I don't usually review shows here on My Anime List.. but I'll make an exception for Nozoki Ana. The thing is... I'm INCREDIBLY pissed off at this OVA, to a degree only people that actually went trought the whole manga can imagine. This OVA makes Nozoki Ana seems a simple "soft-hentai show" while in reality... it's so much more than that.

In the rating of the show i gave 6 to every single aspect of it because well.. the characters are the ones in the manga, the story is the one in the manga, etc... the problem tho is this: Nozoki Ana, in manga form, is ... one of the few mangas i really consider to be a "masterpiece". It becomes incredibly dark, it has heavy (and i mean H E A V Y ) drama and it's romance puts to shame a lot of other "pure-romance" show out there.

This OVA tho... it only takes the beginning of the story, focus a lot on the sexual part of it and... it ends before you can even have a little glimps at what the story will actually become after that.

I'm positive whoever watched this without actually knowing about hos good the manga it will categorize Nozoki Ana as something "ecchi" worth the watch only for the sex part and nothing more... and that is why I'm pissed off at this, because I'm sure this will make people think Nozoki Ana is something not worth going into and will probably make the manga lose quite a lot of chances.

So know this: don't watch the anime, go DIRECTLY for the manga, you will find a masterpiece that will literally tear your heart and soul apart from time time... i know mine actually did skip a beat... expecially in the 116 chapter.
