Kill Me Baby: Butsuzou Kegatte Nise Halloween

The only reason why nobody want to write a review about this OVA is either because they watched the 12-episodes series first, which came out a year before, without watching this OVA at all; or because they watched the 12-episodes series first and then watch the OVA and held a grudge upon it afterwards because of the very disappointing previous series, which made this OVA appear to be mocking the audiences' expectation; or because they watched neither of both, despite the fact that this particular one here is actually a good comedy anime out there even though this is just an OVA.

While the ... previous Kill Me Baby was pretty much not quite appealing to audiences because of its unfitting slow-paced-old-gags travesty of comedy; this OVA, in a way, made the most of it. Although the rest of the elements of this OVA is just the same as the previous 12-episodes series (OST, characters, plotless background story), the faster pace, the various witticism with its more aggressive (often violent, like "Tom&Jerry violent") approach and the stronger-ly unique characterization, somehow made me laugh more than I expected to compared to when I was watching the first series. Because it was aired after the first Kill Me Baby TV series, however, this particular hidden gem would make you feel like you're watching J.C.Staff's product of redemption, or aplology, or mockery, or carelessness out of sympathy over the series. Name it whatever you want.

It doesn't matter, nevertheless, how bad something in the past could be. If you'd like to see what potentially would be the best comedy anime out there (if you don't mind with 'chibi' characters and random happenings), this OVA would help you.

This OVA has literally the very same format as the original series. Just this time around the madness goes on for a few minutes longer. So everything you say about the series automatically applies to the OVA.

Kill Me Baby is a pure comedy OVA. It never wanted to be something else and it never claimed anything else. It was advertised as such. Just like any other comedy show gets advertised as such and not as a deep Psycological-Horror-Thriller with a Sci-Fi-Twist.

There is no continious story going on, cause why the hell should it be. You don't criticize shows like the Simpsons for that neither do ... you?
Every episode and every OVA is seperated in 2-3 different adventures that the main characters have. The humour is a mix of crazy dialouges and situations combined with a lot of slap stick. But what really puts this COMEDY anime over the top are the three main characters or better yet the three voice actors. The voice actors are doing an amazing job to make these characters sound as whacky as possible and going the extra retarded mile and I mean that in the most positive way. No "kawai desu", these characters are flat out savage in their manners, even tho those manners differ from character to character. Also some of the background sounds and noises are made by the three voice actors themselves which adds perfectly to the whackyness of the overall premise of the show.

All in all this OVA is the perfect anime if you just want to relax and forget about your everyday life. Or just if you want to have some fun and laugh in general.
