In an attempt to play catch-up
So, I have this list on the right-hand side of my blog that contains anime series I've been meaning to watch. I assure you all, that I am slowly making my way through it. SLOWLY.
That said, I've been doing what I can to watch Ai Yori Aoshi lately. I've reached disc 4 of 5 (meaning I watched the first 15 episodes) and it's still ok. It's not awesome. Just ok. I purchased it from Half-Price Books....so I didn't spend a lot of money on it. Which is good, because it's not worth a lot of money to me. It may have been better to just get it from Netflix and leave it at that. But I suppose it's ok this way, since then the convention circuits can watch it if they want to. It's a harem anime....which I always feel mildly disgusted at myself for liking. But this one at least is different. It's cute. I LIKE the main character...and he's not a skeevy perv. He remains dedicated and devoted to his girl of choice for the duration of the series. In fact, from the very beginning I knew he was different than other harem heroes.....BECAUSE HE WASN'T A HELPLESS DWEEBY LOSER!!! He was just a regular college kid doing regular college kid things trying not to get involved with his rich family who he upped and left, when he stopped to help this girl in the train station who seemed lost. And then he ended up with a childhood friend fiancee. And he actually liked her. And he was nice to her. And respectful. And he continues to be nice and respectful and loving to her.....even though all sorts of girls try to get him in all sorts of situations. It's great...because no matter what he does, Aoi (his fiancee) trusts that he's doing what he says he is and that he has no bad intentions.....AND IT'S TRUE!!! Thank the anime gods for Kaoru Hanabishi.
