Story: The story was ok for what it was, they tried to pack as much into the OVA as humanly possible, and it surprisingly worked for the most part. I didn't have the problem of needing every minor detail explained to me, my imagination filled in the gaps fine.
Though I did have a problem with a couple of details. The first of which was the fact that the US military were presented as boogyman type bad guys here. There was no real explanation as to why they were hunting down the boy, it was obviously not because he was a white, since they seemed to have no knowledge of the Pandoras, and it was never explained as to why the flowers were their enemies. They seemed to be there as a generic bad guy force, which reeks of the anti-American messages that are popular in Japan at this point in time and left me very uneasy. The second thing I had a problem with is the ending, but I won't get too spoilery with that.
Art: It was fine, animation could be a bit stilted at times but all and all it was decent for a low budget kickstarter project.
Sound: again decent, not much to say here, the music fit the scenes and that's good enough for me.
Characters: There is only so much you can do with characters in a 30min film, but the did a decent job of making the characters likable enough even if we didn't get to know them all too well.
Enjoyment: I think I would have enjoyed this a bit better if it weren't for the anti-american sentiment and the confusing ending.
All and all this wasn't a bad anime, but I'm on the fence as to whether to recommend this to anyone. It's rather impressive for a kickstarter project, but it also has some problems and a message that I don't really care for and reeks of Japanese right wing propaganda. This one leaves me torn.
