This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ayashi No Ceres is intense, dramatic and oozing with depth, psychological twists and turns."Disturbing" here is used to show that it does its job well of pulling you in, making you feel every good - and horrible event that takes place in this mini series. It's disturbing in that it moves you, moves your emotions, moves you to fear, feel afraid, feel injustice, feel disgusted, feel happy and feel mesmerized by each character.Shouldn't a horror make you afraid?Shouldn't a thriller make you tense up?Shouldn't action excite you?That being said, this show does to you what it is supposed to do to you. The only way for it not to, is if you happen to be a stone- hearted, desensitized string bean. If that's true, then I'm afraid nothing will ever evoke anything in you :/With that said, I give it a 9/10As a last note, just know it's not intended 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.

This is my favorite show/anime/anything ever.. I love the manga and the anime and everything Yuu Watase does. The depth in this and the classic beauty meshed with drama and action is something I have not seen in shoujo anime for a while now.And Lia.. this isn't just about nudity and hot guys. Also, if a woman character cries that does not make her weak. If everything happened to me that happened to Aya, hell, I'd do a lot more than just cry.

I admit the plot caught my attention, and it started off well, but as the story goes on the series seems to drag at an incredibly slow speed. The images are very graphic and gory. Knowing it is an occult series, I'm still surprised at the vulgarity displayed.
