Yeah I have to agree, I was hoping to like this one better, but I had no idea who most of the characters were or their purpose. Didn't hate it, it was just "okay".

Meh, so-so overall. Everything feels rushed somehow :/ Lack of effort it seems.

Found blurry subs, but that's the worst audio compression I've heard in a long time.
Unusual wacky story, ok music. Bad va & art.

Oh my, this was bad. The story was so bland that I could in a fraction of a second fall asleep if I so desired to.

If not for Retro Crush streaming this, I likely wouldn't have known this existed.

But like everyone else has commented, this is quite bad. Plot's rushed and the characters are too paper-thin to give a hoot about. Under the impression this is promotional material for whatever bishoujo VN it was based off of during its time.

I kind of regret working on this, but I had to take it as challenge to prove my worthiness as a quality control guy to one of the board trustees of my team. It is indeed a proto-modern OAV with not much meat to it, featuring vanilla template characters. Even the players of the eroge probably didn't think much of it given how it's SFW. It probably would have been better off as a quirky hentai to target its core audience and promote the game...


You can watch it there with my reworked subtitles, as I updated the ones Animeforce made back in 2004. Just click on CC to enable the English captions.

Why it feels like they just started the story from in between.
I mean we didn't even get the proper reason why glasses guy left the team and then he joined, we don't even know what convinced him, lol
It was Bad, 4/10

By the way, I watched it in english subtitle!

This didn't do much for me. There was some funny moments. There were some awful panty shots of teenagers. There were some really strange sequences with crazy gadgets and stuff. The characters were barely introduced, and the plot was paper thin. Musick was good. Visuals were fine. Not too great.

I agree with everyone about the story and characters not been developed and that they crammed everything in a 25min episode, but somehow while watching the OVA I felt relaxed like watching an Iyashikei anime (maybe because of the the art-style or the background) so surprisingly I really enjoyed it and for that I'll give it an 8, probably the best score this OVA ever had.
