Under advice from a friend, I watched both Ai Yori Aoshi and Ai Yori Aoshi: Enishi. While the story isn't my cup of tea, I fell in love with it, and wouldn't mind recapping the entire anime series, though I've yet to see the movies. Basically, it deals with 2 characters that were engaged in their youth, and despite the events that transpired before the day they found each other again, Aoi Sakuraba is still devoted to the person she was to wed, even with the engagement called off. Talk about devotion!! Along the way, other characters enter, some interacting with the past of male lead Karou Hanabishi, who has a history not only alongside Aoi, but a bit of a negative one from the clan behind his surname. Amidst all this, as typical of most harem anime, comedy ensues in the series as well.
Both Ai Yori Aoshi, and the 12 episode follow-up, Ai Yori Aoshi: Enishi, gets the best of the best from me: 10 of 10. I can like many anime, but I fell in love with this one. Definitely one anime I plan to go back to among boredom. You can disagree with me, call me a sap, whatever, but this anime touched something in me that made me love it. I'll return with another review some time in the near future, but the Ai Yori Aoshi series is worth looking into if you're a fan of the harem genre.
