Customer Reviews of Ceres, Celestial Legend - Destiny (Vol.1)
Buy the whole series! Plot: Average teenager Aya Mikage finds out on her 16th birthday that her family wants to kill her because she's the reincarnation of the family's ancestor, a Celestial maiden, Ceres. Ceres wants to destroy the Mikage, so the Mikage want to destroy Ceres (who is sharing a body with Aya) first. Ceres especially wants to kill Aya's twin brother Aki. This results in a lot of trouble and heartache, then add Aya falling in love with Toya (who works for the Mikage) and Yuuhi (who's sister helps Aya) falling in love with Aya.....
My thoughts: Very different from Fushigi Yugi, Yu Watase's other popular work, which is funny and for the most part light hearted. Ceres is somewhat dark and it's dramatic. My mini-plot doesn't really do it justice, there's a lot that goes on in Ceres, I had to know what happens next and couldn't stop watching it (I have an imported boxed set). If only Yuuhi were real, I'd marry him in a second! I recommend watching the dubbed first so it's easier to pay attention to plot and animation, and then watch the subbed to get a real feel for the emotion of the show. There is just something about the Japanese language that expresses emotion better than English. Toya's Japanese voice seems to fit him better, while Yuuhi's English voice seems to fit better. The music is very good, recycled a lot, but very good.
Not for kids, I would say at least 13 and up. There's some nudity, violence, blood, and adult situations/themes.
decent but not the best
Ayashi no Ceres or as known in the American version, Ceres, Celestial Legend, did not appeal to me personally. I fell in love with the first Yu Watase series I'd watched, Fushigi Yugi, and I had very high expections for AnC; perhaps too high.
The series, while somewhat interesting, just did not have the magic that Fushigi Yugi had. I found Aya to be one of the most irritating female protagonists I've ever seen in an anime series; as Ceres she was much better, but I could not get rid of my dislike for her character to enjoy this anime much.
Watch this series if you just want to be entertained for a while; if you want a beautiful series that's thought-provoking, tear-inducing and absolutely lovely to watch, I suggest you get Fushigi Yugi first. I guarantee you'll love it.
A Masterpiece!
I fell in love with this series as soon as I popped it in the dvd player!! The characters are beautifuly drawn, the story line is awesome! Romantic and tragic, this leaves you on the edge of your seat! Full of bishounen guys too! Who could ask for more!? There's some neat extra's on here, including a short interview with Yu Watase herself about how she feels about the support of her fans. There's also a nice character profile on here, along with a clip of Yu Watase drawing. You have the option of English or Japanese audio with subtitles. "Scarlet" the opening song, is sooooo gorgeous, I just wish that it had the translation on there since it has a text-less opening and ending, the only down side. But other than that this is a great title to get, full of action, romance, and just an awesome series! The story starts out with Aya (girl)and Aki (boy), 2 normal twins who are about to turn 16. But on the day of their birthday they are summoned to their Grandfathers estate, along with the whole extended family!! They recieve a mysterious gift that determines their fate, and turns Aya's family against her! Can she find out the truth before her family kills her? Could she really be the descendent of an angel? You won't want to miss this series, I guarantee it will quickly become one of your favorites!
