I didnt really know what I was bringing myself into but boy was I both suprised and shocked: however not in the way youd expect. I knew instantly after watching this OVA that i absolutely needed to write a review to let everyone know about this masterpiece. Story 10/10 I. LOVE. IT. The story is extraordinarily excecuted I might even say to perfection. Every single act has been so meticulously crafted to pull at your heart strings when needed so much so it feels like youre about to die. Like literally die. Everyone is memorable and leave a huge impact on both the audience and the plot. When that blue haired girl got blasted to the face and the green haired girl went oh no I. FELT. THAT. They kept her alive after the main character talk about that later has a significant development and kills like 1 person and then dies to save her. However after being brought to the hospital after their best efforts off screen the doctor stares in dismay at the girl with her fucking head blown off and says its too late for her. The irony that they saved the main character but couldnt save her really shakes you off your feet as you were previously thinking that theres no way shes going to be cut off so early in the show but think again bucko. There are even moments more shocking like when that big bad guy told innocent small boy that they are the true earthlings. The plot twisted harder than a fat man trying to take the cap off his seventh mt. dew bottle and on a completely and utterly inspirational kinda makes you think about life uno? Needless to say I was surprised that it wasnt one of Shinkais works Characters 10/10 Like I said the mecha suit guy is probably one of the most recognised characters and blue haired girl will always be my best girl but ngl my favourite was probably the big bad guy cause he wasnt even in the wrong. Mecha suit guy too much of a fucking pussy and green haired girl didnt do shit for her friends except call reinforcements when they were overwhelmed. The character development really struck a chord with me as I really relate to having to be forced to wear the special antiancient armor gear by my dad we havent been on good terms ever since and it really gives me a kick to see other people making the best of the very same situation. The other reviews dont really care to talk pick up about this but im surprised they didnt highlight the art of the dialogue. In order to not spoil to much but my favourites have got to be when the doctor said She aint making this one and the ship guy when they were burning up and he said were burning up. Artistic design and Animation 10/10 2005 this aired? Wow steins gate must be based on a true story because they sure did send this gift from the future Never seen more perfectly stitched frames and the characters idle actions sure do match with their on screen personas. Wait did you notice I said animation? Well if you are the same as me after spending hours watching countless reviews to fully unwrap the ending which I am still struggling to decode the ambigious meaning/s you couldnt find the characters real names so you could find their adresses and send them fan mail : well thats because still in the third stage of disbelief they were not actually real Its completely computer sketched. Amazing right Ah the wonders of the future. Each frame moves fluildy from one to next as if they were part of a continuum beyond the feeble physical realms of space and time. If you still cannot understand what I am hinting towards I shall say it clear: Im lead to believe God himself has literally drawn every single frame. Sound 10/10 Not much to say about this one as I was too distracted by the plot but nevertheless smooth tranisitions between songs and sound effects were like the real thing. Beethoven really did a number on this. Enjoyment factor 10/10 Need something to watch with friends? Watch this Need a good horror to scare you at wits end? Watch this Netflix and chill isnt working too well? Watch this Taking a massive shit and you think you wont be out for 19 minutes 35 seconds? Watch this Too many options to enjoy it and will always bring a smile to your face. Replayability really isnt a problem Summary It may be a motion picture animation japanese anime BUT I have NEVER seen something so perfect so endearing than this short OVA.
