This is not so much a sequel as an OVA covering the very beginning of the story of Glass Mask. It begins with Maya, the girl who is not good at anything... aside from her fascination with all that is movies and dramas. Even her own mother believes her a useless girl. If a tv is on, she won't hear a word you say, if you send her out to deliver Ramen she may come back hours later, she can't remember a single formula for school... but she can recite any play she's watched once by heart.

Anyone who is remotely familiar with this series is most likely aware of its two adapatations which are both TV shows that aired in 1984 and 2005 respectively.

I don't like how many times Masumi acts like in horrible romance drama. No, I like this line in orginal anime because it was not in ... Aug 31, 2022
I'll be comparing this to the OG Glass no Kamen from 1984.
Visuals: 1) A lot darker, creepier and sometimes outright scary! 2) the animation is noticeably recycled and thus breaks immersion easily 3) Bad syncing of voice acting and animation 4) The characters have gone through a massive redesign. The original version from 1984 is visually very faithful to the manga but these OVA characters look nothing like what they should look like Sound: ... |
