Synopsis

Covered in ice and snow, Elior Forest is the home to dangerous magical beasts and 50 elves frozen in ice. One day, the great spirit Puck helps a young girl break out of her ice prison. Her name is Emilia, a half-elf born with silver hair, long ears, and amethyst eyes—features that resemble the evil Witch who destroyed half the world long ago.

Shunned by society because of her appearance, Emilia dwells in the forest with Puck as her sole companion and family. Burdened with a sin of destruction she does not remember committing, she spends her days trying to find a way to help her frozen kin. But when the great spirit Melakuera, the Arbitrator of the world, finds Emilia, her right to stay alive is brought into question. Will the bonds of ice she formed with Puck prove to be the warm thread that defies fate?

Emilia-tan Maji Tenshi
-Natsuki Subaru (2016)

Story 10/10

The OVA shows Emilia's past with Puck. It showed how Emilia was treated by villagers and how SHE treated them in return. It also showed her daily life, how she earned her livelihood before she was selected as a candidate for Lugunica's queen, her relationship with Puck, her first meeting with Puck, a little about Elior forest (her home), her powers, etc. There are also some decent (but short) fighting scenes involving Emilia and Puck plus some badass Emilia scenes in which she gets really angry. And after the credits, we have a lovely Emilia and Subaru interaction to lighten ...

Mixed Feelings
Like another review mentioned, this is 40-50 minutes longer than it should be. They tried to turn a short OVA into a movie. Even if properly edited and paced, very little is actually revealed or actually transpires. You learn that Puck is protecting Emilia from a fire spirit and the two form a contract to fight it, win against this self-proclaimed arbiter, and then profess their love for each other and intentions to leave the forest. There is very little substance otherwise. The dialogue is repetitive, vague, meandering, and abstract. There is very little revelation about Emilia's past, how she actually met Puck, or why ...

Review in brief:

The Frozen Bond struggles and ultimately fails to be anything more than unnecessary padding between two seasons of Re:Zero. Stretched out beyond any reasonable purpose and full of incomplete story elements, it does a better job of highlighting the problems some people have with Re:Zero than the enjoyable aspects that others would have surely hoped for here.

Review in full:

As a small part of a large story, Re:Zero was bound to leave a lot of questions open after its first season. This was something which ended up being a considerable problem for many viewers who would rather not wait multiple cours to ...
