The first OVA continues one of the unresolved plotlines from the 62 episode Hunter x Hunter anime. Kurapica finally reveals to Gon, Killua and Leorio the reason why his nen abilities are so high along with the restrictions on it. He thinks his reason for revenge is done, but it is not - the Spiders are still alive! This OVA focuses on Kurapica's unending quest to avenge his "dead" tribe.
Similar to Hunter x Hunter, the art is good but nothing special although it does continue in the same vein as the original anime so viewers will be used to it. The soundtrack reuses a lot of themes that we're familiar with from the anime also.
It's hard to review this OVA without going into spoilers, but here goes!
The story is wonderful! In my opinion this is the best story among the 3 OVAs. There are twists and turns galore. Added to which the cast of the spiders is amazing - here are bad guys you really want to find out more about. The ending was also ... a surprise! It was a fitting resolution but it leaves the possibility for further plot development open.
Every other episode I find myself thinking "Wow, now THAT is a gifted writer" (who wrote the manga) as he managed to pull together everything perfectly - the pacing, the character development and plot twists!
