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. 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.
