Seriously, what the hell was that!? The animation sucked, the jokes sucked... The only decent thing about that OVA was its seiyuu cast and that's all.

It was an average anime, however the ED is catchy and it had its moments of lolz.

6/10

What's the name of the opening and ending songs ?

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

Literally the same joke for 30 minutes straight...

And based entirely on a 30 year-old video game to boot...

I liked it. Nothing great, but still better than some other comedies out there.

Reminded me of how I laughed at Mars of Destruction's failure.

Nothing's funny at all. If it wasn't for Sugita, I was going to score it 1.

That... was 30 minutes of my life that I will never get back.

There was nothing funny about it at all, and it was mind-numbingly boring.

This so-called 'comedy' made me smile only once - when I heard Norio Wakamoto's voice.
As a whole - it's totally unfunny, and characters designs and animation were crappy.
I didn't think that I would ever give another 1 ('Mars of Destruction'), but... I just had to.

This show just made my day. Anyway, graphics is pretty bad for OVA, this reminds me of early "School 13" style.

'Spelunker-sensei' makes fun of the game flaws.

If you NOT played the Spelunker, not tried beat the game, and not f*cked up with endless deaths from the smallest hit, you'll never understand humor.

10/10. C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!

Opening theme called the "Risk for your life".

You're right, the only good thing was the seiyu cast. x_X

Great, there's a special requirement to understand the humor in this one? o_O I'm not critical of your assessment because you might as well be right, reading from most of the posts here ahead of mine, maybe that's why most of us didn't get it. >_<

When I started watching this, I say...what the f*ck was all these dying constantly. When I saw the ED with the game this OVA was based off and a comment from here, I remember this game. Heck, I even had the chance to play the game in the past. The game itself is not very engaging. The easy death of the chara was a bit turn off to stay long in playing this game. Man, I am remembering it now.
The constant dying without explanation (even in the game there's none) totally turned this OVA like into crap. The story seems senseless. But yeah like others said, the VA cast was the one good thing here and I think also a bit of the bg music.

Although the OVA as a whole isn't anything special, some jokes were just hilarious. It's just a shame that you need to experience the game first and then watch it. You'll really understand Spelunker more if you've BEEN Spelunker. Like, one of the last scenes where Spelunker fights that punk and jumps. Most of you probably wouldn't understand the joke there. But that was a good joke IMO. In the game, when you jump, you need to be on the same level as the ground. Otherwise you're dead. One pixel too high and bye.

I'm glad that it's just an OVA though. This worked the best as this. Overall, 5/10 since the production values were low and not all jokes were funny. I'd watch it again.

Also, the opening is so awesome. I've been listening to it since two years ago without even checking the OVA until now haha.

Nobody gonna mock the bad engrish of the op?
...Oh everyone say me: "he is just a spelunker"
That line killed me ^^'

If it ever gets lower than that, consider me dead.

That was awesome! They get really creative with the jokes. I love the opening so much. He kinda sounds like Serj Tankian on the chorus.
