Seems like Ufotable, some group I didn't bother to look up, is releasing a four-part OVA starting on June 8th. A few shots of the upcoming OVA are in the link above.


I don't know about this, although the art direction in the pictures look pretty neat. Thoughts anyone?

*revives topic* ... DER. @_O

The second episode is supposed to come out sometime this month, or has it already come out?

That being said, I'll ramble on about the first episode...


I'm worried about the pacing. The first episode ended with Lloyd leaving Iselia. HUH?! I mean, I dunno... That's barely any of the game, and that filled up one out of four episodes. If not enough things get cut out then, well... Okay, my worry about the pacing is that, what if the story gets condensed so that the Tethe'alla characters are cut out? Sure, Regal and Presea weren't vital to the main story, they just supported it, but... Zelos, being Tethe'alla's chosen and all, and Sheena, being, well... the summoner seem extremely important. ._.

And Dirk I thought looked, well... Like this crazy monster. Not like Dirk at all. Cwazy muscles. o_O;
... I almost did laugh when he went against Forcystus with a hammer. Then I got frustrated because it wasn't like that in the game at all, of course. o.o;

However, that's not to say I didn't like everything in the first episode. For starters, there was KratosI DON'T KNOW JAPANESE BUT I LIKE TO PRETEND I DO!. Isn't that enough to make the OVA awesome? xP

I had mixed feelings on Lloyd's tech attacks. At least there were tech attacks (since Cless didn't have any AT ALL in ToP's OVA) but... I dunno. While I thought it was good that there was an emphasis placed on pointing out that Lloyd got power from his exsphere, I thought it was... overly exaggerated?
