Rokudenashi Blues

Rate:7
seen via english subtitles

Plot

Pro: has a positive message. No matter what you will do your classmates will come in when you need them

Pro: had a nice turn of events. For example, the ending was not what you would expect. Not only a real game changer but a nice form of payback.

Negative: plot was fairly simple. Fight for respect and honor.

Art
Pro: blended nicely with the art

Pro: did not show realistic blood. Normally that might be a drawback but this is a comedy so it works.

Pro: had a nice little different cartoonist intro. Which added to the comical vibe.

Character
Pro: each character had an appropriate background.

I watched this OVA on YouTube. The video had a terrible 240p resolution and the subtitles were the most retarded Engrish subs ever made, making sometimes impossible to follow the dialogues due to the barely understandable/nonsense translation. This made the whole experience quite painful, seriously limiting the overall enjoyment, but the anime is decent.

Rokudenashi Blues is just another obscure and hard to find OVA from the early 90s. It's nothing special: very short and with a simple plot, it features some classic high school gang-related violence.

There isn't much room for character or plot development because the OVA is about 30 minutes long. Art and animation are fair enough for an anime from the early 90s. The overall enjoyment is enough for this anime to be worth watching.
Recommended if you're into minor and obscure OVAs, if you like the 80s/90s style animation and/or if you want to watch something entertaining but you don't want to start a TV series or a long movie.
