Synopsis

Long ago there was a war in Heaven which resulted in Judas and Luca – two of the six specially-chosen, talented and strong Saint Beasts – being cast out and imprisoned in Hell for leading the rebellion. But before that Heaven had been a peaceful place where the angels happily lived their lives. In this time, Judas, Luca, Goh, Shin, Rey and Gai are adolescent angels in Heaven who, on the day of Benediction, are made into adults by the supreme god Zeus. With each of the six having their own special abilities and new adult bodies to get used to, opportunities to meet each other arise and new friendships are formed. (Source: Anivide)

Audience Consensus

The Saint Beast OVA is visually appealing but suffers from a weak and confusing plot. Many viewers find the flashbacks and numerous characters difficult to follow, especially without prior knowledge of the parent anime. Ultimately, it's seen as primarily eye candy with little substance.
