The pacing was ridiculously slow. The still shots and pans of nature, while pretty, made me feel like I was watching a manga. I'm not inherently opposed to a lack of dialogue, but the silence wasn't really used to do anything. A short chapter or two from the manga were stretched out to fit the form of a thirty minute OVA, and it really showed.
The lack of source material was compensated for with several original shots, many of which focus on Alpha's figure. I get the notion that (although I have no knowledge of the original OST's commercial success) the studio saw a seemingly dull, conflictless OVA sell, and assumed that it sold because of its characters sex appeal.
I've heard some people complain about the music, but I like it for the most part. There is a certain scene when a song playing from the radio seems too loud, and it took me out of the experience.
This certainly wasn't horrible, and I wouldn't say it was a waste of time to watch. It is still calming and easy on the ears. The second episode is definitely less slow than the first. I would strongly recommend reading the manga before watching these.
