''Angel Tales'' (Japanese "Tenshi no Shippo" and also known as "Pets") is an Anime Television Series released in the US by Bandai that follows Gorō Mutsumi, who has exceptionally Bad Luck and is having difficulty obtaining a part-time job as the series opens. In heavy rain he takes shelter and meets a Fortune Teller on the side of the street, who gives him a cell phone and predicts that his luck will soon change. Later that night, he finds three women in his Apartment who claim that they are his Guardian Angel s, and that they were all Animal s in their Past Lives .


PLOT


Gorō Mutsumi has no luck at all, not with jobs, nor with his school, and especially not with women or girlfriends. That is until the day he meets a fortune teller who informs him he will have a fateful encounter and gives him a cell phone with which she promises his luck changing for good. Gorō does not believe her as she just vanishes and as he remembers all her previous times of bad luck with women. That is until he meets three girls who are waiting for him back at his apartment. They say they are now his Guardian Angels , sent to Earth from the spirit realm by the Goddess . They are the first three of his twelve beloved pets who had died due to Gorō's poor luck to return to him on earth. Soon after more and more of his former pets return to him as guardian angels, and each desires to be seen as number one in his heart, as his favorite pet. Each also has fears which they must overcome, fears from their past lives, for to overcome them and to learn to live with each other as one big family is the only way they will ever stand a chance of helping Gorō turn his life around and gain some good luck that his life was missing.

These girls however are not the only ones on earth, because of Gorō's own past life, because of what he was in another time and another place there are people out there trying to put a stop to these girls turning his luck around. For their own reasons these people fear Gorō and desire him out of the way. As the story progresses the girls learn they must protect Gorō not only from his own bad luck but from these other people, without fully understanding either who they are or why they want to harm their beloved master.
