Thi anime seems very similar to other anime like Love Hina, Happy Lesson etc. etc. (I wonder why most romance anime only have one main male character) The main characters are Kaoru Hanabishi (guy) and Aoi Sakuraba (lady with blue hair) I thought it was going to have a more interesting aspect to it with the idea of Kaoru's (the male) past where he belonged to a highly respected family (I don't think it was by blood) and was arranged to marry Aoi but ran away since his parents died and he hated them, however I ended up dissapointed. Anyone watched it?

*sigh* There always seems to be more emphasis on the female characters more even though the purpose of having them there is questionable... Having few minor characters that don't really do anything are ok, but going overboard is quite odd for me- then again it's a key characteristic for these types of anime

Yeah, the girls seem to be more important in any of these kind of shows.. It almost feels like the guys are only there to be there, such as Keiichi in AMG. It's not necessarily a bad thing ^_^ It could still be enjoyable. I hope I'll watch it someday after my HSC..

I don't think I've seen any anime that's close to having a lot of guys and 1 female (no idea how it works though) A bunch of girls all going over 1 man is seems ok to them but a whole lot of guys going for 1 girl makes them sound... weird... I guess, this is the only explanation I can think of.

Actually... I think I've seen some where there's only one girl... but that falls into the drama category as opposed to comedy.
But yeah, guy sees other guy with girl. Instant DEFEAT! Game over go home and try a different tactic later. Girls don't seem to give up so easily. ((IMHO))

It sounds a bit silly of me..but I want to ask..what is this anime about? Or does it not have much of a storyline except relationships? I don't think I've seen any anime that's close to having a lot of guys and 1 female (no idea how it works though) A bunch of girls all going over 1 man is seems ok to them but a whole lot of guys going for 1 girl makes them sound... weird... I guess, this is the only explanation I can think of. Fruits Basket! -nods-

well if u want anime with one girl and a group of guys there's an anime called "Tenshi na Konamaiki" it's pretty funny bout a boy who gets turned into a girl... u can probably guess wat happens after that anyway should talk to much bout other anime this is meant to b about Ai Yori Aoshi after all

( can't believe I forgot about fruits basket ) well there really isn't all that much story, more of the two main characters trying to stay together, but there is a family history that goes against this. (although there's not much about it. I'll exlain the history in more detail later)

Ai Yori Aoshi is you typical harem show, pretty b-grade all predicatable cookie cutter characters, plenty of fanservice. The only thing I found slightly different was that the main guy was a genuine nice guy that girls would actually be attracted to, and the main chic has really cool hair.
Apart from that it's not really worth your time. Love Hina is better for what the anime is more funny and random dispite it not doing any justice to the manga.
