Not a bad little OVA, when you get right down to it. Reminded me of those old direct-to-video scifi/horror movies from the 80's, like Galaxy of Terror, The Dark Side of the Moon, and Event Horizon, though the latter two came out much later. Like most 50 minutes OVAs, it just never really had time to develop its ideas to their fullest.

That was a weird movie.. I mean, the monster? is so weird is like a devilish monster that can produce holograms, illusion, ghost, monster-insects-like (you know the boss from Metroid) and even zombies is like too much to defeat but I guess that was the funny part, unbelievable, these horror sci-fi movies tend to have a typical end this is not the exception but.. still too much for a monster xD Overall is a funny experience.

I thought this was pretty mediocre (certainly not helped by the bad VQ for the fansub).

The OVA had trouble ending, while I liked the idea of him not being able to stop the third ship and thus the cycle continues, I preferred the hint at him being the only survivor and going into stasis knowing the ship didn't have enough energy (or so I thought at the time) to continue keeping everyone alive. So he eventually went into die and join his friends.

The Sex scene was so out of nowhere and made no sense, we went from lives on the line to suddenly calm relaxed bed scene with a single transition! Thats a pretty powerful kiss lol

In order to calm her down after their comrades got massacred by these bizarre monsters, they had to find a room where they could have sex. As the poster above me pointed out, this scene really came out of nowhere and I don't think this was necessary for the story. :P

I also don't understand the ending. After that ship arrived....what happened next? It just cut to the credits.

Well... Didn't really like this, unfortunately. :/ Some of the scenes weren't supposed to be funny but it made me laugh somehow, like the dude who was scared that he won't get to take a piss before he would get killed. Like, what the...?? :P

I'm kinda surprised of the low rating. I enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for space and horror so I was hooked on the premise alone. For an OVA, it has some animation too. I think a few details could have been fleshed out, and some of the humor missed the mark for me, but good overall.

The sex scene out of nowhere was dumb and took away from it.

I was not a fan of the sound design, I think it would have greatly benefited from better music in general. It's good though. Like a anime b-movie, I think it's worth a viewing if you're into horror.

While it showed potential, this was generally just far too short to develop properly. Some scenes were completely unnecessary too and could honestly just have been cut out.

"Everyone's dying! We're gonna die too!"
"Let's fuck"
"Ok"

The most retarded sex scene I have seen in one of these OVAs.

It was ok, most of the scenes were dark I didn't know what's happening in it, but overall I liked the story,
I'll give it a 6, even thought it's an 80s OVA, the animation could've been somewhat better.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
