Wonderful character development!
... View MoreYo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
... View MoreReally love this revenge back anime but it is sad that Aya is betrayed by her grandfather just because she is a descendant of some witch type woman. However the romance with her and Toya just makes the anime more sexier and juicer to watch, they are just such a cute couple!9/10 I give this brillant anime!
... View MoreAyashi 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.
... View MoreAyashi no Ceres is perhaps one of my favorite animes.In traditional Watase Yuu stlye (following the hit anime Fushigi Yuugi), Ayashi no Ceres is, in essence, a fairy tale. Also keeping with Watase Yuu style, this anime is a Shounen (girl's anime), though it is recommended for ages above 14 (at least) due to graphic violence, sexuality, and nudity.It's about a girl named Mikage Aya who suddenly discovers that she is the reincarnation of an ancient Maiden, an Angel.Other such characters as Yuuhi, Suzumi, Q-san, and Chidori help Aya along her way to learning how to control this new found power, and to stop the Mikage family from using the DNA (the C-genome) of the Angel for their own personal and selfish gains.Characters like Alex, Kagami, Miyori, and Wei seek to harness the power of the Angel.However, one character remains a mystery... the strange Touya. Just who is Touya and how is he connected with Aya? It's a series with a few good plot twists, and it plays off of the Hagoromo legend which is very well known and popular in Japan. For those who don't know the legend, I suggest a bit of looking up. Depending on where you are in Japan, the legend differs. Each however, deals with an Angel and her Robe (Hagoromo).I recommend this anime (and it's manga as well) to anyone who enjoys a good anime, Watase Yuu, or Japanese Folklore.
... View MoreI originally started this series by reading the manga (japanese graphic novels), which were written by he very talented Yuu Watase. Now, as I said before, this story might not appeal to everyone, but I throughly enjoyed it. When I first watched it, I have to admit that I was a little disappointed at how they seemed to skip around in the story. Most of the beginning is the same, but it order to shorten it, they combined a few scenes. Even so, most of the details are covered.As a music fan, I must comment on the soundtrack, which is fantastic, to say the least. Each song is different, and none are better than the rest. The music is also something that really brings the story to life.I can't speak on the voices, since I haven't watched the dubbed version.Animation: I have seen much better animation than this, but I have also seen worse. There are times when characters will become deformed, which I feel that they do not only to lighten the mood but also to make drawing it easier, but I was upset at the lack of super-deformed chibis, which were abundent in the comics.Even so, I have to give this series a 4.5 out of 5 rating. Because it was a good anime all things considered.
