For just a three episode OVA the story for this is quite well thought out. It's interesting and has some good twists and just generally holds together better than most OVA stories. Interestingly you really don't have to have seen any other parts of Ryu Knight to watch this. It only references the existence of earlier story a little. It stands alone just fine.
A 7 on story.
Art:
The art is more like the first OVA than the actual series. Dark colors, more detail, and a little bit....I don't know how to describe it. Weird I guess. It's fine, not detracting.
A 6 on art.
Sound/music:
As usual the sound is fine, nothing special. The music is quite good, also as usual. I really enjoy the music for it. So a 7 on sound from me.
Character:
The plot for this OVA requires only a few characters from the original shows. The "plot" itself is actually built around new characters and Zephyr. The "main" new character I actually don't like. But that's just my personal opinion. She's a "good" character as far as that goes.
A 7 on character from me.
Enjoyment:
Really I ought not to enjoy this a lot. It's not my "style". I like brighter types of stories, like the original. But it's a very good OVA and I like it despite its less comedy oriented plot. What really brings down my enjoyment level I guess is that I miss many of my favorite characters that aren't in this OVA.
A 7 on enjoyment.
Overall:
I'll give this OVA a 7 overall. It stands alone well, has a good plot, and has a complete ending. Something which is very important to me in judging any type of story.
This is a good watch.
