SynopsisIn the future, mankind can no longer live on the ground due to intense radiation, both from the sun and from an abandoned nuclear plant. One day, a group of special police raided a religious cult compound, and after a fierce firefight two policemen found a winged mutant girl, with chains on her arms, barely alive. However, government scientists dressed in hazardous material suits immediately intervened and brought her back to a research facility. Realizing they were merely transferring her from one prison to another, those two policemen formulated a daring plan to set her free once and for all.

Oct 20, 20081 of 1 episodes seen 5 of 10 people found this review helpful The numbers are as they stand, and I do not think that I am overrating at all. This is my true opinion of this OVA.
Short sweet and to the point. This is like a synopsis of a longer movie. The formalistic and seemingly abstract compilations of events lead the viewer to formulate and believe his or her own interpretation, which I found fascinating. From what I saw, I believed that the entire sequence is in chronological order. I would love to explain my belief in detail, but that w...ould become spoiler saturated. I like the underlying theme of the fear of technology and its effects on human progress in addition to the main "never give up".
Ghibli. What more can you expect? In those 6:30 minutes, the greatest effort was put in by Miyazaki to represent the song, "On Your Mark." The natural scenery was great. The contrast between the representation of the hazardous yet beautiful outer environment as opposed to the futuristic yet dirty inner environment was phenomenal. I like the purple and green contrast between the surrounding forest near and away from human civilization. I also like how they represent the seemingly unlinear yet really linear (in my opinion) story through subtle differences in the actions of each event.
There were no vocals aside from Chage and Aska's background music, "On Your Mark." That was all that was needed to represent the feelings of the two protagonists. Everything else is overrun by sound effects, stressed where necessary, and dim where the bgm takes over. The sound balance is perfect.
The protagonists were modeled after Chage and Aska. You can see from Aska's straightforward personality and Chage's comical figure, as well as the Chage mug and Aska's gifts. The girl, or angel as I see it (not in the religious sense of the term), is given the desperation of giving them one more chance, like the lyrics of the song. Their characters are clearly defined in just 6 minutes worth definition.
I've watched this OVA infinite amount of times. It is permanently enjoyable.
Anyone who watches Ghibli should watch this. Anyone who likes good quality anime should watch this. This is the best music video I have ever seen. read more
