Idk what to say. I liked the concepts and art, the story was interesting enough. However, overall its aged pretty poorly. I would almost say this is maybe one of the few anime that would benefit with a remake like with Devil Man Crybaby. Cause the art an music is solid, it just needs to be redone an maybe re-casted. (Far as the dub goes at least.)
Also, although the story was good the characters themselves were not. Like a lot of anime from back then. They expected you to know everything about the characters. Just cause the world is ending an without any real

explanation. Issue with that is, it makes everything you do or say anticlimactic and hollow. There is only expectation and no investment. Specifically with this, the characters came off as too whiny or too uncaring to make as quick of a 180 as a lot of them do. Which I get it, its only 4 episodes of an ova, but come on. Idk, it could use a remake, extend it to 11-13 episodes. Give the characters actual backgrounds and not just exposition. Give us a reason to actually care whether they live or die in this post apocalyptical Water World.
With the right Character development an balance and more in general of the story itself. Not to mention flash backs to why we should care what these characters went through. That is kind of the thing, there is no time to actually care about what happens to any of the characters. They also fail at making you sympathize with the opposing side as well. Which was kind of the whole point of all of it. The concept itself is not so much dark an sad as it is just plain awkward. Something many anime of that time suffered from.
