THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

Ahhh I love 80's anime...

Some confusion as to why the main chick knew who Deimos was... poss cuz he's tried to take her before and/or she's the reincarnation of his lover.

Either way, I wish there were more episodes. Sounds like some good arc's would have come of this.

Yeah, looks very interesting. I hope BlueFixer's release will interest some manga scanlators.

It's an interesting piece of work, indeed. At least, Americans had a partial edition of the manga. It never hit my soil...

Do you know Charles Baudelaire, the pioneer of morbid romanticism ? His poems can definitely be juxtaposed to DNH's intention. Old-school shoujo were all like that, with a ladleful of sadism behind protagonists relationship.

The core of this work's interest (OAV or mangas) is definitely dialogues, full of gloomy insights. Art and the rest hasn't particularly well aged, but its message still remains timeless. I would probably like a lot to learn out that there's a scanlation from Ashibe Yuho and Ikeda Etsuko's manga somewhere.

Whoo! This was pretty cool!

Animation don't even bother me, yet added charm to this story :)

Story seems to be quite interesting,
I wanted to check out manga,
but looks only 10 chapters are out ;(
So... I think I will resigns...

Anyway... Great OVA!
Wish this was full series *.*
Want watch more series/ova/movies like this one!

The description on MAL confused me so much, because when I started watching it, I thought I was watching something else entirely. I think the description on MAL is for the manga, and not this OVA per se?

But, I enjoyed the OVA, it was mysterious and I would've loved to see more of it.

It was a pretty common "supernatural" case set in a less common situation (a fallen god as a guardian angel because he desires the heroine's body)

Interesting enough to check the manga, pretty and decent for an OAV.

Enjoyment: 4/5
Score: 6/10

It's not a bad OVA but it has some flaws.
Regarding the main story, almost nothing is resolve. That's not the OVA's fault since it only has one episode, but it's quite unsatisfactory.

However, what bothered me more were all the plot contrivance. They left Minako's friend's notebook in plain sight near the entrance. The incinerator can destroy entire bodies but cannot burn the inspector's leather badge.

And worst of all, the sister coming back after years and the collar ring still being there after years AND her randomly seeing it and asking "I wonder who fell for it" and the villain not having realized before who did it. It's just frankly ridiculous and the fact she had "Oh by the way, I haven't told anyone I'm there" is just the chery on top of a ridiculous scene.

All in all, it's still decent but kinda annoying.

simple but direct, with a tragic story that ends as it should end, without embellishments and useless preambles!!!

A decent OVA, too bad it's short, they could've at least showed how does Minako knows Deimos, the brother and sister backstory is sad,
I'll give it a 7, it had a nice mysterious aura to it.

Pretty good. The art style was really nice.

This starts as one story (which is the overarching plot of the manga, from what I can tell), but then this OVA becomes the story of a totally different mystery. It feels really jarring, and that mystery wasn't, like, super interesting. It wasn't that bad either, but this just doesn't really work that well. Cool visuals and cool musick at times, but I wish there was more.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
