Ayashi no Ceres Series
Tagged under Yuu Watase, Studio Pierrot, Series.
Aya Mikage's world is turned upside down on her sixteenth birthday, as her family turns to kill her. The Mikages are
wealthy, intelligent and elite humans, due to the introduction of Tennyo (Heavenly Fairy) blood into the family. She
discovers that her Tennyo ancestor (Ceres) was not only living in their hearts and souls throughout the ages; in fact,
her very ancestor is living inside her, to destroy the Mikage family, and to find her feathered robe (hagoromo) in order
to fly back up into the heavens.
As Aya loses her family connections and distances herself from her twin
Aki and other Mikages to prevent Ceres from taking lives, she meets a mysterious man named Tooya, who seems to possess
superhuman attributes. Who is he? Will Ceres return? What is inside Aki?
From the creator of Fushigi
Yuugi, Ayashi no Ceres is an anime about tormented love, family, and hate. It bears a significant message for all
viewers, about life, death and the implications behind actions and decisions made for the future.

Rated:
Ayashi no Ceres is seriously heavy stuff. There are bits where there is light humour to kill the tension, but that is seen very rarely throughout the anime, and it is an anime to be taken quite seriously.
Ayashi no Ceres originated from the fairytale of the tennyo... so there is no surprise that there was actually a catalyst for the foundation of this anime.
With all the characters, they all have a kind of inner flaw- Ceres who is blinded by hate, Aya who is unable to cope with facing the truth that she is a tennyo and the break up of her family, Touya being unable to communicate feelings, Yuuhi who is rash and jumping to conclusions, and Aki being too innocent.

Best Anime ever!!!! I just love it ^_^
It's a very emotional Anime, especially Ceres' story is sooooo sad ;_; I really love the whole story and how it
develops, and although there are some episodes that are rather dull to me, it never gets boring to watch this Anime
again and again :D My favourite character certainly is Ceres, and she still is one of my all-time-favourite characters!
She's just so cool and yet went through much pain.
I think it was one of the first anime i really owned completly. In my opinion, Ayashi no Ceres is better than Fushigi Yugi... less romantic, maybe. There's more suffering and cruelty (not a lot).
However, the drwaing is not as good as it is in Fushigi Yugi. The story is shorter and there're no OVAs.
The plot is very good. In fact. i realy like japanese myths and this anime is about one of them; about a godess whose shawl is stolen. She must stay in the earth till she finds the shawl. Cause she's not able to find it, the godess is reborn in every generation of her family in order to bring her shawl back.
Of course, the anime is more complicated than the legend but i will not make any spoiler here ^^, you'll have to see the anime if you want to know what happens.

I watched this anime because I loved the manga. This is a decent adaptation, except that they cut out my favorite character Shuro! Her role in the series is relegated to like a 5 minute chunk towards the end of the series. Granted they had to cut a lot of stuff out in order to fit the anime series into one season, but I feel that in doing so a lot of what made me love the manga was lost.
bleachsenafan rated 8.00:Wow! Ayashi No Ceres has to be the best anime of Yuu Watase. It is darker than Fushigi Yuugi so I've heard and read on reviews. The characters are just amazing, the plot is epic and the story will keep surprising you as it goes. The art and animation is beautiful, I love Yuu Watase's style of art - I'm pretty sure its those eyes. That's how you can tell of the difference in many of the artists' styles - the eyes of course. The ending is tragic and happy at the same time, you'll love it.
