Synopsis

Based on the RPG game of the same name. Aurica Nestmile is a young Reyvateil, or "singing maiden" who feels her song magic is not of much use to anyone. From high up on the tower Ar Tonelico comes Lyner Barsett, whose airship is totaled upon impact with the ground. These two meet up, and in the search for someone who can repair the ship, end up helping both each other and themselves.

Ar Tonelico OVA is based on the PS2 video game of the same name. I've played the game itself before watching this OVA.
The animation itself is on par. What I like is that they used some of anime scenes from the game (only modified a bit).
The story itself is not good but not bad either. After watching this, I thought that this was made to show how the magics are done and show in depth one of the places found in the game. Just my thoughts. Really.
I do like the characters a lot. Sadly, only some characters appeared but managed to retain some of its read more

Recommendations

Main heroes in both series falls down from Heaven/Tower whatever.
Both girls seem to have some unique powers but strongly deny it.
Both reeeeealy need some continuation.
both anime base on a game poly phonica is a visual novel and ar tonelico is considerd one too also dantist and reyvateil use both music to support their allies but ar tonelico use song magic there quite similar when i first watch poly phonica i remember ar tonelico
