| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The End. Pretty good show. I enjoyed the main story more but the prologue was pretty good as well. 7/10 for me! It would be an 8/10 but it wasn't long enough! |

| Pretty good ending..I feel bad for Graham :(( I kind of liked him!! anyways it was a really neat series..kind of confusing but I really liked the character designs and the music..the story was good but it could have been even better if it were longer! 7/10 for me |
     |
| didn't really like the way tiara treated poor graham...hope he just went back and didn't really die |
 |
| Pretty meh series overall. 4/10. Confusing plot and weakly structured characters. None of them stood out in any particular way for me. The kiss in this felt awkward and misplaced. Oh well, at least the OST and music made some sense.. I didn't feel the romance of this at all though. |

Totally agree, hell it's not even mentioned that they're from ANOTHER world until a lot later (I can't even remember, but it was at least after ep1)! And this is the least worse example of all the things holding this anime back. The storytelling was pretty bad, all jumbled and giving us more pretty shots than any substance. Even the animation, while pretty good most of the time, it wasted too many shots on making things pretty (specially the girls) instead of actually doing something for the story. The OP is a good example of this, it makes absolutely no sense, just some girls floating in space. There's also continuity problems in some things. In the first 4 episodes it's understood that Lena and Kegatsu (or whatever their names were) were in a relationship for quite a while, at least that's how it looks though the flashbacks, and her attitude towards the mission and him make it seem like they broke up before he ran away. Instead the last two episodes show them barely confessing their feelings and him running away right afterwards; one would think she'd be want to have a talk with him about her partner and their relationship. Overall a waste of animation and potential, the story would've decent if they had worked more on it rather than waste time showing us pretty fights (that didn't feel exciting or dangerous either), so many close ups of the girls' faces to show off the design and whatnot. |
| this was the best episode of all imo. especially the festival scene and graham's final moment were great. but besides that the OVA was pretty mediocre imo. too bad, it was really promising. especially the confusing story and showing the characters' backstories only after the main story is over and done, wtf. 5/10 from me. |
 |
| It was really great and amusing, but I feel like something is missing. I wish it were longer... However, I think a re-watch would make some things clearer :) |
 |
| Pretty cool final episode, although I was pretty sad for Graham when he died :( I feel like they moved right on to Japolo quickly without really being sad that Graham was gone. As rushed as I feel like the ending of episode 4 was, I'm glad that we got 2 backstory episodes. They really gave me a new perspective on the show (especially episode 6), and once they were over I was itching to learn more about the world. I can't say whether I prefer the backstory episodes at the beginning or the end of the main story. They certainly answered a lot of questions, and there's a good transition at the end of episode 6 for episode 1 to start, but then again some of the mystery and plot elements would be known (to us viewrs, at least. It would probably be pretty cool watching the character's reactions to the secrets unfolding when we know what's going to happen). I guess I'd have to rewatch the series in the order 5-6-1-2-3-4 to see which way I actually prefer. In the beginning, I thought this was just a pretty cool story, but as the plot unfolded, I liked it more and more! As I finished episode 6, I was a little sad as I kept wanting to see more and more. There was some pretty cool action, and the visuals were really good! Some of the music was interesting and some of the music I found to be pretty "meh", but I really liked the OP! I also love me some dark magical girl shows :3 I'd give it an 8 or 9 out of 10 |

| Felt kind of weird that they focused so much on this Graham dude who had nothing to do with anything that happened in the first 4 episodes other than being mentioned once like an afterthought. A little tweaking and he could have just been her partner the whole time and his whole saga could have been way more meaningful (though it couldn't have been a tragic one I guess). It shows how fucked up the Guardian World is though... Don't get why it would be 'confusing' to the people above since the first 4 episodes don't necessarily depend on the prologue we get at the end. Though I guess if we see their past after the present, their fate is pretty much set in stone (It gives me the feeling of some kind of infinite loop). I liked this though. Other than some inane dialogue here and there this was put together pretty well. The aesthetic is what really mattered though: dances in front of the moon, cloth, bindings, rituals and wind, every little detail and idea just seemed to work together. I wanted to like the character designs but they really only looked good facing the side or during detailed close ups. Also, you don't usually see this sort of pacing in a series of OVA episodes and it felt like a very refreshing change of pace. Tiara's hair color is way too dependent on her environment (that's not really a complaint though) and wtf was with the OP to the first 4 eps? It didn't even look like the same series, like there were characters I did not recognize in there. |

| I'm not sure why this episode and the previous episode weren't put at the beginning, but at least this series continued the trend of being a 90s anime with visuals that I dig. |
 |
| overall I did really like it despite it being pretty confusing at times and not very good at explaining it's own lore and what is happening. |
