| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Very meh. Why are Megami Tensei adaptations so bad. The ending theme was...okay i guess? That's about it. I remember playing this game and couldn't get through the first 5 minutes of the game. Very difficult game D: |
| That was better than I was expecting. More coherent too. |
 |
| This was meh, but I still hope for a decent anime adaptation of the novels someday. |
 |
| Animation and presentation was great! I also really liked the soundtrack. However, the story was very basic, as were the characters. Not much of anything going on with either one, just some surface-level writing. The whole thing seemed mostly like it was just an excuse to showcase some cool looking stuff. Not sure if the light novel differed in this regard. It's also a shame that they weren't able to continue this and just left it on a cliffhanger like that. Anyway, I still thought it was pretty enjoyable despite all that. A fun little horror OVA that's still worth checking out for it's visuals and horror elements. Good viewing around Halloween time for sure. ^_^ |

| This was just the epitome of the old pre 90s era of anime. A single ova with that sound and music from the high age of video gaming OLD SCHOOL COMPUTERS AND TECH! I LOVE IT! INteresting how ahead of its time this ova was. I was never into the whole franchise of the digital devil stuff, but I wish I had seen this ova back in the day. Nowadays we are all overly familiar with what hard drives and cpu and gpu and Ram and Rom and integrated circuity is, along with virtual reality and all the other tech ideas under the sun. Sitll Ia liked this, it had really good shading, coloring was simple but realistic without being overly bright and chipper. It all fit fairly well. Even the giant databanks of massive computers in a high school. That seemed legit lol. BUt it always comes down to somethign trying to enter into our world...through sex. BUt that is the easiest way to transfer life. Seems legit. But literally eating a chick out...TO THE DEATH! And the near heavy metal like musical score, that, though not as rock, was like watching something from longer before, like the 70s. And the the gore...Thats metal! And one horny, thirsty ass lady that gave up on teaching by the end lol :P 6.5/10 |
| Guess I'll necropost, too While as a fan of MegaTen I like the show , it kinda sucks if you didn't read DDS:MT beforehand. Really wouldn't recommend it to someone other than hardcore hackers of the series. Kinda sucks that lots of disturbing moments were cut, butehwhatever |

| I wonder what the hell Nakajima expected when dealing with a real demon. Pretty culty school they got, not only students and teachers participating in the rituals but also some descendant of some god |
 |
| Nothing. He was braindead from the get-go. I mean, summoning random demons (or was he intended to summon Loki?) and thinking that you'll be ok is a stupid move. |

| Just because you like the game doesn't mean you have to like this ova. I feel like the ratings are inflated because of all the people treating this as a bonus to games made in the future. As a standalone this really sucked and they could have done better |

It was a cool concept for 1986, like summoning demons through PC and such. Though the plot in the first arc really sucks. Without the second and the third arcs, the story isn't something to talk about. Though the series would give off a lot of Devilman vibes by this point. |

HeroicIdealism said: This was an incoherent mess. So bad I don't have any more words. 2/10 because it had good art at least. AdamKadmon said: Is there a room for improvement?

| I couldn't stop laughing when he was like,"Protect this ceremony, electronic beast Cereberus!" |
 |
| I like the SMT games but this anime is just meh. And the plot is confusing and vague too. Maybe the novel is clearer about it. |
 |
| Yeah, this should have been adapted as a tv series, than so be it a ova. I love the broody atmosphere of it though. |
  |
The story is interesting, I liked the first half, the second half was just random fight scenes and a cliffhanger, too bad though, if they kept a nice pace like in the first half it would've been better, I'll give it a 6. |

| What a cool shlock. The virtual demon concept is a pretty interesting one. |
 |
| Huh... It started strong with some school horror and weird nonsense hacker action. Then the second half really bogs down with sludge flying around and a whimper of a conclusion between the MC and Loki. His computer also deus ex machina'd into existence, so they would help from Cerberus. It didn't even feel like there was really an ending other than alluding to the coming of Set. Cool musick and visuals though. I love the misty landscapes. |
