Synopsis

Ruka and Rumi Kobayakawa are twin sisters in love with the same man, athletic upperclassman Katsuyuki Touma. Rumi seems supportive of Ruka's fledgling romance with Katsuyuki, until the twins are infected with a strange bacterium that transforms Rumi's personality and gifts the twins with terrifying psychic powers.

This is one of those OVA’s that leaves me asking for more. It’s almost perfect in everyway and I’m not exaggerating. Many 80’s OVA’s range from mediocre to boring, this is definitely one of the diamonds in the rough.

REVIEW OF PLOT: The makers did the best they could’ve done in 3 episodes. Basically summarizing the first 3 volumes of the manga. The story is a simple concept that’s easy to get into. It takes inspiration of Tutankhamun where a bunch of girls find a grave site in a cave unleashing an ancient type of bacteria that infects our two main characters, twin sisters, Rumi and ...

Dark Sea Moon Shadow (as the Real Ones call it) is an incredibly solid representative of the OVA Era. It is not very creative or original, it has twists but they are typical for the genre, you can see the tropes it is using for its story with clarity. Which for this OVA is a strength, not a weakness, because it executes on them with conviction and charm. The character designs are stellar, the energy of each scene is a fun dance between horror and romance, and the story keeps its eye on the main character dynamic without getting bogged down in detail. Also Katsuyuki ...

“Umi no Yami, Tsuki no Kage” is a shoujo horror that has an intriguing premise, but unfortunately the execution is lacking.

This 3-episode OVA based on the manga of the same name centers on twin sisters Ruka and Rumi who both have a crush on the same guy named Katsuyuki. The twins get infected with a mysterious substance from an old burial site that imbues them with powerful psychic abilities whose strength seems to be tied to moon cycles. The infection also causes Rumi to undergo a dramatic personality change, and she becomes ruthless in attempts to kill Ruka so she can have Katsuyuki for herself. ...
