How come was I able to watch the second episode? It's the question that comes to mind when I think about what to write in this review.
While it is obvious from the overwhelming number of characters that this OVA is based on a dating game, I believe the first rule of short stories is to CUT DOWN the number of characters if you want to give them any chance of having some screen time. Yes, they are esthetically pleasing to the eye (as any bishounen should be), but the mix-match of styles and colors is simply dizzying to the point of making my eyes puke.
The writers also suffered from the blank-sheet syndrome, because they obviously didn't know what to write for this dozen or so Guardians and bishounen-wannabes hanging out around the childish queens. They always speak in turns mentioning the obvious (having waited for their screen time of course), and you realize in the first 30 seconds that this whole OVA is just going to be made up of stupid conversations.
Maybe it is more understandable where the story is going for people who have played the game, but it's another basic rule to make it clear to the viewers what the hell is going on, just so we know where we are going. Unknown threats that remain unexplained, why the hell there are different cosmos with queens and guardians, who is Angelique and how come she's there.... That kind of information would be appreciated.
A sound world would be nice too. Call it taste or logic, but to me people who use laptops to calculate the gradiant of the magnetic field between colliding parallel universes shouldn't need to dress up with armors and swords, use magic to defend helpless and hopeless girls, and use candles to get light in the middle of the night... >P
Bleh. I guess I was not part of the target audience...

main cast
Angelique...
...started as a dating simulation game for girls back in 1994 on the Super Famicom. The player took on the role of Angelique Limoges, an ordinary schoolgirl summoned to the Sanctuary of the Queen of the Cosmos. She had been chosen to compete in a contest to determine the next Queen. Angelique was clumsy and foolish in comparison to her rival, Rosalia de Cartagena, a refined girl who had been training since birth to compete in the Queen Examination.
What was this Examination, anyway? The girls had to use the powers, or Sacrea, of the Queen's nine Guardians to cultivate a barren continent. The girl whose population reached the center island connecting the two continents would become the next Queen. But with the nine handsome Guardians around, it was hard to decide between power or love...
Made up of 4 OVAs, each of which has multiple parts.

main character

secondary cast
17, female, curly hairThis character has locks of hair that grow in a curved, rather than straight, direction., energeticAn energetic character, often also called a genki character, shows great, often excessive levels of activity or vitality, and seems to always be doing everything extra fast. Genki characters are often slightly, or sometimes very, eccentric, and are filled with confidence and determination, regardless of whether they are competent or not; in fact, they often have little to no actual competence at whatever they generally do., green eyesThe character has green eyes., hair ribbonHair ribbons are ribbons used both as hair decorations and as hair ties. Hair ribbons are often tied into bows. They may also be present as part of a hairband. In older anthropomorphic series, where the gender of characters was sometimes hard to tell at first glance, ribbon bows were used to indicate a female character., ponytailA ponytail is a hairstyle in which most or all of the hair on the head is gathered and secured at the back of the head with a hair tie, clip or similar device, and allowed to hang freely from that point., shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair., yellow hairThe character has yellow hair. This does not map precisely to real-life blond hair.
