Haruka Minazuki and Aoi Kannazuki, lifelong friends and classmates at St. Cherine Academy, are their school's most admired students, but they also work as [[Magical Girl|Magical Girls]], thwarting the nefarious organization Black Auction in their every move, as Red Angel and Blue Angel, respectively. When things go tough, the masked gentleman Misty Knight -- resident [[Chick Magnet]] Yuito Kisaragi -- appears to their aid.
 
Originally pachinko machine characters, the Twin Angels got a two-episode [[OVA]] in 2008. In [[Summer 2011 Anime|summer 2011]], they got a full [[Twelve -Episode Anime]] series, ''Kyunkyun Tokimeki Paradise!!'', in which Haruka and Aoi earn a new ally in the form of the diminutive Kurumi Hazuki, the White Angel, and clashing head-on with the Twin Phantom -- transferees Tesla and Nine Violet.
 
The'''''Kaitou seriesTenshi Twin Angel''''' has also spawned a [https://web.archive.org/web/20130124010650/http://twin-angel.com/comic/news.html set of four] [[Web Comics]], a [[Freeware]] [[Visual Novel]] (''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131014094023/http://twin-angel.com/moviespecial_04.html Maboroshi no Shoujo]''), an internet radio show, and a [[PSPPlayStation Portable]] game, ''Toki to Sekai no Meikyuu'', which adds two new Angels -- Tsukasa Hazuki (White Angel) and Aprille Mattia (Platinum Angel).
 
A series that [[Troperrific|loves its tropes and indulges in them shamelessly]]. Usually runs on the [[Rule of Fun]], [[Rule of Cool]] and [[Rule of Cute]].

{{tropelist}}
* [[Artifact Title]]: Originally the "Twin Angel" team had only two people (hence the name), but the TV version adds Kurumi.
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: How Aoi takes down the mecha in episode 6.
Line 22 ⟶ 24:
* [[Cameo]]: [http://www.dannychoo.com/ Culture Japan]'s mascot, Mirai Suenaga, appears at the start of episode four, and is also one of the hostages.
* [[Camera Fiend]]: Yayoi, and the group of "villains" in episode four.
* [[Catgirl]]: [[Meaningful Name|Nyan Tomochi]], and Kurumi. Kurumi's is an [[Animal -Eared Headband]] in her normal form; in her transformed form, she has different cat-ears that appear to be mechanical and it's not obvious how they're attached.
** In the first episode, Salome has a gas that turns the Angels into catgirls as a distraction. It's surprisingly effective.

Line 28 ⟶ 30:
* [[Clark Kenting]]: Yayoi sees the Twin Angels in Episode 4... up close and personal. And they don't wear masks, hats... anything to conceal their identities. And she still doesn't figure out who they are. Neither are the trio aware that Black Carrier is Saijou-sensei in an [[Absolute Cleavage]]-baring bodysuit.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Haruka
* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]: Black Carrier unintentionally reveals that one of the Seven Amulets is hidden in the belly of Pitan, Nyan's giant salamander friend.
* [[Digital Piracy Is Evil]]: A man uploading videos on the internet is presented as a [[Geek Physiques|fat]] [[Otaku]]. His crime isn't presented as ''too'' heinous, but still...
* [[Dojikko]]: Nyan... and she's always [[Carrying a Cake|carrying a plate of crayfish]].
Line 35 ⟶ 37:
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: The photographers deliberately [[Ignore the Fanservice|ignore Kurumi]] when she tries to get photographed, citing city ordinances. Kurumi is actually annoyed by this.

* [[Gainaxing]]: Aoi. Not on the OVA though, blame [[JC J.C.Staff]] doing the TV anime.

* [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]: The only thing that changes in the Twin Angels' appearance are their costumes, and ''nobody'' seems aware of their identities behind the costumes.
