Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Overall, as Good as the First
Review: Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi is a very well-written love story, continued from the first season. Although some of the translations are a bit literal, the story is very well-written (I would suggest watching it with Japanese audio and English subtitles). Overall, a very good Anime for the die-hard Anime fan. There are quite a few sexual innuendos, but what would be the fun without them?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love it!
Review: Ai Yori Aoshi is a great anime.
Ai Yori Aoshi ~ Enishi is a great sequel to that anime...

...but....

If you're looking for closure to the main storyline, you'll have to join me in hoping for a third series.

The storyline for Enishi is pretty good, mostly following Tina (though too much time is spent wasted on Chika at the begining) and it's a bit sad, but very good. Enishi is far more delves far more seriously into relationships than the original series.

The ending, while not offering complete resolution, is still pretty good.

I hope there'll be a third series:)

BTW, Tina Foster is the #2 anime character ever! ~(2nd only to the one and only, Aoyama Motoko.)

Summary: I can't believe I watched the whole thing...
Review: Ai Yori Aoshi, or True Blue Love, is an absolute joke of a series, and I know because I've (sadly) seen all of it. Have you ever eaten something that was really disgusting, but you still couldn't stop eating it? That's what this series is like, except once you've watched Ai Yori Aoshi, you can't just regurgitate it: it will haunt you for the rest of your life.
I must say, the show's beginnings are not that bad. The first, say, three and a half episodes were quite enjoyable, but the show has no depth. Try this drinking game out, and see how long it takes you to get smashed: watch this show, and whenever Aoi says "Kaoru-sama" or whenever Kaoru says "Aoi-chan" take a shot: you'll be hammered by episode three.
The truth is, the characters of Aoi and Kaoru are completely one-dimensional. Aoi is completely defined by her undying love for her "Kaoru-sama": she her character has nothing else, and I mean NOTHING ELSE, going for her. Kaoru isn't much better. He's an unrealistically nice and innocent guy with a sob story past. The humor in this anime is largely stale and predictable, and becomes less prevalent as the series progresses and inevitably becomes sticky pink mush anime. There are a few haw-haw moments (Suzuki's infatuation with trains gave me a chuckle) but this show is barely worth watching once, let alone owning and watching multiple times. If you can, rent it, but I wouldn't buy it.
Then again, this sort of thing just ain't my style. Some people like to sit there and go "Aww, how cute," for hours on end while Aoi and Kaoru have their first date, then their first kiss, then their first bath together then their first blah blah blah. Those people, however, are without exception forty-seven year olds with ice cube lenses, male-pattern baldness, potbellies, pit stains, and skin disorders. If you are one of these people, you're sure to enjoy this series. But, if you kick ass, like me, stick with Love Hina, Excel Saga, FLCL, etc. The Almatty has spoken.

Summary: Hopefull!
Review: I absolutely adore the ai yori yoshi series with its sappy mushy storyline of two starcrossed fiances (kaoru&aoi)and a houseful of hopeful girls wanting to catch kaoru's eye. i personally have never seen the enshi series but from what i get from the review above i think it will be an awsome sequel to the great fanservicing series ai yori aoshi!

Summary: Enishi rocks! Aoi shines bright
Review: The 2nd season of Ai Yori Aoshi started out good! Actually, so good in fact that it gives you that feeling of reuniting all the fun you had with the first season. Aoi's ukeness is still there. Chika's cuteness is still there. Miyabi's nagginess is still there. Hell, even Tina's booze drinking is still there! ^o^

This 13 episode season has some of the cutest moments, and I love seeing Aoi and Kaoru share intimate moments. It shows how strong love can be, even in the modern world of angst. Though is it just me, or does Enishi have lots more fan service than before? Very Love Hina like, well sorta! Tina Foster is so freaking hilarious, and hearing her in the dub is a treat. Who doesn't love a hyper american fondling boobs *o* She's my idol! LOL

The dubbing isint that bad either! They perfected Aoi's submissive tone, Taeko's clumsy tone and Tina's southern USA tone convinced me. Though some of the secondary characters sounded whacked. Both Pioneer(Geneon) ADV Films, etc. never had a perfect cast of VAs, but rarely get close.

I truely recommend it to those who loved the original season <3 Though I don't recommend it to Love Hina fans, don't expect Kaoru to get knocked 1,000 feet in the air and still survive @o@ Anyway The opening "Takaramono" and closing "I do" are wonderful! Yoko Ishida's Takaramono is just as memorable as Towa no Hana.

I'm a legend in the Otaku world, and I recommend this anime! Whoever doesn't thinks so, well too bad! Cliches are cliches, and Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi lives up to it's 24 episode original.

Rating: 1 stars
