Angelic Layer (Japanese: 動天使エンジェリックレイヤー, Hepburn: Kidō Tenshi Enjerikku Reiyā) is a Japanese anime series. It is based on a manga by Clamp. The anime aired on TV Tokyo from April 1, 2001 – September 23, 2001. Seven volumes of videos were released by ADV Films on VHS and DVD in 2003. It was re-released in 2005 as a five volume box set. North American publisher Dark Horse Comics re-releases Angelic Layer in omnibus format in 2011. Sentai Filmworks re-released the series under their Sentai Selects label on November 24, 2015.
Angelic Layer takes place in the same universe as Clamp's later work Chobits, which similarly deals with the relationship between humans, human-created devices, toys, and godlike power. Several characters also appear in Clamp's Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE including most of the main characters, as well as the angel Blanche.
