Set in a dystopian future where the mostly male society on the planet Amoi lives under the authoritarian control of a supercomputer named Jupiter. Since social class is determined by the color of one's hair, Iason sits at the top of the pecking order as a 'blondie'. He is given a lot of latitude in his daily life but draws unwanted attention when he chooses to take on a 'mongrel' gang leader named Riki The Dark as a 'pet.' There are no taboos against those in the lighter-hair classes staking claim to lower class dark- haired citizens but the intensity of their relationship begins to draw dangerous attention. As emotions and tensions deepen, will Iason and Riki escape the fateful consequences of their forbidden romance and for violating the strict caste system? I was quite taken aback at how good the story was… at its core this is one of the best love stories I've ever seen. --myanimelist.net The story and world are fleshed out and complex, even down to very small details of architectural and prop design... --anime new network Ai no Kusabi is a haunting tale of twisted love in a world where one s status in society is based on the color of their hair. --honeysanime.com Review: Awesome - but only contains half the series. - This is a 2012 remake of the Ai No Kusabi original series from 1992 to 1994 (I believe were the exact years but it was the '90s). The original series had more content than this remake does because after filming the first 4 OVAs in the remake (which is the entirety of what this product you're considering buying contains), the series remake was discontinued (it's speculated for financial reasons but who knows). Because of that, the major, emotional ending and the entire ending arc that are crucial to the series (and are an ENORMOUS part of what make it such a beautiful story) are not included in this which breaks my heart. While this made the remake MUCH less enjoyable for me, it's still a good series for the content that is included. It only shows the first half of the original story, but I like the graphics much better than those of the original version, it is English Dub which is awesome and the voices are decent (not my favorite, but still good I guess). It's still a beautiful and intriguing story (I won't share spoilers for those who haven't seen this in a long time or who are first time watchers). I also, strangely enough, LOVE the opening song music for the series, and the promotional video under the features section of the disc is compelling and beautiful all on its own (it shows scenes from throughout the 4 OVAs). Review: Beautiful plot, questionable execution - This is my nostalgia. The CD is incredible. I used it to watch with my friends for my birthday and we did a whole drinking game around it. The plot is as good as it always is and the English dub just makes it even funnier. It makes me cry that we missed out on all the potential that could’ve had if it was given 13 episodes, but I will take what I can get as it is a vintage lol

Only buy if you've got a ps5 or blu ray equivalent reader
I watched this anime waaaay back in the day online, and I'm so glad to finally have such a clean copy of mine own, with English dub as an option too! The problem though, was that it's a bit difficult to get to work. Just like previous reviews, it doesn't nit play properly on the ps4. Managed to get it to play once to the menu, but it kept skipping and pausing and couldn't do a thing with it. If you're lucky enough to have a ps5 though, it works like a dream and is gorgeous. The English va is quite nice, though it is VERY odd to hear my darling Allen Walker from D.Gray-man being a sadistic blonde lmao Seriously, you have a ps5 or something equivalent, I say buy it, you won't regret it!

Society and Control
I really enjoyed the movie but hated how it was broken into sections and placed out of sequence for the viewer to figure out. The story line was very interesting for a futuristic society of the rich and the very poor. What bothered me the most was that machines had evolved with a very horrifying intelligence and control over humans. But I really enjoyed it.

Perfecto
Ha llegado en perfecto estado. Es el re-release de la versión de 2012 con doblaje en inglés más la versión original en japonés (y la opción de subtítulos en inglés). Se compone de 4 OVAs que cuentan parte de la historia original con mucha fidelidad. Muy recomendado.

I have loved this anime for years
I have loved this anime for years! So when the product popped up on my feed with the English dub addition, it was an immediate purchase! The Japanese version is as beautiful and amazing as usual. And the English version...was WONDERFUL! The voice acting was done beautifully (which is always something I worry about) and I am so glad I can watch both versions now. My only complaint is I did purchase the Blu-Ray addition, but received the standard DVD version. Not a major deal because the graphics are gorgeous. Really hope part two will be coming out soon!

you will be able to find something you enjoy here.
It pains me that they never finished this. The character designs, the backgrounds, the music and use of CGI are all incredibly well-done. So is voice work in both the original and the english dub. I can't seem to stop rewatching it. Even if you don't care for yaoi or the incredibly dark tone and themes, you will be able to find something you enjoy here.

The anime is ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFUL one of the best looking I've ever watched!
So obviously this is some hardcore stuff, but it has a very well thought out semi dystopian future world where sexual slavery is an industry involving advanced genetics. it not only legal but accepted on all levels of society, especially the ruling blondies. the characters are incredibly well created, the eng dub is EXQUISITE. I REALLY want more of this story not just because of the sensual characters but because I want to learn more about the actual world and how it works! not enough good to be said.

再生は
私はPS4で再生しましたが、なんの問題もなく見れました。 作品自体の内容はちょっと物足りない感じはありましたが満足です。

BL作品だけどSF要素が見所たっぷり
タイトル『間の楔 The Space Between(OVA2期-2012年リメイク版-)』ディスク1枚/4話/1080pHD 一般的な国内プレイヤーで再生出来ます(再生環境/SONYの2015年~の最廉価プレイヤー『BDP-S1500』)。 JAPANESE2.0と字幕《OFF》を選択すれば、後は普通に鑑賞する事が出来ます。それでもなお作品内字幕に英字幕が出てしまった場合は、リモコンで字幕《切》を選択すればオッケーです。 映像特典は、ノンテロップOP&ED・プロモビデオです。 BL作品とは言え、ガッツリ硬派なSF要素の上に物語が成り立っているので、男が絡むシーンをそういった習慣がはびこる世界と割りきれるならば、男性でも楽しめるでしょう。 ただ、本来13話作る筈だったのが、4話作った時点で打ち切りになっているので、本作品は第一部完でオシマイです。 う~ん、続きが気になる…なので☆を1つ減点しました。

続きが欲しかったです。
これを見て原作に興味を持ち、キャラ文庫版を全巻読んでから改めて視聴しました。原作を読む前は分からない所がチラホラあって「うーん…」となってましたが、全てが分かっているからこそ色々繋がって「奥が深いなぁ」と感心しました。 キャラはイアソンとカッツェがかっこ良くてシビれました。 ただ、ラストスモーキングまで見ることが叶わず非常に残念です。ブロンディー達の正装で13人ズラリと並んでいるシーンも見たかった… 前のアニメは作画が古く、キャラ文庫版原作とは色々違うため受け付けなかったので。
