Angelic Layer was CLAMP's first attempt at shonen, and also their fist use of the light, dynamic art style that was later modified for series such as Chobits and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.
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.
Angelic Layer won the Animation Kobe Award for TV Feature in 2001.
