SynopsisThe story is set in the future on the planet named Amoi which is controlled by a supercomputer named Jupiter. Among the mostly male human population, the light-haired elite class is allowed to temporarily keep the dark-haired "mongrels" as pets. One elite member, Iason, encounters a mongrel named Riki in the slums and decides to take him in. However, Iason keeps Riki longer than it is socially approved, and rumors abound about their possible relationship. |

Don't waste your time on this remake unless you just want to see a glossier version of the story. Other than that you will get NOTHING from this story. No character develop, no story development, no coherent story, nothing about how Iason and Riki truly feel. Heck you won't even get an ending!! Why didn't they just remaster the original OVAs and call it a day? Now apart of me don't want to blame the production company completely, as they planned to have a full series with 12 episodes but they obviously only had enough to make four and just stopped it right after the ending of the fourth episode. This really blows that stupid and vapid yaois like Junjou Romantica can get two 12 episodic seasons yet a beautiful and sensual story like this one can't even get past the fourth freaking episode. Something is seriously wrong with this people. Anyway, the artwork was great and the sound was wonderful but this 2012 version is proof that artwork and sound are the least most important aspects of an anime. If you want to watch a somewhat full Aino Kusabi story then watch the original one and please read the novels. If you're just curious about how they remade the characters then watch this one and that's all. read more

Mirage of Blaze is a unique anime that is similar to AnK but at the same time rather dynamically different. If you enjoy BL anime where the two main characters are constantly ‘clashing’ against each other and thus creating a sort of love/hate relationship with a huge dose of drama then give Mirage of Blaze a try. The relationship development in MoB is far more subtle than in AnK so take heed if you are not a fan of historical dramas and lack the patience to endure through a slow paced story. However MoB is worth watching, if you are unsure whether you will like it give it a try first.

Yami no Matsuei, Ai no Kusabi, and Mirage of Blaze makes up the three classic triads of this type of BL anime. To start off Yami no Matsuei is similar to AnK in that the main antagonist is very similar to Iason in both possessiveness and obsession over their ‘love’ interest, but at the same time both have ‘to die for’ looks that makes it impossible for you to hate them. Both these anime unfolds into a complicated plot that keeps you absorbed by the conflict – which usually involves some kind of drama between said main characters – and the story arc ending will leave you in a pretty satisfied condition. If you are a fan of AnK watching Yami no Matsuei is a must.
