Ayashi no Ceres

I watched this anime recently and was pleasantly surprised. First thing noticed was the animation quality itself, which was a LOT better than in some of the animes I've seen (10/10). The music was also really nice (especially the opening theme, "Scarlet")-- well, maybe except "Cross My Heart" (8/10).

The characters were mostly well developed - from lonely Toya to ruthless Kagami to compassionate Yuhi. The only slightly annoying thing was Aya's tendency to go over-emotional... Overall I'd give character design a 9/10.

But the best thing was, of course, the storyline itself, which was impressively well developed. Although tragic and cruel, it shows how important it is to love and be loved, to feel compassion and to have a family. Perhaps the only drawback to it was that in the first few series, Toya and Aya's relationship got sort of rushed. Although after watching the anime "X", which pretty much had no storyline at all to it, I feel obliged to rate the story of "Ayashi no Ceres" as 10/10.

Beware! "Ayashi no Ceres" contains many very cruel and nasty scenes which are NOT suitable for children.

Ceres is an amazing story! With lovely images and high emotions. It is not a show for children because of some of its content. But its one of Yuu Watases best creations! It has interesting characters and a deep plot line that make you keep guessing what will happen next! Toya is by far the most interesting character because his past is a mystery that is slowly uncovered with the help of Aya who suffers from a family curse! To save her brother she must find the celestial robes for the raging spirit within her known as Ceres.

Its an anime that will take your breath away and will leave you in awe as the story goes on.

I absolutely adored this movie. The graphics are beautiful and contain true emotion, even as you watch. The storyline, although extensive, has enough curves and turns to remain entertaining. After reading the manga, i found the animation on T.V to be thrilling and enriching. Ayashi no Ceres is most definitely a great watch, especially after reading the series. Even though there are several violent moments that quite gory and disgusting, the drama just adds to the plot and you find yourself intertwined with the characters. Even friends of mine who despise Japanese Animation have loved Ayashi No Ceres, it is addicting and thrilling, while maintaining a youthful and light feeling.

The story is unbelievably touching. As short as the anime is the story was fully developed into something finished. You can't possibly expect continuation of it which is really rare in the anime. For the number of times I've watched it so far (above 3 or 4 times) I'm still crying on some of the episodes. Toya was my favorite character. As for the others they were very well developed too. All of the main characters were very likable except for Shiso Mikagi which is not a surprise. The opening song is very beautiful and sad. I still listen to it from time to time which says much since I watched this anime long time ago (like 3 years ago I think). I highly recommend this anime since the story is not only original but very interesting and heartbreaking too.

Well the story is about an angel who go down to the earth, and there is a man whom see her taking a bath. Then the man take something from her, he will return it if the angel agree to marry with him. The story is always heard when we were children, but this is not that simple. Because the angel hates her husband whom she gave her power and kill their older son. The angel became angry and take revenge with kill her husband. Until now they always reborn and reborn,when they reborn they killing each other even they love each other too. LOVE BECOME HATE!

But to bad the main woman character in here (name : Aya), is simply cry. I don't like if the woman character who always cry that's mean that she is WEAK. There is a man named Touya, he is Aya's lover whom handsome and cool. All the character is had many difficult thought and they try to do something to protect someone they loved, and for they wishes for long time.

Different from the comic, in the anime the story is more serious and there is just a little sense of humor. I almost forget that the man character is almost ike Keigo in "kamisama mou sukoshi dake".

THIS ANIME IS BETTER THAN FUSHIGI YUGI, which Watase Yuu created with many scene main woman character naked and she is so easy with any of man.
