The strong points of the OVA were its writing and execution of the surprise ending, but the large cast of characters resulted in poor development of secondary characters. The visuals from the original release do not hold up when compared to newer works in the 2007 review because of the increasing industry standards.
The OVA's strengths resided in its narrative and the surprising conclusion, but the multitude of characters limited the growth of supporting characters. The visual presentation from the initial release is less impressive when compared to contemporary works due to elevated industry expectations.
