This review is for that one guy, out of the entire crowd, who freaking hates this show, so I'm expecting some "not helpful" but I just HAD to write this. Decide if you want to give this anime a try after you read the entire review. You may add it as your favorite or hate it with your entire soul and body!

•Story: How many of you liked death note? Why? Because at some point you get that death note feeling. You know! The one where a guy has a super natural power that nobody but him and the one who gave him the power know about. And he tries to change the word, but there's this one guy who thinks they are friends when in fact they are enemies, etcetera etcetera.
This show is death note, only with a more childish sound to it, and worst twists and plot.

•Art: The art was great, can't complain about much on that level, it's a matter of taste.

•Sound: The sound had it's ups and downs, but it didn't stand out as great, neither did it disappoint.

•Characters: Oh boy... This is where things really started to go downfall... the death note plot... yeah I can deal with it... but the characters, different story.
The fact that you get attached to a character for 12 episodes, and he is taken out in the most horrific way possible, and forgotten after only 1 episodes of their death, yeah that freaking pisses me off. It's like they didn't matter at all!
The characters also suffer way to fast/dramatic changes! They go from right to left and from left to right in a matter of 3 minutes.

•Enjoyment: Until the middle of the series I quite enjoyed the series. It had some drama, a little bit of slice of life, some romance, it definitely had action and enough comedy to keep things cool. I found myself more than once very moved by certain events.
Now this is where the crap stars! Keep in mind this is enjoyment not the story/art/sound or any other section. So, I'm at the final episodes, everything is going steady, something just pops out of nowhere that looks like it's going to end the series with a little bit of drama, but it will all end up in a good way. It's that type of happy ending, where you know some stuff is gonna happen before you get to it, but it's obvious it's gonna come and it's gonna be good. And as I expected, it came, everything was very good, a 4/5 star ending, beautiful. But then! Everything gets turned 360 degrees! Because of a stupid mistake, and no I don't mean a well calculated, well placed, well timed mistake, I mean DOWN RIGHT STUPID, OUTRAGEOUSLY STUPID, mistake that changes everything and ensures the most, rage worthy ending!

•Overall: Watch the show, you might find it very entertaining, it has some very good episodes that really stand out, but as I said, the ending screws up, big freaking time! And the second season is just an excuse to drag. As mentioned at the top, you might love it, you might hate it. I know I did.

Note: This OVA is not going to tell you the life of Ed, Al and all the other characters after the series and movie. The only purpose the OVA has it's to make the viewer smile at the end. It's only 3 minutes so what did you expect?
Seeing the short amount of length the OVA had, there isn't much to say. Personally I enjoyed it. The story was catchy enough and made some people wonder, the art was... as usual, the sounds were good too, and the characters were the only things that stood out , especially the one at the end.
Overall watch it, smile, get over it. read more
