Wow, a lot of poor, innocent schlubs die in Cobra stories pretty frequently, but it's usually not all Cobra's fault!

It was nice to see more stuff about Lady.
Kinda annoying that every single woman has to be half naked all the time and to die in front of Cobra.

Cobra takes good care of his ladies, although quite a lot of them die in his presence too.

It's really hard for me to believe that a 2009 OVA can have worse writing than a series from the 80s. Lady was interesting in the TV series because she stood apart from the other women surrounding Cobra, mostly due to her mystery. But once we see her past we realize she's just another blonde Cobra female who looks exactly like every other blonde Cobra female: Utopia, Jane, Dominique etc. Pretty boring if you ask me.

I like how Cobra is self-aware people always die around him lol.

I really like the OVA. It handled Lady's backstory pretty well, the conclusion doesn't feel rushed and the fights were good. 6/10
