Ai Yori Aoshi

Ao wa yori idette ao yori aoshi.

Blue comes from violet, but is bluer than violet.

So Ao Yori Aoshi means bluer than violet. Quite fitting for the beautiful Aoi with blue hair and violet kimono.


Overall it was a good series. The plot wasn't anything special but it was quite enjoyable to watch Kaoru and Aoi become a truly inseparable couple. "Aoi is irreplaceable to me!!!" shouts Kaoru in the last episode. Other touches the series included Kaoru resting his head on Aoi's lap which was quite sweet. But most of all, as unlikely as the plot was, the interactions in some cases was quite realistic. At one point, Tina beamed at seeing a place she wanted to go to. Kaoru pushes himself forwards, narrows his eyes, smiles and says "You wanna go?". That made me laugh; it is something I would do. And for once, the main male character isn't easily embarassed. Unlike the one in Ah! My Goddess.


(I'm currently watching Ah! My Goddess. Belldandy is sweet but that's the only attraction in this series for the moment...)
