dunno how I conjured up that idea but suffice it to say, it wasn't of my tastes. The OP on the other hand reminded me of some christian inspirational piece. Character designs were slightly different from the norm in that, the characters didn't seem like your typical characters one might find in many other animes. The art is about average with most other anime. Though I'm not a big fan of "Romance" titles, with some many great reviews, I had to pick it up. (2003) Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~ Miyuki (fantasy prequel).(2003) Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~ (2nd season).(2002) Ai Yori Aoshi - Dream Story (side story).Their self-control and their love will be put to the test when she moves in and he tries to stay a gentleman!ġ:30min Series Opening - YouTube Video The ↗Ai Yori Aoshi franchise: While Kaoru is impressed by Aoi's loyalty, innocence and beauty, to accept her affection, he might have to return to the Hanabishi Clan and the emotional and physical pain he suffered during his childhood. Ever since their arranged marriage 18 years ago, Aoi had been in love with Kaoru, but she traveled to Tokyo to meet him when she learned the marriage had been called off. They never realized they were looking for each other. Aoi Sakuraba just wanted to find her first love. If only the relationship between just two fictional anime characters can draw you in, that means that Ai Yori Aoshi is a winner.2002, College, Drama, Family Affairs, Fan Service, Harem, Modern, Romance, Romantic Comedy, Seinen, TV Normally, the harem motif is awesome, but it slowed down this series. More beautiful females with their own personalities move in, and the relationship between Kaoru and Aoi is mentioned less. Don't get me wrong - the series still rocks, but it GREATLY loses its punch when this happens. Eventually, Kaoru and Aoi are moved to a big mansion, and this great romance series becomes another typical "harem" anime. If they kept the series with just them as characters, I would be thrilled. They are sweet and touching, and the relationship between Kaoru and Aoi becomes solid in merely these four episodes. There is MUCH more to it than that, but let's get down to brass tacks: the first four episodes of this show rule. Kaoru helps the lost Aoi in her search, and they both eventually realize that he is the boy from her past. Aoi is looking for a boy from her past whom she has been in love with all her life.

To sum it up quickly, Ai Yori Aoshi is about a college student named Kaoru who meets a sweet, kimono-wearing girl named Aoi.
