Ai Yori Aoshi

I was looking for another good Anime similar to Ah My Goddess, and hopefully I found a series that fits exactly what I like.  Ai Yori Aoshi, Its has a really good story, not to mention its a love story, with an good amount of comedy and drama, you’ll sure get into it deeply.

The main character named Kaoru Hanabishi. Who ran away from his his home, and is living alone in the Tokyo city. One day, while he’s about to go home, he met this beautiful girl from the train station who seems to be lost and wondering where to go.  And being a gentlemen, he helped her on her way, but soon found out that the place she’s looking for was already an empty lot. Not knowing what to do next, he invited the girl to his apartment and asked for additional clue. She opened a photo… Kaoru, after looking at the photo, he was surprized,he saw a boy and a girl, and told her that it was him at that photo. And the girl beside the boy was Aoi-chan (full name is Aoi Sakuraba), a childhood friend, and betrothed fiancee. Surprized Aoi-chan, jumped to Kauro, and she cried.

The story goes around him and his way to graduate along with his friends. Except for a towel covered body, there’s no nudity here. But there’s a fair amount lovey-dovey  and kissing scenes ;)

Description: Opening Song
Performed by Ishida Yoko

Awaku saita hana no kao
Nokoshi kisetsu wa sugimasu
Ame mo agari sora ni kumo
Aoi kaze ga soyoideru

The seasons move on, leaving
The scent of the flowers blooming pale
The rain has stopped too, clouds in the sky
Are blown gently by the blue breeze

Kyou ashita to futari ga
Aruku toki no katawara de
Kawarazu ni yureteiru
Omoide ga arimasu

Both today and tomorrow
Alongside the times we walk
Our trembling thoughts will be there
Unchanging

Eien wo eien wo
Saitemo karenai
Kono mune no tokimeki wa tsukinai
Dare yori mo dare yori mo
Anata wo mitsumete
Hateshinaku kono kimochi zutto

Forever Forever
It blooms but never dies
The pounding of my heart never ceases
More than anyone, More than anyone
I gaze at you
With this feeling that never ends

Ano hi futari de ata no wa
Sekai jyuu de ikudomeni
Okita kiseki nano desho wo
Dare ni kansha tsureba ii

That day, when we met
How many times in the world
has a miracle like this happened?
Whom shall I thank?

Aa anata no mirai ga
Kitto watashi ni wa ni aito
Sou ienai yoru mo aru
Nakisou ni naru kedo

Ah, I know your future
will be perfect for me
There will be nights when I can't say it
Although I may cry

Eien wo eien wo
Subite mo asenai
Kaze no naka sora no shita natsu no
Shinjitara shinjitara
Anata no e ga ora
Watashi no hanani naru kara kitto

Forever Forever
It may pass, but it will not fade
In the wind, under the sky, I wait
If I believe If I believe
Then your smile
Will surely become my flower

Eien wo eien wo
Saitemo karenai
Kono mune no tokimeki wa tsukinai
Dare yori mo dare yori mo
Anata wo mitsumete
Hateshinaku kono kimochi zutto

Forever Forever
It blooms but never dies
The pounding of my heart never ceases
More than anyone, More than anyone
I gaze at you
With this never ending feeling
