I don't have a huge amount to say about this OVA.

It was well animated, I liked the characters. I have to say that I couldn't NOT see 'Gene Starwind' from Outlaw Star every time I looked at the main character. Must be a previous incarnation.

The sound was a bit of a standout: whoever did the engineering did a great job creating a great ambiance. I don't generally notice the sound-scape unless it's particularly good or bad.

Apparently this is based on a series of books, as a sort of teaser. If that's the case, then this did the trick in getting my interest up. I would like to know where the characters go from this point, and how the story plays out. Now that Tokyopop is out of the game, it seems an English language version is not likely, though.

Tip: watch past the credits; there is a closing scene/teaser. read more
