Description
A tale of eternal love, cosmic retribution, and celestial maidens with sublime supernatural powers. An ancient legend has devastating and unfathomable consequences on 16-year-old Aya Mikage. Her world turned upside down, Aya sets out on a journey to discover the truth about herself and the disturbing history of her family line. From the creator of Fushigi Yûgi, Yû Watase brings you the last 12 episodes to conclude a tale about eternal love, cosmic retribution, and celestial maidens with sublime supernatural powers. High-tech super science is combined with an ancient legend about a powerful celestial maiden—what results is a nefarious plan by Mikage International to create a new world order. Ceres, a powerful celestial maiden, is out to stop them by any means necessary while 16-year-old Aya Mikage is caught in the middle and just wants her old life back. But it may already be too late for that...

Awesome. May 19, 2004

Okay, let's just start out with this. Yu Watase is my absolute favorite Manga writer of all time. She has a box but her stories are always too big to fit inside. Ceres Celestial Legend (or Ayashi no Ceres) is an incredible and creative series. When I got this, I had already read the first half of the manga. It starts on the episode: The Holy Relic of the Mikages. Wonderful episode. The discs have 12 episodes which may make it seem like a rip-off, at between 45 and 50 dollars. But believe me, it's worth it. The series has two big downfalls. The english dubs, and the blood. I got a little tired of red. I definitely recommend watching the series in Japanese. They just take away so much of the emotion in the english version. Blood is in nearly every episode, especially towards the end. The story cancels out the blood though, so does the animation. Yet again, the art is beautiful. (*tear* I wish I could draw like that!) The story is about Aya Mikage who happens to be the reincarnation of a revenge bent celestial maiden (Ceres). Her story unfolds in the first six manga (I dunno about the first 12 eps.). There is NO similarity between it and Sailor Moon! Be warned. The manga is a bit different. The anime starts in volume 5 and to all appearances, skips six. They might've covered it in the first one, I don't know. But this is a must at least read for any Yu Watase fan! I definitely would recommend this to anyone who likes celestial maidens, reincarnation, hot guys, um... blood (you don't have to like it, but it would probably make the series flawless.), and beautiful animation and plots.

IF you are a fan of Yu Watase...then you will love Ceres Celestial Legend!! The ending is not what you would expect. Ceres is still looking for her Mana so she can return to heaven...and the other charaters just grow on you. Yuhi still loves Aya and Aya still loves Toya and he finally finds out his past!! If you bought the collector's edition volume 1...then don't wait to buy the 2nd edition!!! You will definately Cry!!

OMG. i saw this and it totally blew me away. first off, nearly everybody dies!! When chidori died, i cried so much!! its just...the way she died was so sad. she dies right there in Yuhi's arms..*sniff* this second half of the series was way darker than the first. well, the whole series is pretty dark anyways. i was also kinda sad that shuro only had a short apperiance. the manga had shuro as a way more improtant character. they killed off her character too. it was also sad that well.... i wouldnt want to give away the ending, but ill just tell you that there is lots of blood!! to much killing on the second disk in this package. but its still really good, so go get it and see what i mean!!
