PLOT: Oh were to start! I have absolutely no idea what this mess was about – something about a future world where all the men have died out for some unexplained reason (although they do go on at length about how it was all their own fault!), and were the surviving women have split into two factions – those who have turned to science to find a way to repopulate the earth, and those who have given up and just want to live the rest of their lives in peace and happiness. For some reason there is a fully functioning military, even though the women keep waxing lyrical about how killing and violence is wrong and male! So anyway that’s the setting, but then you have the random yuri star-crossed lovers thing (that gets next to no development), the whole ICE thing (I won't even attempt to explain that), a random interlude where birds turn into flowers and back into birds again…….and then the scene were they killed a baby…..It's all very disjointed and completely random – the characters have no depth and I don’t even know what the whole end was about (was it a dream? another world? I sure as heck don’t know!). So yeah, not much to love about the ‘plot’.
ANIMATION: The animation is actually fairly decent, or so I would have said if this was a 90s OVA. However ICE was made in 2007. Yeah. Could someone explain the extremely dated character designs and costume designs to me!? The whole thing seems to be stuck in a timewarp! I did like the set designs though.
MUSIC & VOICE ACTING: Didn’t notice the music much. The voice acting is a very mixed bag, some of the seiyuu are good, most are rubbish. The one that threw me most though was Akira Ishida voicing Julia…….yes Gaara / Athrun Zala voicing a tall blonde woman; very weird.
All in all a piss poor OVA, full of pretentious dialogue and a very confusing plot – avoid.
