I'd describe this as a Sailor Moon-esque anime. The typical magical girl/shoujo anime where a girl has to defeat evil with the unwanted help from some sexy bishounen. In a nutshell, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne is about Maron Kusakabe, a lonely girl who happens to be the reincarnation of Jeanne d'arc, the French hero who fought in the Hundred Year's War because she "heard the voice of god." In reality, she was actually given the power to seal demons and give God power. With the help of Fin, a tiny semi-angel, she seals demons in order to save Kami-sama (God) and restore his power over the Devil. In the process, she meets Chiaki/Kaitou Sinbad who seems to be interfering with her and God's will.
At first I assumed this was going to be a boring anime, with constant repetition. Though I was right, this series added a sweet twist to it. I recommend reading the manga instead of watching the anime. Both are good, but the ending in the manga is much better than the anime. We also see more plot development, with Maron finding out about Chiaki's identity in only about three chapters. I love the love story in this. How Chiaki helps Maron through her loneliness, gives her courage to contact her parents, and how he helps her defeat the Devil. I definately recommend this to any Sailor Moon/ Shugo Chara/ lonely people who need to feel better :).
