It was fine as a stand alone series, not too complex which is what you shoud really get from a plot like this, but the length was sensible and it did have what most would call an end? We have the female leads two frineds - a promiscuous, overall stylish 'pretty' girl and a chubby, introvert girl with no particular styling in clothes, hair or facial features and no particular body shape - ofcourse they aren't going to be admirable or acheive anthing!įine, nothing spectacular, but nothing wrong scenery wise - the character design is lovely however everyone looks different and fairly realistic. Her sidekick is a good looking, young (about her age) video photographer who has all the action recorded and is very interested - in a constructive way, in uncovering what is going on - he has a bit in common with the leading female and seems to have a crush on her. She doesn't get too scared or show a single hint of selfishness or hesitation when it would be perfectly natural to do so either. She always wants the best possible outcome, such as hoping officials will come out with a cure for the many infected, highly dangerous strangers roaming the streets, in favour of killing them. We have a pretty leading female who's 'sensible' persona arguabely borders on Mary Sue - she's the friendly mediator type everyones friend who makes friends easily, yet she'll also do all in her power to protect those around her, she'll even speak for the unfortunate who don't have a voice. This is the immaturity^, now, for the cliche's.Ī typical case of possotive and negitive accossiation. "The train the two mains are on has just crashed out of the blue, all on it look either dead or unconcious - why are the two 'mains' allowed to climb out, unscratched and unshaken before walking down an underground tunnel which I'm sure lacks oxygen, whilst maintaing energy to spare?"īasically, the plot bends to the will of the famale lead - she's the main character and a decent person, so why shouldn't 'the unlikely' simply open it's door for her whenever she stops by? 'If paracite monsters are killing and infecting people threwout a mulitude of area's, why are plains still opporating and sending people into the 'eye of the storm'?" "The body count is massive, yet the main gets attacked often and is never phased - why is this?" This story leaves the more observant viewer asking a few questions, such as. On her journey, she comes across a guy who is of much help and has somewhat of a similar backstory to hers (rocked by a certian loss). We have a pretty female lead, on hoilday with her 'less likable' friends.Īn obscure terror shows up and this girl must now leave her friends behind and 'leap into action' (she's no action girl, this is all suppose to be quite realistic) upon coming to the accurate conclusion that her boyfriend is in need of a hero. Now - I will forget all about he manga and treat this OVA as a stand alone story. She's on a hoilday with her friends - she is made aware of this horror, takes it in her stride, goes to 'rescue' her boyfriendwho's in trouble, whilst not knowing hat's going on and not really having a clue erazing the formality that existed beforehand - along the way, she meets a pretty guy around her age who, like her, as a tragic backstory that has allowed him to be driven.īasically, we have a role reversal that allows us to follow the 'hot girl' instead of the 'in the know guy' and the disease has been pushed on to lesser characters the conveinent and 'more deserving'. In this OVA, we have his girlfriend as the leading character - and isn't she an angel. After acting in an arguablely unreasonable and paranoid manner - the girl soon becomes ill, her boyfriend, who is somewhat in the loop when it comes to science and has sceintific connections, works hard to find answers to this mystery whilst avioding constant peril and virtual isolation - it's a true horror story. Highly curious this 'horror' tourments them wherever they go - true harrassment via an unlikely offender. Originally, a young couple are at sea, when they see something easier to follow) and conform to idealism by throwing in some well known cliche's - newbie's and the more impressionable viewers will eat this all up!" "How can I make this fairly well known story that bit more popular? I know! I'll make it a lot less mature (i.e. If you read the manga and like me, were looking forward to this adaptation - prepare for a dissapointment, that is, if you bother to watch this.īasically, someone has taken this story and though.
