KIRARA English Sub & Dub

About KIRARA

KIRARA arrives as a comedy anime by Ashi Productions (2000), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: Twenty-four-year-old Kirara is on her way to her wedding when she is killed in a car accident. However her love for her fiance is so capable that she is permitted to return to earth as a ghost to see him.

As things develop, she is sent back 8 years in time, to when she and her fiancé first met. However her own meddling in the past may make her 16 year-old-self turn away from her would-be fiance.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Kirara Asai (Kotono Mitsuishi) and Kirara Imai (Chiaki Oosawa) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Ashi Productions, which means the visual identity of KIRARA follows that studio's craft. Within the comedy category, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 5.7/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Kotono Mitsuishi as Kirara Asai, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2000, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
