I have a bad impression after watch 1st episode. why? because Yuki's seiyuu was clearly sound like female (and she really is female). I don't judge the seiyuu was bad, she's good, but how can I imagine Yuki as male if his voice is female? well, this anime was quite old too, so there's nothing to do with it. and I keep watching this anime (with imagine Yuki as female who cross-dressing and pretend nothing happened between them except friendship).
one by one episode ended, and I know one thing = it's just to reveal what zodiac and who possesed it. nothing else. how boring (since ... I expecting more than that). well, this anime will become my 'not favorite' list. but once again, it was quie old anime, so there's nothing to do with it.

just watched this anime (already finished the manga), and i'm kinda disappointed because the Kei's voice in here wasn't like in my imagination (if I should give an example, then maybe like Kyouya Otori - Ouran host club). for Hikari, well I prefer Nana Mizuki's voice, but Yuuko is good too so I don't mind it.
first impression = the legs and hands is so long! I know in manga it's like that too, but I hope they will make it more 'rational' in the anime. but well, since this anime was produce 10 years ago, I can't complain about it, though.
because this anime made ... when the manga still ongoing, so the ending was... hang up...

You know, I was waiting so long to watch season 3 of Kamisama Hajimemashita, till I forget about this anime. I thought season 3 will be like previous season, with 13 episodes, but it's not. After I watch this OVA (it supposed to be season 3), I am disappointed. It skipped so many chapter in the original story. I thought maybe this OVA just animated the ending of the manga, or something like that.
Nothing special in this OVA (the important ceremony to turn Tomoe into human was not showed).
If you like Kamisama Hajimemashita and already watch till Kako-hen, you should read the manga first till ... end, and then watch this OVA, or your expectation will ruined.

I wrote this review after watched all episodes, and spend few days to re-watch this anime.

The lipsync from chara and voice actor was awful (they didn't match very often, even when they sing). Glad when see Koyuki's voice match with picture - better than others.
The good thing is, musics from this anime was awesome, so I have all of it.

I hope will hear when Yuu singing, because - you know in the manga he is singing, right. But he didn't, so it was bad thing.

I like Koyuki chara instead of Fuuka in this anime, don't know why.

The art was... like the manga, but often I ... feel it didn't as smooth as other anime.

I'm not expecting the second season.

Art :
Arina sensei sure have a good talent on drawing manga. I read Sakura hime kaden too (well, not finished because publisher in my country dropped the series) and I like it a lot. but not in Shinshi doumei cross. first book, I have to re-read it to remember the character (every chara look same!). I can't tell the different of Ushio and Haine when they close up. well, mailman and the strahl too (but I can look the different from the hat and hair when reading chapter 2).
Arina sensei drawing is good, but it's tiring reading this manga because almost of page is full ... (with flowers and unnecessary things).

Story :
I just read 2 title manga from Arina sensei, and I prefer the tale-type than high school type like shinshi. but the main story is unusual, it fresh and I mean it's good.

Characters :
Arina sensei's heroine usually one type : cheerful, dark past, already love the hero. but in shinshi, more chara in love with same sex type. I... don't like it. I still prefer cross dressing, but not with love in it.

Enjoyable :
the manga have 59 chapters, and my eyes is tired reading it. like I said before, the flowers and the details it's too much. it's good for the cover, but not in the manga.

Overall :
I hope Shinshi Doumei Cross is color manga, so I can enjoy the details (LoL). The story is good, art is good, and if I throw the fact that my eyes can't stand too much detail, it's very good manga.

I hope Arina sensei can improve the chara draw so they all don't look same.
