About I''s

I''s (フロム I"s アイズ 〜もうひとつの夏の物語〜) blends drama and romance by Studio Pierrot (2002). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Aiming to become a molding artist, Itsuki, a childhood friend of Ichitaka who went to America come back to Japan. Iori who refused the idol path and started to pursue her ambition to become an actress instead.

Another thread: Ichitaka, wandering on his bicycle alone, tries to decide his choice between the two persons.

As a drama title, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Iori Yoshizuki (Kumi Sakuma) and Ichitaka Seto (Takahiro Sakurai) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. At 2 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Studio Pierrot, so the studio's house style defines how I''s looks and moves on screen. The drama focus matters here: character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Its 5.5/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Kumi Sakuma as Iori Yoshizuki, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2002, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
