Anime Report: Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi: Bond


More sweet and fluffy tales, most ripped from the pages of the manga.

Mayu's got a pretty new dress, and to celebrate, she coaxes Kaoru into taking her on her first date. The problem is, she doesn't know what to do on a date, and she's not very good at the things Kaoru wants to do.

Then Kaoru's got to get his schoolwork done or his summer will be ruined, but he keeps getting pulled away from his books to play with the girls. Aoi has to step in and firmly, but sweetly, lay the hammer down.

A swim team episode with Chika and her friends is a toss away, but Tina gets a nice speech about looking for her place when she doesn't seem to fit anywhere.

And when Tina suggests a vacation, everyone takes off for a spa -- unfortunately, Taeko's driving! But she says the people at the video arcade think she's a very good driver.

Charming and relaxing, but I prefer it when the focus stays on the Aoi-Kaoru-Tina triangle.
