Aoi Hana – Anime Review
Review: Just when Fumi-chan is about to enter high school, her family returns to her old hometown where they lived years ago. Despite her tall figure she is unexpectedly shy and gets teary eyes a lot. Luckily she gets help from Akira-chan, her old childhood friend. They now both visit different girls academies but still spend a lot time together. However what will Akira think of her when she finds out Fumi-chan is dating a girl from her new school.
Aoi Hana is your typical Shoujo-ai school anime; a genre much too rare these days. The story focuses more on relationships and love than on comedy. It doesn’t pick up that many clichés, but rather offers a semi-realistic view on the happiness and problems of female homosexual couples in contemporary Japan.

I loved this anime series, seriously hoping for a second series. Though I pretty much doubt it. =(
It’s a must watch for all yuri fans. =D

Indeed. It’s sad that the anime producer already publicly confirmed that there will be no second season. It is due to poor DVD sales despite of this high quality anime. Even more sad it is that this on the other hand confirms the trend that fast paced comedy-moe mainspream anime seem to be getting the upper hand, while melancholic slow paced and well thought out stories only reach a small fanbase.
Gladly there’s still the manga.

I so agree. =( Ever since I watched this, I completely love watching yuri/shoujo-ai animes. Hopefully the manga won’t finish soon.
