Well here it is folks, 'another' Another episode (no pun intended). From the series that gave us a reason to enjoy Mondays comes forth this OVA bundled with the 0th limited-edition volume of Kiyohara Hiro's manga adaptation of Ayatsuji Yukito's horror novel Another.

Now, you're probably expecting a lot of bloodshed and mind twists right? That would be most of the cases for us die-hard fans into the mystery, thriller, and horror theme that the original series bought us.

However, in this OVA, we see a more brighter side of Mei Misaki and her "other half". Talk about a splitting image.

We also get to see a bit ... more about her past as well as her "other half". But you're still probably asking yourself "should I watch this even if I've seen the original series?" Let me answer that with a 7-letter word:

Depends.

Why? Because this is a mini-prequel. In other words, this is not what happens after the series or an anime that will throw bloodshed at your screen every 5 minutes. (well, there was one thrown in).

The OP song remains the same and as for the music, it's a bit calm but still retains that darkening mood. The art remains beautiful just like the original series with some added bonus fan-service like a cherry on top. ~desu

As for the characters, there are only two. Yes, it's the ones you see in the promo poster. What did you expect? I told you this is a prequel OVA, not the entire series. It is however quite interesting to see the relationship of Mei and her other half bond as well as her more energetic, cute, outer self.

This is perhaps the trailer for what some fans may expect before the calm of the storm if you decide to watch it first rather than the original series. And that calm will soon turn into calamity as disaster strikes into the heart of Yomiyama.

So, all in all, this OVA is entertaining but not something I'll remember by for a long time; at least not like the death of you-know-who in the original series or that Nice Boat episode when the class went to the beach. But, is this OVA worth your time watching?

Well, that's for me to know and you to find out.

This is a Recap for Akame ga Kill! fans who want to feel nostalgic or re-watching the show again but not all episodes.
Story: Night Raid is the covert assassination branch of the Revolutionary Army, an uprising assembled to overthrow Prime Minister Honest, whose avarice and greed for power has lead him to take take advantage of the child emperor's inexperience. Without a strong and benevolent leader, the rest of the nation is left to drown in poverty, strife, and ruin. Though the Night Raid members are all experienced killers, they understand that taking lives is far from commendable and that they will likely face retribution ... as they mercilessly eliminate anyone who stands in the revolution's way. Akame ga Kill! follows Tatsumi as he fights the Empire and comes face-to-face with powerful weapons, enemy assassins, challenges to his own morals and values, and ultimately, what it truly means to be an assassin with a cause. It's a pretty good story , no comment but things turn to unfortunate..for those who don't read the manga i recommend it , it's more good than the anime and different.
Art: Good,no comment.
Characters: Akame is a girl with a very unfortunate past , forced to leave the empire when she seen the truth behind it . Tatsumi haved expectation about how good will be when he joins in the empire and see their friends but a very dark future waits him. In fact every member of night raid has a very unfortunate situation.
Enjoyment: I give it a 7,i loved the series so i do with this recap.
