Koi☆Sento

This is a quick fix if you want to see a small romance story. But it's fairly accomplished.

Story:
What you'd expect from a 25 minute story. There's barely any time to create a setting.
You see a boy on a school trip, and that's your lead male. You see a girl of questionable origins and that's your lead female. And of course, a way (no matter how randomly made) for them to meet.

Art:
It's probably the most unusual thing about this show. Every single thing (except for some backgrounds and details) is animated with 3D models. Every character (which is kind of cheating the animation process IMO).
This results ... in some strange facial expressions (mouth especially). And a few weird movements, but only for those with seriously honed observation skills.

Sound:
The sound was perfectly fit. As for soundtrack. It's just there.

Character:
Nothing special. It's a boy meets girl while girl meets world thing. Frequent anime viewers won't see anything new.

Enjoyment:
It felt better than when described by my words above. If you like romance and don't need much of a reason to see one happen, you won't feel these 25 mins were for naught.

Overall:
I rate it 7 for the quick fix of romance I occasionally need. Now I can get back to the serious stuff.

I think the story was pretty ok but it kinda went much to fast. They also started in the middle of nowhere so you don't undertsand that much at first too.

The art was not realy my type, too much 3D like and the faces were kinda weird.

The sound was not special. The songs were kinda lame.

They didnt say anything about the Characters. This was one of the things that made it really bad. Since it only was an ova, they couldnt have talked about the characters anyway.

But still, i did actually enjoy it. (a bit)

Overall Impression: A short (25 minutes, give or take) full CGI film about a boy meeting and falling in love with an escaped android, whose handlers will do anything to get her back. The CGI is not as bad as you'd think, but there isn't much here that's worth going out of your way for. This could have been more compelling as a full series, but there isn't much time to get to know or care about the characters with so much content crammed into the length of one episode of TV anime.

+ Positives: The CGI here actually looks pretty decent at times. There are ... some parts where it doesn't of course, but it benefits from how the entire thing is in CGI instead of poorly-integrated CGI elements clashing with a traditional hand-drawn 2D aesthetic. The facial expressions are more emotive than I typically expect from CGI as well. Some of the action, in particular the mech showdown in the Buddhist temple (there is A LOT going on in this short film), would have been impractical for a project of this scope without CGI, and some of it even looks pretty good. The pacing is brisk (almost TOO brisk, arguably) and it gives you enough of a resolution to be called a complete story, so it rarely gets boring.

- Negatives: Threadbare love story between Shinichi and Toto that feels like it skips several steps to get to its conclusion in the allotted time. Almost like a speedrun of a Makoto Shinkai film in its heavy-handed use of romcom cliches and implied supernatural tragedy, even though it came out several years before most of his best-known works. CGI character models look odd when viewed in profile instead of straight-on. Muddled setting that allegedly takes place several centuries in the future, but is just modern Japan with robots and holograms for all intents and purposes. Overly tidy and optimistic ending that robs some tragic scenes of their impact. Very rushed overall, there's enough here that it could have been made into a full series of Shinichi and Toto going on adventures while evading Toto's handlers, but most of the promising elements for the future get cut off by the need to wrap it up in 25 minutes.
