When you look at the cover you make an idea out of what you might find inside of the OVA and it is indeed really all of what you had anticipated.
If you re into eighties sfi-fi anime and old sfi-fi in general and if you enjoyed the cover, you’ll certainly enjoy the content.
I did enjoy pretty much everything in this OVA, the character designs, the characters themselves (they were not outstanding characters but they did fit their roles well), the “1985” very good animation, the story was a straight story and did well for it’s 43 minute run, the concept could have been better elaborated if we had more time, but it’s still okay. The music was excellent 80’s music for this kind of stuff, especially near the end, I guess the soundtrack is discontinued since way back, because I’d love to hear the full OST out of this title.
The only bad thing was the running time. It was too short in it's 43 minutes run. You just can help it but feel unsatisfied when it reaches the end. It's a pity that it hasn't been made into a full feature film, otherwise we would have a very good eighties anime flick here.
There were some aspects that made me remind of 1980 “Terra e…” Film, Justy himself looks a lot like Blue. He is a strong esper and has the same blue hairstyle and is probably a strong esper like Blue was in his most strong days. The art style is also pretty similar and the character design of the rest of the characters are similar too.
A curiosity about this is that Justy was released as a double feature with Area 88, another excellent OVA of the eighties, so you might get a clue on the quality you’ll find inside.
