The moment smalltown girl Misaki Suzuhara arrives in Tokyo, she is thrust into the excitement of 'Angelic Layer': a high-tech, fast-paced game where dolls called Angels are controlled by the thoughts of their operator.

Twelve-year-old Misaki, living with her Aunt, quickly makes friends who are as interested in Angelic Layer as she is. Misaki builds her own Angel, Hikaru, and begins competing in battles where will and determination count far more than size and strength. Will Misaki get the hang of Angelic Layer quickly enough to avoid defeat and who is that mysterious man who keeps popping up, anyway? Furthermore, what is the real deal with Misaki's mother?

This DVD contains episodes 1-4 from this series based on the manga from the legendary all-girl studio CLAMP with animation from BONES, the studio behind the highly acclaimed 'Rahxephon'.
