Irishchatter Really 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!
Zhana Trifonova 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.
LegolasLover2003Ashley Ayashi 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.
Auryn-4 An old legend tells of how a fisherman stole the wings of an angel, so that she could not return to heaven. Instead she stayed on the earth became the fisherman's wife. Ayashi no Ceres is based upon this legend. The souls of the angel (or tennyo "heavenly maid") and the fisherman have been reborn in the bodies of the twins Aya and Aki. Aya carries the Tennyo named Ceres, who seeks her wings so that she can return to heaven, and Aki carries the evil soul of the fisherman, who stole Ceres' wings and forced her to become his wife. Aya flees from the people who wish to kill her and Ceres, and she flees from her brother Aki, who now carries a darkness inside him. She meets Touya, a mysterious amnesia-stuck hitman sent to observe her, and slowly they fall in love.I got lost in the plot a couple of times, since the anime covers a very large manga series in relatively few eps, but it was still a wonderful show with movie quality animation. As could be expected coming from the crew behind Fushigi Yuugi, there was a lot of romance, but it seemed more true and more beautiful than anything shown in Fushigi Yuugi, mainly because the heroine, Aya, is much more sympathetic than that annyoing brat Miaka with the ugly Princess Leia-style hairdo. We get to follow Aya from the first attempt on her life, through a great adventure of love, sadness, laughter, tears, life and death. There is a love triangle, very skillfully handled, and many subplots that brings a great depth.This show is NOT for children! It is very realistic in its style, and includes some really nasty scenes where people get hurt in very cruel ways. It's also confusing, as it tries to tell a very long story with very few episodes, but overall it's beautiful and amazing with an almost surreal fairy-tale color.Highly recommended!
