Kagerou Daze: In a Day's

(Spoiler warning)
Hey! So to start this review off I wanna quickly talk about the misunderstandings of Kagerou Daze: In a Day's, This OVA is really misunderstood for what it is.

This isnt a 'Reboot' of Mekakucity actors, This isn't a set up for the next anime Mekakucity Reload, and no the villain isn't a new person with an eye ability.


Kagerou Daze: In a Day's is an OVA that is meant to be
1. More content for fans
2. A fun OVA that doesn't take itself as seriously as the other media of the Kagerou project however it is still connected to the project as just a ... separate route like any of the other media.
And to quickly clear up the misunderstanding of who the 'Villain' is, its still Clearing Eyes its just this time he's taken over a random terrorists body instead of Tateyama or Konoha.

Now that's out of the way!

In a day's is a 23 Minute long OVA that is the Terrorist attack scene from the
start of the story with some things changed, for one Hibya and Hiyori aren't dead yet meaning the 'Kagerou daze' events never happen and neither of them have eye ability's, All of the Mekakushi Dan are here unlike other telling's of this part of the story and finally the terrorists they fight aren't the normal ones like before, This time Clearing Eyes has taken one of them over.

Animation/Art style - To start of the animation is a bit odd with one of the first scenes looking really off, however other than that the animation is fine and doesn't take anything away from the story, The art style however is interesting. The Mekakushi Dan are all redesigned and I really like how they all look! They're all different and unique but you can tell who everyone is and they're still the same Mekakushi Dan as before just with a little redesign which isn't new for the Kagerou project as its gone through many art styles.

Story- As I said before its basically just the Terrorist attack scene but with some changes and it fits well in a 20min OVA, it's got its fair share of Kagerou project Easter eggs. Ene sings Yuukei yesterday which is cool and at the end of the OVA as they're all walking out of the mall and Shintaro's eyes start to glow bright red which of course is a tease/reference to his eye ability
'The Retaining Eyes'

Comedy: This OVA is really funny, The Mekakushi Dan's dynamic is still present and is as funny as ever and has its fair share of scenes that made me giggle and laugh. Konoha, Hibiya and Shin are the standouts in this OVA for overalls laughs however its more physical comedy and The Mekakushi Dan being the character they are more than actually cracking jokes.

Music- The music of course is still as amazing as ever, The main Theme of the OVA is named RED plays at the end of the OVA, The music overall really fits the OVA. The OST that plays at the start when the terrorist's start to attack is also really good and cuts at the perfect time.

Voice acting - The Voice acting is perfect, all the voices match the characters. I don't know if this is the same Voice cast as Mekakucity actors as I cannot find the voice cast for In a days at all however the voice acting amazing and they all sound perfect.

Overall- In a days is a bunch of fun, however this is coming from a person who's seen the entire Kagerou project. This OVA isn't a good start to the project nor is it a follow up to Mekakucity actors, If you already know the characters and story of the Kagerou project and just want something fun that doesn't take itself to seriously then you'll adore In a days. If you go into In a days expecting it to be more than it actually is you'll be disappointed.

9/10
