Title: Yuzu is 5 years old!
Fansubbed by: a f k

This is Kippei Katakura. He is a skanky high-school student.

This is Yuzuyu Miyako. She is a lonely 5-year-old orphan.

This is Kippei's sister. She orders Kippei to take care of Yuzuyu.

The End.

RATING: C

Aishiteruze Baby is adorable. It just is -- whether you look at the animation, the music, or the characters themselves, this series just *reeks* of cuteness.

While this is well and good, the underlying concept is rather stale -- after all, AshiBaby contains the same 'boy-turns-good' premise of "Midori No Hibi", but lacks the creativity, cool fight scenes and fanservice of its counterpart.

Although I'll definitely agree with Sugar and Reika in that this series is both relaxing and a classic archetype of shojou anime, I'd prefer something with a less predictable plot. If Yuzuyu could do ninjitsu (or if Kippei could use alchemy), I'd probably keep watching, but, as it stands, I think I'm going to pass.
