----------------------------------------
Dark fantasy and horror generally makes a pretty good combination, and this little OVA had some nice ideas going for it. Would have made a good first episode for a series, but as a standalone it really just sets the stage for a larger confrontation that will never materialize.

The whole time watching this I thought the character designs looked really familiar, turns out they were done by same guy who designed characters for Project A-ko and Nuku Nuku, two of my favorite scifi comedies!

This was pretty cool. The characters were quite interesting, but due to the OVA only being 30 minutes, we don't learn a whole lot about them.

This would've been even better if it were longer.

The story was very interesting and I like the action. It felt like a first episode to a series that never got kick off. This anime is very obscure as I can't find any wikipedia pages for it and Anime News Network hardly has any articles for it.

Damn, I wanted to learn more about the Heroine & MC past and the other world characters. It is a shame that most of these old OVA are incomplete... a shame indeed...

This is was a pretty good looking animation. Yama is a good mix of 1980s cute and cool. The demons are pretty good looking, especially the 'boss' gold guy. The harpies kind of give it a kind of Shin Megami Tensei feel.

One episode is pretty short for OVA standards, suggesting this didn't sell well. But I'm not sure why not. I expected a trainwreck,but it's nicely animated and storytelling is mostly competent as far as I can tell.

I wonder why this never got more episodes.

This had an interesting premise, too bad it is rushed. Because the concept is great.

It's not too bad but there are many plots threads set up and never answered.
Also the final fight was pretty lame with the cool skeleton monster being beaten faster than the weird snail monster earlier.

Still not bad per say but nothing impressive either.

This is rated R+ because of bird tits?

This could've easily been expanded as a full series. Aw shucks, Was worthwhile.

This was pretty good. I agree with everyone else that this was too short. It felt rushed and would've worked better as a 60-80 minute movie. Still good though. The nautilus monster girl was pretty neat.

Loved the aesthetics, but the plot was affected by to the short duration.

Well those 30 min were one hell of a wild fever dream. It got so insane from one moment to the next the whole world and storyline ended up growing on me. Would love a fleshed out series with this same janky pace and chaotic craziness from start to finish.

It gave off such strong Devilman vibes mixed with a bit of Yu Yu Hakusho.
I kept getting distracted by how much the principal's daughter (the headmistress?) looked like a grown-up Nabiki Tendo. Her scheming ways even matched Nabiki's personality if Nabiki turned to the dark side for personal gain!

I think it was great. I think it's okay that we don't get to know the characters very well because it's a Ova. I love the dark aesthetic of older anime. The main character is pretty cool too. I don't think it deserved such a low score. It could have gotten at least a 7.
