Amnesia OVA

Story 6/10
As someone who likes the otome game and even enjoyed the anime series I thought it was a lot of fun watching. At the beginning maybe a little bit confusing but once you’re in it’s a fun watch. Nothing too deep but for an OVA well done.

Characters 9/10
Watching the characters interact with each other was really the most fun about this. They all stick to their characters and it’s refreshing to see how they “bond” (or un-bond – I know, that’s not a word). It was worth to watch just to see Ikki in a panda-costume and glasses *-*. Also all ... the other characters were simply awesome (except for Toma whom I automatically told to shut up every time he appeared on screen and opened his mouth. Not that it helped though). There was specifically one scene with Shin which made me like him more :3. Also I know most people don’t like MC because they think she’s rather bland but I think she is cute and likable as proven here.

Animation 6.5/10
Was it just me or did the animation look different from the series? I honestly don’t know which one I’d prefer. Anyway, still nicely animated.

Music 10/10
The OST is simply amazing<3. And most of all: they kept the Opening from the anime series which I fully understand. Because in my opinion it will always be the best anime Opening I’ve ever seen <3. “Zoetrope” by Nagi Yanagi is a masterpiece! The Ending theme was also beautiful and fitting.

Overall/Enjoyment 8/10
While it’s nothing mind-blowing I really enjoyed watching. That being said there is a BUT… Because I think you’ll most likely enjoy it if you either played the game or watched the anime series (maybe even both) and are at least a little familiar with the original plot. It might be enjoyable even without this knowledge but I’d recommend it because this way you’ll get the most fun out of it (also when it comes to the characteristics of each character). But if you do watch the series a little warning: don’t expect it to have the same tone as this OVA because it’s a little more serious and a little darker.

This was a more humorous side of Amnesia, so I enjoyed it. It's really not different from a normal episode, but it involves all five male candidates and I guess it's a little more teetering on the funny side, so I understand why it's an OVA. Worth watching if you just want to finish up the Amnesia show (it's a tad different, but let's be honest, it was rare to see someone watching Amnesia for the meaning and depth alone so don't be too hopeful when you watch this either).
It's mostly just fanservice in the form of an episode, but less serious than the main ... story (because nobody finds it unromantic that the main girl was being chased by a tsundere, a yandere, a man with the emotional capacity of a rock, an emotionally scarred playboy, and a thoroughly traumatized man with split personalities).

To begin with, I have to say this is better than the original anime. But then again, I'm not sure why I even bothered watching it.

To make it short, I decided to watch this because I'm a little OCD about leaving things unfinished. If I start an anime, I must finish every season and OVA and special and movie-- I just HAVE to. I didn't like Amnesia as a series, but I ended up here anyhow-- but I liked this a lot more than the original show.

The story was simple and fast-paced enough that I didn't get too bored. It had a simple ... point, got resolved quickly, and made some sense.

The art, like usual, was freaking gorgeous. The weird costumes and stuff irked me like usual, but the eyes and backgrounds were phenomenal.

The opening and closing themes were astounding like usual, though the background music sometimes seemed displaced.

The characters were eh. They were even more out of character than they were in the original anime, but they were simple enough.

I enjoyed this enough to get through the episode, but I probably won't ever watch it again.

I would recommend this if you: liked the original anime, like cute sorta-crack episodes, like reverse harems

I would NOT recommend this if you: despised Amnesia, like plot, despise reverse harems

Have a great day everyone!
