Not bad at all. Go watch it together with your friends that also happen to be fans of the Fire Emblem video game series!

===Pros===
Great '90s style artwork and very nice orchestrated music based on the music from the game. The animation itself looked fairly smooth at times as well. I personally really enjoyed the voice acting, but I can see where people may think otherwise. It is delightfully cheesy.

===Cons===
While the story sets up a solid premise that follows the video game, it doesn't get to go very far due to this series never surpassing two episodes of length. The same issue can be said for the characters. The voice of characters were often out of sync with their mouth animations, which becomes slightly annoying. However, the fact that this is only two episodes long, could be a pro to those who didn't find this OVA to be particularly enjoyable. If you really did not like it, at least you didn't waste much time.

Don't watch if you don't care about Fire Emblem and Marth or you are expecting something to be of quality of a Ghibli film.

===Final Thoughts===
It is a shame that this show didn't continue to be longer. I could really see the potential in this show. It had a lot of room to develop and grow. The style and story of the Fire Emblem series is just the right recipe for an anime adaptation. Cheers to Nintendo and Intelligent Systems if they ever let an anime studio try again to make another OVA out of one of the newer games (or older ones) in the franchise.

For what this OVA is, it is a must see if you are a fan of the Fire Emblem video game series and/or you main Marth in Super Smash Bros. Get together with some friends and embrace the cheesiness. You are bound to have some good laughs. Gordon the archer especially has some real laugh out loud moments. It has some rather epic moments too. You don't have much to lose.

I low-key loved this OVA, but realistically it is probably a 5 out of 10, because of its incompleteness. Had the show continued, it could've been an 8 or 9 out of 10, because it was on a solid path to be something bigger and better. Nonetheless, it was quite enjoyable and I would totally watch it again for fun. So for me, it is a 7/10.
