The Video Girl Ai anime is a six part OVA series which was produced by I.G. Tatsunoko.
Video Girl Ai was followed in 1993 with another sci-fi/romantic comedy manga DNA² and by the straight romantic comedy I"s in 1997.
Video girls are generally supposed to be comforting, nubile, excellent cooks, and socially graceful, but the malfunction of Yota's VCR has made her tomboyish, at times rude, prone to violence, a terrible cook, but full of heart and able to feel human emotion.

From a magical video store High School pupil Youta Moteuchi picks out a video girl of his choice to help him get over the fact that Moemi, the girl he likes, in fact is in love with his best friend.
AI emerges from this tape, but because Yota's VCR is faulty, AI is not the perfect and innocent girl on the tape, but rather an energetic tomboy, whose breasts have also mysteriously shrunk.
While AI is very cute and lovable, the execution of the story disappointed me. While there are several good scenes, most of the time the script, directing and editing are strictly average.

Because Ai was played on a damaged deck, she undergoes a complete physical and psychological change.

However, Ai was supposed to be a little more feminine and supporting of Yôta, but the effect of being played on a damaged VCR changed her.
Ai was more of a tomboy as a result, but she was no less supportive.
A video girl like Ai would live as long as the tape in the machine continues playing, so she sealed the VCR opening with tape just in case.

 Video Girl Ai Review
Nishikubo stated during the interview that the video ending was a collaborate effort and was intentionally left vague with the idea that each viewer would make his or her own interpretation.
Just know that the video ending, since it tells just a small part of the entire story, is very different from the manga ending.

This series began rather simply; after realizing the girl he's fallen for is in love with his best friend, Moteuchi "Dateless" Yota hides his feelings from Moemi (the girl) and decides to help her try to win the hand of Takashi (his friend).
In the third volume of the manga series, Ai's cruel Creator recalls her because she is not able to perform her duties, and Yota demonstrates his feelings for her by doing everything in his power to try and wrest her from her owner's grasp.
In Video Girl Ai, Yota is an incredibly nice guy torn between three women (or two women and a video girl), and he doesn't come off as a lecher at all.

On his way home, Youta, feeling very lonely, stops at a strange video stores and rents a tape called "Video Girl Ai." He plays the tape and a lovely young girl tells him that it will be alright, she will be with him as long as he needs her.
She develops an attachment no video girl has ever gotten and learns all to well the pain of unrequited love.
Ai is a bit more interesting, mostly because it is hard to come up with a "typical" girl who come out of the television to give you relationship advice.

The irrepressible Ai turns up at Yota's school to scout out the situation between him and Moemi, and he has to think fast to explain her to his incredulous peers, who at first think he's finally found a date.
As Ai's allotted month with Yota begins to draw to a close, she makes a desperate effort to keep him in good spirits despite the fact that she's utterly miserable at the thought of no longer being around him.
Ai's cold-hearted creator, having decided that she broke her programming by falling in love with Yota (when the purpose of a video girl is merely to 'comfort' men), is planning on erasing her.

 : RevolutionSF - Video Girl Ai : Review
For those of you unfamiliar with the often f[il]ked-up nature of Japanese pop culture, a video girl is just a tape of a sweet young girl, speaking comforting feminine words through the TV screen, so young, lonely, socially-inept Japanese males can at least pretend that a cute girl is talking to them.
This particular video girl is special, though (as if you couldn't tell by the title): when Yota pops the tape in his VCR, the girl on screen actually comes through his TV and into his room in a burst of light.
Video girls aren't supposed to fall in love, and when Ai's angry creator returns to take the "tainted" video girl away, Yota has to decide if he loves her, too...

We knew AI was his choice when he stepped into the TV to get her back, and it seemed to me like a step back that he had to go through with choosing AI over the fake Moemi.
Reaffirming that it was AI that he wanted once would have been plenty rather than jumping though all the hoops of the entire episode just to end up saying the same thing with each scene.
I felt that Ai was taking a darker turn as she started shorting out and fainting, and so I felt a little more comfortable going into the serious subject matter.

But since the VCR was broken, Ai changes from the "comforter" she was designed to be into a tomboy.
Thus being judged "defective," Ai is to be "recalled" by those who created her-- even well before her 'month-long rental' period has expired --which culminates into the emotionally charged tragic climax which unlocks the floodgates of every functioning tear duct.
Moemi is a pretty nice girl, and she braves the episode through, although still nursing a crush for Takashi.

 The Anime Critic - Video Girl Ai Review
Video Girl Ai The romantic-triangle (or pentagram, tetrahedron, whatever) is a pretty typical plot device in anime dealing with relationships and Video Girl Ai is no exception.
It seems that Yota's VCR malfunctions slightly causing some changes to both Ai's personality and her *cough* chest (it shrinks, must to Ai's chagrin).
She fulfills her duty as a "video girl" and tries to cheer Yota up (basically by being his friend), but is also prone to fits of rage (knocking Yota senseless with various kitchen ware, for example).

 THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Video Girl Ai
Ai's attempts to comfort Youta, while trying to aid him in his quest to still win Moemi lead to both touching moments of romance and wild bits of slightly ecchi comedy, as the lives of the four main characters begin to intertwine in ways they could never imagine.
Amano Ai is the Video Girl in question - uncharacteristically bull-headed and aggressive (she claims because of Youta's defective VCR), she sometimes bullies Youta into doing things to try to win back Moemi from his best friend, who isn't even interested in her in the first place!
Video Girl Ai is a romantic story that will, in the end, capture your heart.

 YouTube - Video Girl Ai: The Fall
Youta fights to reclaim Ai on a battlefield of Himself; facing his own uncertainties materialized as doppelgangers of his friend Takashi and his former crush Moemi, ravines of doubt and remorse, and a fragile, cruel, shattering staircase of unrequited love.
I did several subtle digital effects, for instance the peeling away of layers when the VCR is in the foreground and Ai and Youta are in the background (first the background is replaced by the panning-down shot of the school building, then the VCR vanishes, and finally the VCR's digital counter vanishes, each in turn).
I feel the most powerful moments in the video are the section where Ai is floating in the bedroom then ensnared by the videotape, and the entire ending, from the moment Youta falls to the ground and finds Ai on the crucifix.
