We all know that ikkitousen are not exactly the anime that you watch because of the story lets be honest, but still the themes that the anime have are no doubtly interesting if you like the story about the warriors of ancient China.
But the problem is, the plot here is sliced as much as they could, as i had said ikkitousen does not have that much of complex plot, and they cut even more to fit this ova format, and all this to have a such open ending that really leaves you hanging....really hope for a sequel but what was cut will be hard to recover.
About the new characters they were a decent addiction to the plot and they could be good side characters if they had more time/development but well.....they took a hard decision at the end, it was understandable but i still don't think it was a good decision if you ask me.
Animation wise its as others had said, probably the best ikkitousen had until now, but well in a 3-ova format is what you should expect i think, but still good.
About the sound it is the same for me as it was for the other ovas like western wolves, not bad but not great too.
Its a shame that we don't have another TV series, there were enough material for it, the end would still be open but it would make way more sense without the cut material, but well, its still ikkitousen so it was somewhat fun.
