Shin Megami Tensei: Tokyo Mokushiroku

Rate a 7
English Dubbed

Story
Introduction was good. Had a similar flair as to one of the final destination movies. As for conclusion mixed feelings. On one had the way the story was present the conclusion really did a good job at making one connect emotionally. That sacrifice will stay with me for awhile. Although, they over did it by repeating their closer over and over and over again.

Art
No complaints. Characters looked good.

Sound
... no complaints

Character
Above the normal for most characters involved, moderate.

Enjoyment
Best viewed if you felt wronged in your life. A real life lesson on what can go wrong and how it is never to late change it back.

Although the OVA aren't related to the games released at the time, they still hold the themes of the games (cults, demons, etc). The story itself was not the greatest, although it felt decent enough to follow. The characters were decent enough to move along. Art & Sound were decent for the time (dub).

I believe that without knowing the origins of the Shin Megami Tensei story, many people may be thrown off by this OVA. For anyone coming in blind, I would recommend to read up prior to learn some history to understand more than what is being shown.
These episodes feel more of ... a little treat for the hardcore SMT fans who enjoy the games.

tl;dr: Play the games, then watch the OVA

I have memories from watching this late at years about, it almost threw me off watching anime altogether. That's how bad it was. Thankfully Spriggan came on after that, it cleared away my desire to throw up at least.

I admit, this is an impression from watching it more then half a dozen years ago...but I have no intention of watching this again just to confirm that impression.
