10. The Six Holy Beasts from Saint Beast: Kouin Jojishi Tenshi Tan

  • Episodes: 13
  • Aired: April 2007 – June 2007

Saint Beast: Kouin Jojishi Tenshi Tan tells the story of six appointed angels, known as Saint Beast, created by the powerful god, Zeus, to govern life on Earth. The angels of Saint Beast are Goh, Shin, Rey, Gai, Judas, and Luca. However, as the six angels of Saint Beast are tasked with responsibilities on Earth, Heaven is stirring with conflict, as Zeus exerts his powers in cruel and controlling ways. As some of the guardian angels start to disappear without a trace, the remaining Saint Beast investigate and attempt to rescue their comrades.

The background of Saint Beast: Kouin Jojishi Tenshi Tan revolves around the relationships of the six angels of Saint Beast. Saint Beast Goh is the mature and eldest one of the bunch, with outstanding leadership qualities and takes his role very seriously. Saint Beast Shin has the ability to manipulate time, but at the cost of his life source and energy. Saint Beast Rey has an affinity for birds since he has the gift of flight. Saint Beast Gai has a childish and playful demeanor, blessed with the ability to control the laws of nature. Saint Beast Judas, one of the fallen angels, has the talent to heal…with his lips. Lastly, Saint Beast Luca, another fallen angel, has the skill of mind-reading. Throughout the anime, the relationship and dynamic of all six angels complement each other in saving Earth and resolving the conflict in Heaven, thus posit as the Top 10 Angel Anime Boys.


9. Chihaya and Kagetsuya from Earthian

  • Episodes: 4
  • Aired: July 1989 – December 1996

Earthian tells the tale of alien beings from another planet called Eden who have been watching over the inhabitants of Earth, the Earthians, for a very long time. As mankind has grown and evolved over the centuries, the overseers of Eden consider the Earthians to be a bit unruly, thus dispatching teams of guardian angels to keep track of their events and on-goings. As the pair of angels tally off the pros and cons of Earth, once the score reaches a certain point, Earth will be destroyed. Earthian follows angels Chihaya and Kagetsuya and their observations of Earth.

Chihaya and Kagetsuya are angels of opposing nature in that Chihaya scores all the good qualities (pluses) that Earth offers and Kagetsuya totals the number of minuses or negatives in the Earthians. With the benefits and downsides of Earthian evolution, Chihaya and Kagetsuya are presented with this challenge of preserving or eradicating Earth. This is why Honey views the angel duo as the Top 10 Angel Anime Boys.


8. Lucifer from Saint Seiya Movie 4: Warriors of the Final Holy Battle

  • Episodes: 1
  • Aired: March 1989

Saint Seiya Movie 4: Warriors of the Final Holy Battle is the story of a group of powerful saints who have sworn their lives to protect the Holy Sanctuary of the Gods.

Outlining Lucifer’s obstacles and journey, Saint Seiya Movie 4: Warriors of the Final Holy Battle targets Lucifer’s desire in becoming the strongest of all the gods.

As there is much turmoil between the gods and the many tiers of saints, Lucifer stands out as the top 10 Angel Anime Boys because he is historically and notably the one angel who has fallen from grace. As he was chosen to be one of Heaven's most favored and later on revolting for his own personal gains. Lucifer is the angel who redefines the imagery of “squeaky clean do-gooder with wings.”


7. Kai Misonou and Shou Hamura from Angel’s Feather (OVA)

Kai Misonou is the younger of the twins. In their previous lives as Princes of the Winfield Kingdom, Shou tells Kai to forget his relationship with him. Later, when leaving the orphanage, Kai was adopted into a wealthy, prominent family. Consequently, in the present, Kai has no memory of his older brother. Moreover, Kai attends the same school as Shou, due to his excellent grades. When his best friend is killed, Kai is saved by his older twin and begins to regain memories of his past.

Shou Hamura is the elder twin. He attends Yuusei Academy for boys alongside his younger twin, Kai, on a sports scholarship.

Both boys, Kai and Shou, possess white wings of the Winfield Kingdom and use magic as a weapon for fighting.

Furthermore, in a familiar position, who has not wished for powers for someone to like them back in return?! Whether he dismisses his divine right or not, God’s Family is a story that features both the sacred and the silly.

Setsuna Mudo, aka Alexiel, makes the list for Top 10 Anime Angel Boys because identical to Lucifer, he disobeys and denounces his true purpose, which is obedience to God. As well as highlighting this twist, this anime reveals that the good guys are bad, and the bad guys are good.

In this time, man mythological beings, e.g., gods, demons, humans, etc., guard this key, until one day a woman stole part of the key.

Michael the Archangel in Rage of Bahamut: Genesis plays a supporting yet powerful role in the anime. Even though he was one of the angels that took part in losing part of the key, he was a great factor in keeping female protagonist Amara from unlocking Bahamut’s seal. Historically, Michael is depicted as fierce and powerful. In this case, Michael from Rage of the Bahamut: Genesis makes the cut for Top 10 Anime Angel Boys.

When I’m taking a break from work/studies, I enjoy a variety of anime, passing a lot of time binging episodes alongside my husband. I also take pleasure in spending time with my two dogs and two cats, hiking, yoga, computer/video games, reading, and trying new cuisines. I’m pretty shy, so writing here has been a great outlet for me to come out of my box.
