Synopsis

She's an archeologist AND a black belt and Ray Kazuki will need her brains and her brawn as she plunges into a thrill-filled adventure. Ray's examining an exciting new archeological discovery: a legendary temple located in an isolated area of the world.

As always, she has with her a strange mirror that belonged to her father; a mirror that may provide access to a vanished civilization. On the excavation, Ray meets Mai and Mami Tachibana, freewheeling pubescent girls who heedlessly court danger. And danger they find, in the form of Rig Veda.

Veda's after a big prize: Ray's mirror. But she will have to stop him at all costs, because if Veda gets his hands on the powerful object, he will possess secrets that could lead to disaster.

If you're a fan of Indiana Jones like I am, you will absolutely love this weird little OVA.

The plot is essentially the same as Raiders of the Lost Ark and alot of the sequences and music are copyright-infringingly similar, Ray goes around chasing an conspicuously evil German and treasure while being followed by 2 twins. There's a good amount of action scenes, but the start is definitely the highlight. Ray sortof takes a back-seat at first but we start to get there later on. Both episodes of the OVA take place in different places and feel a bit more serialised, but the plot does ...

Mixed Feelings

Explorer Woman Ray is an OVA from AIC, the same studio behind Bubblegum Crisis, Vampire Princess Miyu, Battle Athletes, Blue Gender, Sasameki Koto and the terrible OreImo. just to name a few I've reviewed. Based on a manga by Okazaki Takeshi. Although this one is far less known than any of those, but being a “hipster” I just have to dreg up obscure titles just so that I can say I've seen them and you haven't. Actually, the truth is that I picked twenty super short anime that looked kind of interesting, assigned them numerical values and rolled a d20 to determine which one to ...
