Now, you're probably expecting a lot of bloodshed and mind twists right? That would be most of the cases for us die-hard fans into the mystery, thriller, and horror theme that the original series bought us.
However, in this OVA, we see a more brighter side of Mei Misaki and her "other half". Talk about a splitting image.
We also get to see a bit more about her past as well as her "other half". But you're still probably asking yourself "should I watch this even if I've seen the original series?" Let me answer that with a 7-letter word:
Depends.
Why? Because this is a mini-prequel. In other words, this is not what happens after the series or an anime that will throw bloodshed at your screen every 5 minutes. (well, there was one thrown in).
The OP song remains the same and as for the music, it's a bit calm but still retains that darkening mood. The art remains beautiful just like the original series with some added bonus fan-service like a cherry on top. ~desu
As for the characters, there are only two. Yes, it's the ones you see in the promo poster. What did you expect? I told you this is a prequel OVA, not the entire series. It is however quite interesting to see the relationship of Mei and her other half bond as well as her more energetic, cute, outer self.
This is perhaps the trailer for what some fans may expect before the calm of the storm if you decide to watch it first rather than the original series. And that calm will soon turn into calamity as disaster strikes into the heart of Yomiyama.
So, all in all, this OVA is entertaining but not something I'll remember by for a long time; at least not like the death of you-know-who in the original series or that Nice Boat episode when the class went to the beach. But, is this OVA worth your time watching?
Well, that's for me to know and you to find out.
