While I was on the look out for some old anime I came across Video Girl Ai. When I checked out the tags and genre I was pretty sure it's gonna be an old RomCom with nothing special. Well I couldn't have been more wrong. It were one of the wildest 6 episodes I have watched.

Story: 8/10
The story starts of as a basic love triangle but with a unique and creative touch. But ends in an impactful and meaningful way.
The story starts with our protagonist Youta being depressed after his crush tells him that she loves someone else. He decides to visit a Video Rental Shop there he stumbles upon a VCR Tape called "Video Girl Ai".
Not sure what to await he takes the tape home and puts it into his VCR Player. Suddenly a beautiful girl stands in the middle of his room. There is just one catch. Ai is a nice girl that every adolescent guy dreams of she's well mannered, a great cook and is always there to comfort you whenever your down and listens to your problems but a malfunction in Youta's VCR player cause Ai to become the sole opposite of what she's supposed to be. She becomes Tomboyish, full of energy, an terrible cook and even becomes a bit naughty. That's where the fun begins. The anime consists of only 6 episodes but the development of the story in those 6 episodes is more then impressive.

Characters: 9/10
The Characters are all well written for such an short anime. They all harmonize well together even tho they are so different.
The four main characters are pretty much the opposites of each other like for example we have Youta a shy and clumsy looser, Takashi a tall, dark, handsome and popular guy, Ai-chan an energetic, tomboyish and naughty girl and Moemi-chan a timid and shy girl. Yet they all harmonize well together. You could say you don't get anything to know about their backstory but for an 6 episode anime you can't really complain. The development of the characters is very very impressive in just 6 episodes Youta transformed from Dateless looser to an Adult that solved his dilemma of true love by himself.

Art: 9/10
The Art is absolute eye candy. The nice old 90's art style really gives the anime a really nice vibe and makes it really pleasant to watch. The surroundings were maybe not the most detailed but the protagonists and some supporting characters are drawn and designed neatly.

Music: 8/10
The opening was pretty chill it wasn't my taste of music necessarily but it was listenable and relaxing. Same goes for the ending it wasn't necessarily my taste in music but it was also listenable and calming. The soundtrack was fitting to the situations which made it more immersive. The SFX were pretty nice too for the beginning of 90's which also fitted the situation and humor of the anime.

Conclusion:
Video Girl Ai is an enjoyable anime that makes something unique out something basic.
The length of the anime makes it very easy to watch whenever you want to watch it. The story and character development is simply great for such a short anime. Believe me this anime has something for pretty much everyone. You wanna laugh at funny and quirky scenes no problem. You wanna watch something about genuine love and it's meaning this anime has that to offer too. You wanna see some spice if you know what I mean then this anime even got that. It really has something for everyone. The chill vibes make the anime really nice to watch and to get into the anime while not getting overwhelmed by it's fast but good development. The art makes it even better to watch. It simply is eye candy
