I didn't really care for the character design, but I found the whole concept and story very intriguing. The dogs looked pretty cool though. Also that ED was pretty sweet.

I found the idea very interesting plot, would definitely follow an anime so
the desing of the characters was a bit unusual, but the animation itself was good, also liked the soundtrack (especially the ED), and dubbing
one sci-fi with enough mystery story is not new, but putting action, suspense and even a little romance left everything better
I'll look if there is other media, it seems there is a LN, to accompany the story ..

A good story with a good animation, but this OVA needs a complete anime to be good.

Nigga damn

This shit was great

The concept was basically a paraphrased SAC, and it was highly interesting, even if it was immensely less detailed than SAC. But it still IS detailed for a one-shot.

The dialogues were quick, straight to the point, and playful. The animation was great, and the art style is something NEVER presented before.

It felt like I was watching poetry. And to my un-surprise, Shiki was translated as "Poem."

The format is similar to RYO's, but UNLIKE RYO, THIS does NOT FUCKING SUCK like a leech in heat. Things made actual sense, I could tell who's who, and they finished it in an astoundingly perfect way to end a pilot episode.

That was some refreshing direction. I want to give this a 7, but I wanted more. A 6 will suffice because they just HAD to pick Ledouche and some random skank to be the VAs.

I loved the concept! it reminded me of the show intelligence but waaaaaaay better. The incest (mild as it may be) took away a lot of my enjoyment though.

It would be nice as a longer series instead of a 20 minutes short movie.

This was actually alright... wouldn't mind a full movie or series of it... without the incest thing what was sort of going on there.

20 min too short, really needs 1-2 cours, hints a complex scifi world like sao+gits.
Great character design/art, line work is amazing, and everyone's hair & that dress is pretty.
Ost & ED are great. Solid directing despite the plot rush.
"boku" boy soul didn't seem too surprised at the Shiki female body, maybe it's a tomboy soul.

Top reviews summarized my thought of this OVA, generic characterization with a onii-san who wants to get into his imouto's pants. Can't judge the plot since it's apparent that this is only one part of the whole thing. OST is decent, nothing special.

I see a bit of Death Note directing influence in the early part of the episode, then a bit of Shinbou's trait of highlighting a female's 'assets'. Animation tried to be too fancy sometimes for no reason, like when the sister was changing, and then talking about how she's unfamiliar with this body, the arm animation is just overdoing it.

Overall judgement: Completely skippable.

This would've made such a cool series with Remu and Poem side looking for their important things. Poem would be looking for her body and was she/he and Remu would be looking for Shiki's consciousness. That would've made a killer season.

I would say though IMO this Poem person is male the way they referred to themselves, that's just my guess.

Anyways, 4/10 for leaving us hanging and the animation was not that wowing.

Well, uh, I like the art style? But other than that I pretty much hated everything about this. The world and narrative are flimsy, we get more shots of the girls' chest and butt than actual personality, and there's even some bonus "oh but we're not technically blood related so it's fine" incest to boot. Ugh.
