About I''s

Looking for background on I''s (フロム I"s アイズ 〜もうひとつの夏の物語〜)? This drama and romance series by Studio Pierrot (2002) starts out like this. What the story covers: Aiming to become a molding artist, Itsuki, a childhood ally 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.

More of the story: 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. It will appeal most 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. Because it leans on drama, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. With a 5.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. 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.
