Aquarian Age: Saga II - Don't Forget Me...

Aquarian Age: Saga II - Don't Forget Me... is unfortunately forgettable.
However, the second entry in this card game advertisement series delivers a better experience than the original TV anime.
Gone are the stupid drama, the insufferable characters, the boring as hell story that just drags on... along with everything else!
The OVA opens with an entirely clean slate. The fractions are back, and that's it. It's an extremely simple revenge story, with new (one dimensional) characters never fleshed out because of the severe lack of runtime. Oh, and they couldn't fit a story into those 50 minutes. Still it was enough for an opening video, which leads ... me to believe that this was planned to be a short series instead of just one episode. Things happen at breakneck speed with little to no explanation following an exposition-fight scene pattern. I really wish it had 20 more minutes to squeeze in some character interactions, or some plot.
While the story and characters are as barebones as they come, the music and visuals are incredible.
Madhouse delivers as usual. Gorgeous character design, incredible animation quality, surprisingly gory battles. It's a sight to behold!
It's brutal enough to fit between the Devilman ova series and Ninja Scroll.
Ask yourself the question, would you rather have the forced lovesick drama that goes nowhere for 12 episodes where the characters toss their lives aside because they wouldn't talk about their feelings? Or you'd rather watch a short ova that aims to please? Personally, I'm glad they didn't even bother if the alternative is the original Aquarian series.
Aquarian Age: Saga II is akin to a flashy videogame intro that gets you excited and leaves you wanting more. That's all it needed to be as an advertisement. I recommend it to everybody who likes anime for the visual aspect, you don't have to watch the original series to understand this one. If you think you ran out of violent ovas, this is for you. Check it out if you have an hour to spare.
