I’s Pure is a Shounen, Ecchi, Romance about a boy Seto Ichitaka, who has had huge crush on a cute girl in his class, Yoshizuki Iori. This may be the setting for a typical Romantic Comedy but I’s Pure is able to do great things with this plot.
The story starts of normally enough with us getting to know the characters, which is easy enough because they have the generic personalities; hot girl, indecisive guy, perverted friend, childhood friend, etc. Even with these typical personalities the characters are pretty amazingly developed in their own way, through so many situations and after the awkward beginning, the romance begins to develop well throughout the story. Of course there's comedy but it is played down, quite a bit. Like any other Rom/Com, this anime does tend to rely on cliches but the cliches aren't a problem. The real problem is how quickly the story jumps from one situation to another and that is because this really short anime is based on a long manga. But it is pretty easy to overlook that, especially for those who haven’t read the manga, seeing how well the story is illustrated.
The quality of animation is great, with so much detail put into the environments and the characters move fluidly. The girls are well designed, which is essential for an ecchi romance but like most of these types of anime, not much detail was put into the guys. The music was pretty good and it definitely suited the anime but most of the time it was barely noticeable, to make any difference to it.
Overall this is a typical ecchi, romantic, comedy that manages to push the envelope, due to its not-so-original but captivating story. The characters were surprisingly well developed in such a short amount of time. I’s Pure was so close to getting a higher score but it didn’t because it summed up a 15 Volume manga into 6 regular length OVAs. This means that a lot of major developments and some important characters were left out of the story, which was a big let down. At least the parts of the story it tells, it sometimes does a better job than the manga.
So if you haven’t read the manga you wouldn’t be disappointed but you may feel a bit left in the dark about certain situations, which is why I recommend reading the manga. read more

This was a truly touching series. It drew you in from the first episode, and kept you in lows and highs through to the very end. There's no magic or martial arts.
The art was quite good. Overall, it leaves this romantic satisfied. If you're into the "Ross and Rachel" type stories then this is a good one for you.

Both anime's are pretty much about characters who are unsure of their feelings for each other, although Ajimu Kaigan Monogatari is more serious than I"s Pure. I"s is based more on the perverted comedic style while Ajimu Kaigan Monogatari is based more reality ( if that makes any sense at all). Besides these two different styles, both are about two people who cannot give in to their feelings for each other...the female more so than the male.
Slightly different in nature and storyline but has a very similar emotional core to it
What's similar in both Anime: #1... The concept of love-polygons #2...ESPECIALLY the endings of both Anime. You'll enjoy the other if you liked one, for sure!

School-life romance and drama at its finest is what links these two anime together. Both animes but you on an emotional ride of the up's and down's of love!
Although plot is quite different, some main things exist in both: 2 girls and 1 boy, facing lots of problems, until the end. And of course the true love wins.
One other very similar object is travels back into past. Characters always remembers their past and in that way, just like a puzzle, the main plot builds.
