Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Studio Pierrot, so the studio's house style defines how I''s looks and moves on screen. Within the drama category, 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. It aired in 2002, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
