Let me first say that I am not at all sobbing my eyes out right now, nope not at all.
Secondly let me say that I originally watched Ai No Kusabi 2012 back in 2014 and thought it was amazing, though slightly confusing as I had no idea where in the time line things were happening and a lot of the back story was lost.
This version of Ai No Kusabi is definitely worth the watch. First looking at it I'm sure you'll think "oh yeah a yaoi and its BDSM, yum." And to be honest thats exactly what I thought when I first watched it. But
...
this is the saddest and most painfully beautiful love story.
I'm not a huge fan of older anime usually due mostly to the animation and old style of the art, but in this I could look past that all. The soundtrack, pulled on my heart strings so hard, just hearing the song at the beginning of episode two -cries-
The story and characters are amazing in this version, you can understand everyone's feelings and why they feel the way they do, compared to the 2012 version where a lot of the emotion was left out.
I'm not gonna ramble on but I hardly give animes a 10/10 rating, due mostly because I judge a lot on soundtrack, character development, art and plot. But this <3 10/10 I'm completely obsessed. Only half way through and I was texting people to go watch it immediately.
