Kasei Yakyoku

Both anime were created by the same team: written an directed by Satoshi Dezaki with art and character designs by Akio Sugino. Their style is immediately recognizable and created many classics such as Ashita no Joe, Ace wo Nerae!, Golgo 13, Versailles no Bara and many more. Both Onii-sama and Kasei apply this to mature anime for women, both of them with dark tones and over the top melodrama. Kasei is basically the movie-in-a-movie the cast of Oniisama watches in episode 25. It's even darker, and has more adult scenes (sex and violence) - it takes over where Oniisama had to end due to PG-13. The stories both involve upper class women, school aged in Onisama and early 20s in Kasei. read more
