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 ;) .

Anime: Lovely Complex

Hey everyone! I'm writing today about anime! Oh how I love anime. I'm "supposed" to be old for some people,but I think watching anime shouldn't has to do with age,but rather with spirit...Oh god,I'm starting to talk like an old geezer already,lol.(I'm actually 20 years old,but where I come from,that's quite old to still be watching anime!).

I have seen some interesting anime,and some were quite disappointing I'm afraid to say. But the ones that were good,I thank god that I got to watch such wonderful ...."Stories". Well,as I said before,I think differently(look at my "about me" section) so I don't actually look at what other people like and like it just because! I tend to see for myself..(woah,could that be any more vague?). I mean,not just cuz someone said that certain anime's great it doesn't mean that it IS great,I HAVE to check it first and judge for myself.(probably many of you say that you do the same and what's new about it...well,I just thought to clarify things,lol)

Well,I'll talk today about one of the completed anime series. "Lovely Complex"!


Lovely Complex


I have to say that it's one of the most anime that had value in it. I believe that its story is so charming and captivating that it deserves my respect and everyone else's as well!. It's about two persons(a guy and a girl,as usual...well duh) met casually and nothing interesting happened except after a while they kinda got on each other's nerves which made class mates around them laugh at them which gave them a title(watch it to know the title's name). They were unusual in that they were really different from each other but at the same time they're quite the same :) . The boy's 155 cm tall and the girl's 172 cm. So you see the contrast in their heights!. As the story progresses,one of them will fall for the other,of course the other won't realize that cuz they don't think of them the same way they do...(Well,I kinda confused myself there,but just watch the anime,k?). Will they learn to truly love each other despite their difficulties both on personal and social scales? What will happen to them.....all that and more,just watch the da** anime already....just kidding there,but I mean it! It's worth your every penny(or bandwidth....lol).

Well,hope you learned something there....cya
