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 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Media Blasters | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 103 Reviews | | Format | Anamorphic, Dolby, HiFi Sound, NTSC, Widescreen | | Genre | Drama | | Number Of Discs | 1 | | Runtime | 2 hours | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Drama - **Format:** Anamorphic, Dolby, HiFi Sound, NTSC, Widescreen - **Contributor:** Media Blasters - **Runtime:** 2 hours - **Number Of Discs:** 1 ## Images ![Ai No Kusabi: Space Between- Unchained Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91UqTSTpYLL.jpg) ![Ai No Kusabi: Space Between- Unchained Edition - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91VxoRScWAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome - but only contains half the series. *by N***E on November 16, 2023* 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 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 *by S***T on April 8, 2022* 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! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/61229880-ai-no-kusabi-space-between-unchained-edition](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/61229880-ai-no-kusabi-space-between-unchained-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
