Aya Mikage and her twin brother Aki are soon driven apart by the forces of fate… On their sixteenth birthday, Aya and Aki are called to the family home to be given a special present. What they thought was a birthday party, however, was really a test—one which Aya failed. She was found to possess the reincarnated spirit of an ageless celestial maiden (tennyo), one bent on the recovery of her heavenly raiment (hagoromo) and the destruction of the Mikage family. Aya quickly finds herself separated from her beloved brother, and hunted by her own family.

leahmargaritadivina Actually i never imagined it as a legend, for me it's just a love story. That can actually touch you or make you feel love or this anime can also be the same as what is happening in your life. For some reason i become addicted to mangga's because of this anime... From the very first time i opened the first page i knew there's something different in it the lines, the words, the features, and specially those who are in the drawings of Yuu Watase. Like his previous story which i also love "Fushigi yuugi"... For instance the chapter 40 above you will see how aya strongly loves toya... Evey single changes... she still doesn't care she still fights for what she believeI'm not really fond of anything under the net but those who say Yuu Watase's work of art through literature or in form of art... let's argue i'm just a mere 3rd year but i'm ready to argue with some of those people who dares... K!!Don't even think about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raspberryperi17 I absolutely adored this movie. The graphics are beautiful and contain true emotion, even as you watch. The storyline, although extensive, has enough curves and turns to remain entertaining. After reading the manga, i found the animation on T.V to be thrilling and enriching. Ayashi no Ceres is most definitely a great watch, especially after reading the series. Even though there are several violent moments that quite gory and disgusting, the drama just adds to the plot and you find yourself intertwined with the characters. Even friends of mine who despise Japanese Animation have loved Ayashi No Ceres, it is addicting and thrilling, while maintaining a youthful and light feeling.
lia00027 Well the story is about an angel who go down to the earth, and there is a man whom see her taking a bath. Then the man take something from her, he will return it if the angel agree to marry with him. The story is always heard when we were children, but this is not that simple. Because the angel hates her husband whom she gave her power and kill their older son. The angel became angry and take revenge with kill her husband. Until now they always reborn and reborn,when they reborn they killing each other even they love each other too. LOVE BECOME HATE!But to bad the main woman character in here (name : Aya), is simply cry. I don't like if the woman character who always cry that's mean that she is WEAK. There is a man named Touya, he is Aya's lover whom handsome and cool. All the character is had many difficult thought and they try to do something to protect someone they loved, and for they wishes for long time. Different from the comic, in the anime the story is more serious and there is just a little sense of humor. I almost forget that the man character is almost ike Keigo in "kamisama mou sukoshi dake".THIS ANIME IS BETTER THAN FUSHIGI YUGI, which Watase Yuu created with many scene main woman character naked and she is so easy with any of man.
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!
