Synopsis:

Would you remember a promise you made ten years ago? This central question of promises, of memories, and of love -- this is the question that plagues a group of friends in Japan: a young and very talented girl who is well on her way to becoming a superstar, an average guy with an eye for beauty, and a girl from their past. She has returned from a trip to the USA because she remembers a promise they all made ten years ago.. but ten years is a long time, and memories are easily forgotten. Who knows what could come from this reunion...

Both Storys are the cream of the crop of romance/drama. One guy and two girls - The guy is not able to choose one and keeps going out with both. Everything is about the way he has to go to reach a decision. There are ups and downs and LOTS of misunderstandings.

From I''s is a famously bad spin-off ova from the popular Katsura manga I''s, whereas Video Girl Ai is a pretty good, if incomplete, adaptation of his earlier work. The two most romance-focused series he's done, both were Shounen Jump hits, and should appeal to the same crowd. From I''s actually has a few interesting moments of animation, but manages to fail so completely at capture the spirit of the work that it's worth seeing just so you appreciate how much better Video Girl Ai works.

Video Girl AI would be right up your alley if you liked I"s OVA. If the animation style was to your liking in I"s it is exactly the same in Video Girl. They also share the same type of traditional romance that we all know and love. There are some differences such as plot and music, but the basic idea is the same. Video Girl AI should be a great short segue from I"s OVA.

One

One main image

One OVA is a fairly confusing, but beautiful look at the life of Orihara Kouhei, and promises that he has made in his childhood. In each of the 4 episodes, more of the mystery of Kouhei's past, and relationships with his fellow students is revealed. Much more cannot be said about the plot without giving major spoilers. Based upon a popular PC game.

Mysterious people and promises made long long ago... do you remember? Just like the the people in I's OVA the girls in this OVA starts remebering promises they made long long ago. They try to remember what the promis really was about and if they don't will the whole world disappear? This is truly a "look alike" to I's OVA so check it out!

One and I''s OVA both deal with memories from the past that are forgotten, and wanted to remember. One definitely is more beautiful and mysterious, while I''s is far more based in fanservice. But both are interesting.

St. Luminous definitely doesn't have the fanservice that I''s does, nor is it focused on relationships, but I still think you'd like it if you like I''s. A very compelling mystery with interesting relationships and an all around general great feel.

While a loose recommendation, part of Debut and I''s have a similar type of story line about memories from the past.

Mizuiro and I''s OVA both are well animated and mysterious OVAs about the past, and things we sometimes forget. While Mizuiro has a very comical tone, I''s OVA is rather serious and melancholy in nature. Regardless, if you like these types of shows, you certainly would like one if you liked the other.
