| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Huh, that's interesting. A next episode preview at the end of this OVA. Kind of a shame that no more episodes seem to have been released after this one, this was a fun watch. |
::End of Transmission:: What have I been watching? Click here and find out on my viewing blog, "Vigorous Viewing" |
| This thing predicted the GBA SP 7 years before it came out wow. Also the writing and script was regular, I'm kinda glad Chiaki went and worked in SEL instead of this |
| I actually don't think it was a shame there was never a second episode. While the first episodes are never the best it just doesn't seem like it even has the pontential to be good. the whole concept is just too cringy, it reeks of that whole time period where people didn't quite understand what the internet was yet but felt compelled to make stuff about it anyhow (looks over in The Lawnmower Man's general direction). |

| Found out about this anime just yesterday, when i read on a Serial Experiments Lain wikia that Arisu and a couple of other characters from SEL apparently were taken from this anime by the same writer. :0 Sounded pretty cool so i had to watch this immediately, since i'm a big fan of SEL. :D I guess the story was kind of simple but i don't mind, i guess i'm simple too hehe. Cool cyber visuals, places... those tentacles surprised me lol But maybe that's because i haven't watched many old anime so i don't know how usual or rare those things are in the anime from those days. :P The OP and ED were nice, i especially loved the ED. Hmm... i hope i may someday get that CD album with the OP, ED and a couple of other songs in my hands... or that soundtrack album... well, that PS1 game sounds cool so why not wish to get a copy of that acquired too, right? ;D But yeah, i haven't watched many older anime... so this looked pretty cool to me. :D Guess i should watch more old anime sometimes, when i come across some. :3 Also yeah, sad if that second episode never got released... obviously i would love to watch that too... :3 But oh well, we got Lain instead, i don't have anything to complain about here. ;D |
| I should probably make a forum signature someday... |
| Are you kidding? How the hell this OVA is one of the worst things in Animation? Yeah it is basic and simple but cmon. A 5.08 of mean score? It baffles me. 7/10 for me. I would wish it could have more episodes, the concept is not bad. It is like Megaman Battle Network Anime. |
| I really liked the character designs and the aesthetic but the video game adverts at the end were more interesting than what happened in the episode. It wasn't very good, but the concept had potential. Lose the tentacles and slow down the fast as fuck, copy-paste pacing and I'd totally watch a goofy series like this. Though it is a bit sad to see a preview for a second episode that was never released. How lonely. |

| This was quite interesting. I liked the futuristic setting. I would've loved to have seen more. It's a shame that the second episode that was advertised never actually got released, although it may actually exist in a company archive in Japan, but the chances of us ever seeing it are slim. The PS1 game looks interesting, and is rather cheap. Who knows, maybe I'll pick it up someday. |

I fond it pretty meh but I wouldn't call it one of the worst things in animation and I think you are blowing things out of proportion a bit, 5.08 only means a lot of people think it's mediocre, not that it's terrible. |

| I thought it was good & I looked to see about that second episode only to find out that it was never released. :( |

Not sure if I should move it to on hold until the (hopefully) change it back to one. Edit: Ah, never mind, I guess the second episode aired on TV but was never released on video, and that this was a TV special before it was an OVA, interesting. |

| honestly, I enjoyed it. Animation looks dated, but considering that this was created during the Windows 95 era... I guess it's passable. |
| lol this is great, it feels like Japan out-japaning itself Its plot got everything to be a dark gritty psychological cyberpunk story, yeah, a lot like Lain The scene they get in the suits then enter the tanks with all those wires and bolts connecting and it fills with water felt straight out of Evangelion And when the monster started transforming and getting mechanical/cybernetic parts, felt like inspired by Akira But tt's actually some cute magical girl thing lol |
