Watching this OVA was a very strange experience, the idea is very simple and repetitive, there is nothing different about it.

I suppose that due to its length there is not much development of the story or the characters, because throughout the plot they are all boring with nothing interesting to highlight.

I didn't understand what the point was of making the protagonist an adult film actress and spreading the rumor about that, personally I think it didn't influence anything, it would have been the same if she had some other profession.

I do not recommend this story, personally I was very bored and I did not find ... any sense in it.

Of all the OVAs produced by SHUEISHA in this group, I think this one is the most normal and understandable. Even though the story feels somewhat rushed, it can still be understood without any problem.

While there are several things that lack explanation, the story develops well and explains the background of some problems related to the protagonist. Although it doesn't properly explain how the relationship between the two protagonists develops, it fails to establish a connection with the viewer.

In general, it didn't seem bad to me. I would recommend it if you have nothing else to do and are feeling completely bored.

I don't know if I didn't pay enough attention watching this, but I didn't understand anything of what was happening, there is almost no context for the situations that occur in the story.

At first I thought it was a story about three thieves or swindlers, I thought it would be exciting, but no, everything starts with conflict without any context, a thief who steals, but there is no context as to why he does it, an enemy also appears out of the blue and there’s no explanation about him or what the conflict he has with the three protagonists is, there is absolutely no context ... for anything, it is difficult to understand what is happening.

I don't know how to feel about the characters, I didn't understand the strange relationship that existed between them, however I really like the aesthetics and the scenery.

The first half of this OVA was fine for me, although the story is a little rushed and makes no sense.

I really liked the concept of fashion and how a relationship between the MCs was developing little by little, I thought it was very cute.

When it is revealed that the protagonist is a minor and that she was actually lying, everything that comes after that is too weird, personally it was a little awkward. I do not recommend this OVA, it was very strange and made no sense, plus it touches on a very delicate topic, I did not like the conclusion at ... all, it was supposed to be romantic I guess, but for me it was disgusting.

I am a big fan of the animation style that these OVAs from the 80s and 90s have, and that is why I like to torture myself by watching this type of story.

'Pops' is a 25-minute story that is not organized properly; literally, everything happens, and sometimes it is not possible to understand what is happening, which makes the story confusing.

This is supposed to be a school love story, but all I saw was a girl without self-esteem who is dragged by the feelings of a playboy. On the other hand, a boy who has not been able to forget his ex-girlfriend, or whatever the ... type of relationship he had with his teacher was. The boy literally abandons her to go look for his old love, and yet she later looks for him until she finds him, and I guess they got back together. It was normal in the OVAs of those years that women were portrayed as so stupid and had no dignity, I guess.

I didn't enjoy this story at all, and I'm not even sure if I understood the first part. I don't recommend it.

This is not a typical love story, although in the end it does become a very cliché one it keeps being weird.

The protagonist of this story, Saki, is a girl who is deeply in love with her sister's boyfriend. From here the story is a little strange for me because that situation is too uncomfortable. Saki, however, wants to do everything possible to forget that love, but everything becomes complicated when she starts classes at the same university as him. So far everything seems like a normal story, but in the end without any context her sister tells her that she ended the relationship ... with her boyfriend and then Saki starts dating him, personally I find that conclusion very ridiculous and weird, I didn't like it at all.

On the other hand, I want to highlight the animation and aesthetics of this OVA, I really liked the environments, the details in everyone's designs, they made the ridiculous plot more bearable.

I do not recommend this OVA unless you enjoy the “taboo”love stories.

The first thing to keep in mind before watching this OVA is that it is a silent film, it only has dialogue cards, personally it was not a problem for me and it did not stop me from enjoying the plot.

The story is not very complex, but it is not a typical love story. Mariko, the main character, is in a complicated moment, trying to get out of a toxic relationship in which she suffered abuse from her partner. She meets Natsume with whom she has great chemistry and a nice relationship begins to be forged between them, until she discovers that he is a ... Gigolo, however in the end she overlooks all those things and decides to continue with him, my girl jumped from one toxic relationship to another.

Regarding the design of the characters, I think it was what I liked the most, it looked very tender and cute, the animation was very detailed for its time and accompanied by good music, I really enjoyed how the music fit with each situation that was shown in the history.

Personally I enjoyed the story even if it was toxic, but I guess for the time in which it was made it's okay.

I really don't understand the other references about this movie, in my opinion it didn't seem like a bad story, in some way it was a fun and interesting story to spend the time.
I really liked the design of the characters, the scenery, the animation and especially the music. I didn't know that this movie was made to promote a band, however I think it wasn't bad, they knew how to develop a simple, unfunny, but not boring story, so that's why my score isn't so low.
Don't expect to see character development in a one hour promotional story, it's a simple and goofy ... story and it's okay to watch if you have nothing to do and want to listen to good music.

I decided to watch this anime because of the good references it has, I had very high expectations, I won't deny it, but no matter how much I tried to find something interesting in it, I couldn't.
I knew beforehand that the anime was somewhat confusing, that it had a lot of symbolism and also something metaphorical, from my point of view they did not know how to take advantage of these resources appropriately.
The story develops in a flat and unfunny way, the ending did not surprise me, I think it was somewhat predictable. In my opinion it would have been better if in ... the end the reality was that Lain was admitted to a psychiatric hospital about to receive a lobotomy, I think it would have been the ideal ending for me, but no, instead of that she was the “I’m a concept” girl.
I guess it's not my type of story, I didn't like any of the characters, I didn't like the development they had, which was very little in my opinion. Personally I don't recommend it, but I suppose there are people who will like this type of stories so go for it.

In my perspective, this anime lacks coherence and fails to establish a strong narrative foundation. To begin with, the story stats with a seemingly random scene that bears no relevance to the subsequent chapters. The characters are unengaging, with an absence of substantial context regarding their identities, occupations, or the underlying motivations of the antagonists and protagonists. This results in a perplexing viewing experience. Personally, I found no enjoyment in this anime at any point, and I am uncertain how I managed to endure it in its entirety. Each episode appears disjointed, resembling disparate tales that fail to interconnect logically.

One noteworthy aspect worth mentioning is ... the character design, particularly that of the antagonist who bears a striking resemblance to a twink vampire. However, this singular positive attribute does not redeem the overall lackluster quality of the OVA. I would refrain from recommending this anime unless someone wants to waste their time.
