Angels in The Court - Media - Anime

Anime

Court no Naka no Tenshi-tachi was adapted into a four-episode, direct-to-video animated series by Pink Pineapple, parent of Pinpai, from October 27, 2000 to January 25, 2002. NuTech Digital acquired the licenses for the first pair of episodes around May 2001, publishing them under the name Angels in the Court as separate VHS and DVD releases until when they were bundled into a DVD box set from November 2001 onward. Notably, the English dubs featured the voices of Brooke Haven and Shayla LaVeaux. Additionally, Banzaï, a French redistributor, published an iteration of the series under the name Vestiaire Olympique. The concluding two episodes, titled Kaette Kita Court no Naka no Tenshi-tachi (帰ってきたコートの中の天使達, Kaette Kita Court no Naka no Tenshi tachi?) were released to DVD on October 26, 2001 and January 25, 2002, but were never localized outside Japan.

The original two episodes of Court no Naka no Tenshi-tachi did not contain an opening animation and thus, no opening theme. The ending credits were however, accompanied by the song Koi no Super Ace (恋のスーパーエース, Koi no Supa Esu?), performed by Mari Adachi and Mie Sonozaki. The second pair of episodes were opened with Kimihe no Victory (キミへのVictory?), performed by Kahoru Sasajima and Kimiko Koyama, and closed with the song Watashi ha Ball (私はボール, Watashi ha Boru?), performed by Mari Adachi and Anda Zakimie.

The anime received generally positive reviews. Industry aggregator Mania.com gave the box set a B, calling the visuals "solidly done" with "good animation, pretty girls, and some seriously funny scenes".
