Ai Yori Aoshi

Kaoru Hanabishi, a college student who lives alone, met a beautiful but bewildered girl dressed in a kimono at a train station. He volunteered to guide her way to the address she was looking for, which happened to be in his neighborhood, but turned out to be an empty lot. Not knowing what to do next, Kaoru invited the devastated girl to his apartment and asked for any additional clues to her destination. She supplied him with a photo of two children whom Kaoru immediately identified as himself and Aoi Sakuraba, his childhood friend. It turned out that the girl in front of him is Aoi Sakuraba herself, his betrothed fiancee who came all the way to Tokyo to marry him. Her revelation was not only surprising but also reminded the deepest part of Kaoru's memory for why he left the Hanabishi family in the first place.

Ai Yori Aoshi is a pretty good romantic comedy anime. The story is also really good too. I think that the characters are pretty good, which each being funny in their own way, like Tina always being the rowdy type of girl, Aoi being the understanding one & most loyal, Taeko being a complete klutz, although she doesn't mean to, Miss Miyabi is the more of the stricter type, Kaoru is actually a pretty good guy, Chika is ok & Mayu is the young spoiled brat type of character. Honestly, this is a good romcom anime that I've enjoyed watching, as you can appreciate the ... two main characters bond that much better in each new episode.

Mixed Feelings

I didn't really enjoy this anime much.

I was interested in the premise, and maybe it would have made a better story if it didn't have so much filler. Maybe just as a movie?

I didn't care for most of the side characters. They were all more annoying than funny to me, and I spent a lot of my time rolling my eyes. I would have been happier watching just the first four episodes, and then the last few. Even though romance isn't really my thing, I would have at least enjoyed it more.

The animation was okay. I don't like how they did the eyes in this ... anime, though. The opening and closing songs weren't too bad. The main character has a really cute hairstyle.

Overall, the only reason I finished this anime was because I started it.

Preliminary (8/24 eps)

I want to like you, but you are so generic, and so slow. This is one of those anime you pick up because you thought "maybe i will like it now" and then it just fades into obscurity until you drop it to watch something more interesting.

I can't be the only one who hates the harem where no girl stands a chance, it is so rarely done right despite how many series do it, i find that promotional material actually plays a huge role in this, because it does not matter in the end because the cover girl will win or we will get ... a cop out ending.

Maybe i will pick this up again though i doubt it...
