The first thing that catches the eye is the animation. Compared to the series it sucks. There plainly isn't other word to describe it then „sucks”. It's horrible. The more horrible when compared to the Green-Green series, as I really liked everything that was before this OVA.
It's visible that the artist either just tried copying the previous artist forcing himself to draw or just someone very incompetent was hired to do this job. Obviously not enough effort has been used for making of this episode.

The Plot:
The idea of the story itself in the anime is actually pretty good. The fact that it's an alternate reality and the characters don't know each other, isn't. God knows what gave the directors such an awful idea. The plot seems forced, especially the parts involving love. Midori doesn't know Yuusuke here, so her falling in love with him in a matter of a week barely talking without the element present in the series (the love transcending death itself) is out of the question. Then how did that happen? And it's just one among many failures in this single OVA.

Characters:
Most of the characters are nearly totally opposite of the real characters from the series. Where's Tenjin's pervertedness? Since when are the girls impressed by Socho, not scared? Haruno is all moral all of a sudden. And there's much more! Just these I mentioned are seen straight from the very first minutes of the OVA. Near all wrong. A big failure, because it's the characters and their personalities that were the best part in the show.
They all seem plain and emotionless as if the script writer had to hurry and make something just to milk more money out of the series.

Sound:
This is the best part of the OVA. I had nothing against the music. The intro and outro sound pretty good, the music in the show doesn't annoy the watcher nor doesn't it fit, which is quite good. It's not even slightly close to a masterpiece though.

I didn't enjoy this OVA in any way. It's a big disappointment to anyone who watched Green-green series before and it's impossible to recommend this to anyone, either fans or people who have no idea about Green-green.
I marked this on 3/10 just because of the music and the plain fact that it's green-green – a series I liked and enjoyed watching. And I still believe that this OVA doesn't deserve such a high mark. Shame on the creators.
