its alright as its own ova, but as an adaptation it fails. Especially the voice actors they chose, their voices didn't match their characters at all.

It was pretty good but I wished it had more episodes, I also feel like the ending was messed up as it was showing Ryoko's father at the end and he doesn't appear for another 15 or so chapters after the introductions. It was pretty good seeing Kitano regardless.

It's been 3 years since I've watched this anime, I honestly don't much about the story anymore.

It's easy to say that they "should have" adapted the entire series into an anime, but the OVAs aired in 1996. The manga went on from 1992 to 2000, so we were just about half-way through the story at the time. Either the OVAs didn't get much love at the time or didn't make money, the best case would have been a 13 episode series covering what was released at the time. As unfortunate as it is, no studio would ever pick up a completed manga, especially not one that is as old as this one is. Even though Angel Densetsu is considered to be great by many now, maybe it wasn't the case back then or it was even more underrated or unknown at the time. I figure the author's second work, Claymore, is what drew people's attention to Angel Densetsu in the first place, and with that, the manga got spread around as a recommendation in recent years.

As for the OVAs themselves, I enjoyed them for what they were. I haven't watched many older shows, but I really enjoyed this one. Maybe it's because I read the manga first, but I certainly was interested in the series since the first chapter, so the OVA still would have caught my interest.

Eh, I don't quite understand why this one is so highly liked. I didn't find it very funny and found the premise pretty stupid. I feel like it would have been better if it had focused more on him trying to make friends rather than the "delinquent story with a twist" it turned out to be. In my opinion it's just another mediocre unfinished OVA that deserves to stay that way.

I'd like to, at the same time, agree and disagree with you. I find the premise quite good and really funny, however, the question is how long it can last, as the gag that is repeated over and over quickly loses its impact. So perhaps it's a good idea the anime ended on a high note. Of course I haven't read the manga so I can't tell if the premise was successful till the end, but I enjoyed the ova for what it was.
