 5 The story involves a girl who is the reincarnation of Jeane d'Arc. She goes around sealing away demons that possess various objects (usually jewelry and works of art.) The people who own these possessed items often become extreme cr…

This anime is genuinely one of the worst magical girl animes I’ve ever seen. I have so many problems with it… Why is a history nerd watching this type of garbage anyway? Well someone recommended it, I felt like it was a task so I had to finish it. Oh my god the amount of bullshit it has is unbelievable. I thought it would be interesting but NOPE. Even by 90’s mahoshoujo anime standards, the characters, the designs, the writing… most of all these were horrible. I only liked Miyako’s dad and his silly group. Chiaki was awful and SO UGLY I couldn’t see the appeal. He had zero personality beyond Maron. Sinbad was interesting at first but even after he lost it all. The designs… 90% of the cast look alike. The eyes are SO horribly big even sugar sugar rune didn’t make me this uncomfortable. THE…

I am honestly so disappointed with how this show went. This was the very first manga that I ever picked up and that was back in 2005. I had just learned that there was an anime created after rereading the manga again and was so excited initially.
The art and animation did not do Arina justice. The manga is beautiful but this anime was so weak.
Spoilers ahead:
One thing I love about the manga is the relationship that builds between Maron and Chiaki. Unfortunately, it feels like Chiaki is really just a side character in the anime and he's not there very often. It also takes forever for Maron to learn that Chiaki and Sinbad are the same person and I think that just hinders the relationship that gets built. Weirdly in episode 33 at only about 8 minutes in, Maron says she can't trust him la…

In my opinion this anime is really underrated. I don't understand why some people say that this anime is for kids. I think everyone can watch and enjoy this one. Honestly I believe that this is the best anime story ever. Of course there are some things that I don't like, Chiaki and Maron became too quick lovers, I think it would be better if Maron hated him a lot, and than got closer, that's actually the only thing that annoys me. Because Maron is a servant of god and Chiaki the servant of de the devil. I think if Maron wanted to kill him it would make more sense, maybe that's why some people call this anime ''for kids'' because some things do not make any sense, but that's just one thing because this anime is still amazing and I think everyone needs to see it.

I overall really enjoyed this anime. I love stories with adventure, fantasy, romance, drama, and especially comedy. This anime pretty much has it all. The characters are probably the best part about this show. They really know how to make you laugh and cry at the same time. I loved the romance between the two main characters, getting to see their relationship blossom was my favorite part about the anime. The art style was never my favorite, however, after a few episodes I actually grew to really like the style the anime was drawn in. It's very unique, and it fits well. The story is great as well, my only complaint is that it's a bit repetative. On multiple occasions I found myself thinking, "I feel like they've used this same clip for the same scene in at least 10 of their episodes". None…

So this anime is great, i love the romance, i love the magic, i love the characters.
story : 8/10
i said i love this anime, but this anime is really stressed on what is absolute evil and what is absolute kindness, im kinda against that so i personally think this is an anime for younger kids and would like u to know that the plot is great its just my personal issues. There are good points and bad points to both the anime and manga, i recommend watching both. The manga have a better ending, though the anime already have a happy ending(i meant it you are not new to anime you pretty much know all this kinds of anime leads to happy ending) but the manga ending is like even more happy or something?
If you watch both, you will get a very detailed backstory for each main character.
art : 10/10…

Just finished watching this last night. I overall really liked it, but I was slightly disappointed with the ending, I felt like it was slightly incomplete. So I might read the manga. Maybe.
Story 8/10
Decent. At first I was a little alarmed by the similarities it drew to Saint Tail, but meh, whatever. I liked it enough, so yeah. Whatever.
Main=Thief=reincarnation of Jeanne d'Arc (I'm assuming Joan of Arc)
Romance: Absolutely there. Wished there were more episodes to fully showcase it. Typical good girl/bad boy. Art 6/10
Slightly displeasing to my eye, because I'm not a huge fan of when the eyes are overly big, but meh, didn't bother me too much after a few episodes.
Sound 7/10
Pretty good. I just didn't really like how some of the music was really random and out of context. Why, W…

I like the manga better.
IMHO the anime was rather drawn out. It could be shorter.
And the end is a bit... Hm. How do I put it? It didn't feel like closure.
Not to say that I didn't enjoy it.
It's good in its own way. Parts of it crack me up in a good way.
And Chiaki's weapon arsenal is rather impressive. I wonder why he didn't use it?

I didnt like this anime because of the plot twist, which made the anime pointless if you ask me. The story plot from start till finish was unoriginal, a recycled idea from a few other anime that is similar to this (only i cant remember what they are called, something to do with a Tail? lol) although it did have a more stronger romance element to it, which was ok, I suppose but the religious and historical angle of this anime made a mockery of everything that has to do with the catholic religion and history and i didnt like that bit of it at all because they put a comedy spin to it n there shouldnt have been one....Not to mention the art and character development were old-style and rubbish to watch, the colouring so bold and over-powering and for me personally, I enjoy rather recent artisti…

I just finished watching this anime for the second time today, and I adore it. I love the plotline, and the characters have great personalities.
The story and progress of the story is a little slow in the beginning, but Maron's past and her slowly evolving bond with Chiaki managed to keep me interested. Of course, her adventures as Kaitou Jeanne and the adorable Fin Fish, as well as the mystery around Kaitou Sinbad and Access rope you in as well.
The second season is when this story really starts to get amazing, in my opinion. You start to learn more about Jeanne d'Arc herself, Maron and Chiaki become closer, and the drama gets more intense as it progresses as you learn more about Maron's parents. Not to mention what you learn about Fin. ;D
I love this anime for many reasons, and if you…

One of the best animes I have ever seen seen…
The story revolves around 16 year old Maron who lives alone. Despite not being the most eager or the most courageous person in the world she happens to be the reincarnation of Joan de Arc, She lives as a art thief in the eyes of people around her, But the truth is that she actually exorcises demons and monsters from art. This causes the art she has cleansed to dissapear as she has removed the demons..
One day a new neighbor moves in the dorm she has, A boy whom makes an impression on Maron the day he transfers into her schoolclass and moves into her dorm nextdoor appartment.
Who is this boy? And what is the secret he seems to be hiding??
I really recommend this anime, It has romance, drama and lots of action. You will surely be surprised..

My first anime. I was so moved. I enjoyed watching my first anime Dearest (as I called them later). As I liked Chiaki I hated Fynn.
Watching this anime I had fun, but for me, manga was better. Anime isn't so close to manga, and some actions are really bad. Oh, and I hate openings. I always skipped them >.>

There isn't much to see just:
1)must see; 2) must see; 3)must enjoy ^_^
Then I was a teenager I used to watch this and imagined that I am that brave, strong, lissome girl. I knew all phrases when she is transforming and that was my inducement to be better and alarm-clock which woke me up every morning with smile, bravery and impulse to continue what I have started.
Story is about friendship which could be very mystical and disloyal, about love which can be beautiful but in the same made-up, bet from the start till beginning it always is truthful to yourself which teaches us to love ourselves too. Great!

A mahou shoujo show, a genre that might interest some, and chase off pretty much everyone else. KKJ might not give us any new spins in this highly niche genre, we can't help but love it anyway?
Story
KKJ doesn't exactly provide anything ground breaking story-wise. It's standard mahou shoujo material. Like many other thieves you may find in other anime, Jeanne oddly enough tells the police beforehand she actually plans to steal something, and magically completes her missions successfully, foiling the police each time. While there is an obvious plotline, majority of the anime is fairly episodic. It follows a monster of the week pattern, so each week (or should I say each episode) Jeanne seals another artwork, normally helping non-returning characters that have problems most likely due to th…
