Anime: Ai Yori Aoshi

Ai Yori Aoshi


Hey everyone again! Today I'm gonna talk about the anime "Ai Yori Aoshi". This anime is one of my favs of all tiime. I think it had great moments there,but also some flaws...but what isn't flawed and is beautiful,right?

Story:(9/10)
I guess storyline is one of the main features of anything,so let's discuss this first.
The story goes around about a boy named "Kaoru Hanabishi"(I stuck with western naming order),The primary male protagonist of the series. He's a normal student in collegue and he's a good student all together.(Unlike many anime where the hero is either a straight A's student or a loser...sorta speak). What's amazing about him is that he's not your typical hero kinda guy. He's not physically strong,not a pretty boy with issues...just a normal guy! He's generally well liked and is a member of the photography club at Meiritsu University. He harbors a dark past in him, he shows great hatred to his family(Hanabishi clan) .
He harbors a deep dislike for the Hanabishi clan due to their inhumane treatment of himself and his mother, which was due in turn to that clan's disapproval of his parents' relationship and resulted in Kaoru leaving the clan. Kaoru's mother and father never married, and he was an illegitimate child. His back is scarred from when he was tortured with a bamboo cane for trying to prevent his grandfather from burning mementos of his dead mother. Living alone up till now, he has led an average, if not lonely, life. When Aoi(The primary female protagonist of the series) came he was, at first, startled at her visit, not remembering almost anything from before. Aoi comes to him in hopes for a marriage....Will he marry her? what will happen? and what his and her family have to say in this?...

Characters:(9.5/10)
The characters of this anime show great deal of emotions and personal effect. In my humble opinion,every character had grown ,along the story,very well. Characters like Tina Foster are fun to be with,and also fun to watch :) .

This anime is one of my favorite because of its purity and somewhat good romantic touch in modern sense. I recommend watching this anime for all of you lovey dovey out there ;) .
