THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I actually thought this was a decent OVA. It shows the immediate aftermath of FFVII in a different perspective, as seen through the eyes of a regular person who was uninvolved with the events. I totally didn't expect the WRO guy to be Ruby's son either. |

I liked it. I kind of feel sorry for Denzel. He lost everything T.T But i was mighty suprised that Ms. Ruby was Reeves mother. |

I liked it too. It kinda reminded me of the true atmosphere of FFVII. Y'know, that 'Nobuo Uematsu thing'. It shows things from a different perspective, because you don't think about it when playing the first time, but in the game, by destructing Sectors 1-7 you kill a lot of people too... |

Actually, I enjoyed it very much. Reeve's hair was weird though o.O Ruby's Geostigma looked quite scary... And the Exploration Crew was so cute xD Poor kid, he's been through hard times. And...is this THE Johnny? Tifa's Johnny? o.O 'Help adults call out their strength' - sniff x) Reeve, I've always liked you. An wth? She was his MOTHER? O.O Few last lines are very memorable. This was being written in the course of the episode so it may be a little chaotic xP But overall, I liked it very much. I have to read the novels at last x_X m4rc0 said: Do you know if the other episodes will be animated? I certainly hope so...but if it was supposed to be done, it would have been done with the AC:Complete release...Well, we shall wait. Too much hope is the opposite of despair. An overpowering love may consume you in the end. |

To me, it was nothing mind blowing, but I think it had a good touch. I agree that I didn't think about how many people AVALANCHE killed when they destroyed the Mako Reactors, but this OVA gives a good sense about it. I wonder if Denzel ever hated Cloud and Tifa for being responsible for the deaths of his parents or if he even knows that they were a part of AVALANCHE. If there's one thing I hate about this OVA, it's the very end when Johnny and Denzel start laughing. Scenes like that always get on my nerves. <_< |

Is this really only 20 mins x 1 episode like it says in the description? How come the animecrazy stream/link has 3 parts and it's all 25 minutes each? |

As far as I know, it's just a 28 minute, one episode OVA. |

Jesus, I didn't expect this to be so good as it was. I felt terrible for Denzel, he had everything ripped away from him :[ At least he got happiness finally :] Ah man, and the music made me miss the game so much lmao. |

Nothing spectacular, but nice accompaniment to Advent Children. Did they mention in the OVA that Reeves is that Shinra employee or was it just implied? Wouldn't be surprised if I missed something obvious... |

Very good OVA, this one was like a manna after these crappy Dirge of Cerberus and Last Order. |
