The story line to Dallos is well rounded. You have a love story, a story of jealousy, a story of neglect and a story of revolution. With all these avenues working in harmony, which I commend as well done, I felt that by the time we reach the end, I'm left wanting more. While I understand that this OVA was really the emotional journey of one man, it builds a world with rich depth that is begging to be explored. If you like Star Wars, you'll find a lot of similarity to the general premise of Dallos.
Art is about average. There really isn't anything to note. At times it can feel a bit awkward animation wise, but those moments are few and far in between. Similarly with sound, if it were without the great score, the sound would be average. I don't think the voicing is particularly spectacular although it does have it's moments. The score is what sets the sound high. In my opinion, the score is on par with many other forms of media, including Hollywood productions. It does feel dated, making use of synths, but more than perfect for it's time period.
Character quality is just okay. We really only see development in Rachel and Shun. While some of the other characters might undergo development, it's hard to say for sure, as we'd need more episodes to confirm any growth.
Overall, Dallos is enjoyable to watch, but I feel it's short run and lack of additional stories, hurts the series overall as the world is rich with possibilities.
