Anime: Natsuki Crisis

Hmm.... How can I put this Ova... I guess its different. Its relatively old and unknown. I would say that the only reasons I watched it was because I had nothing better to do :p. Anyways the general plot revolves around Natsuki and Rina. Rina is a transfer student from a school famous for there martial arts... and they BOTH are expert martial artists. The whole thing mostly involves Rina's old school sending people to try and silence/punish her for leaving the school.

Animation
Surprisingly the animation is fairly good of the year its made in. I mean the fight scenes are actually decently animated and most of the scenes aren't too badly done either. Although you can tell they got a bit lazy for SOME of the moves during fights scenes. I.e. they took out the background, or they slow down the kick speed etc. In one scene where they fight the cronies.. That is sort of cheesed up cause they use the same character design for them all. Either way its not that bad. Its defintely considered good animation for its time.

Sound
The sound was mediocre. They had nothing special about it... Rather I don't even remember any of the songs or music played in it. The voice acting is also fair, nothing too much to talk about.

Story
The story is pretty messy. I mean the whole thing is only 2 episodes so you can't expect too much. Still they link everything fairly badly together. They have a habit of added small details of the story at odd times. Espially rite before... or during a fight. I mean yeah... the details are suppose to anger or provoke the characters but... they aren't that necessary. Some of the fights made no sense either.... Like the last fight in episode one, where the guy acts all strong... And they lead you to believe so to, but hes beaten really easilly. I don't know if that was suppose to be comical or they just got lazy. Either way the whole thing isn't done too well plot wise.

Character
The characters are also so so. I guess you don't really feel for them too much since its soo short. Another problem is the changes in the characters are really drastic so its hard to tell how they are. One minute they are cold and angry the next they become happy go lucky. Either that or they are totally serious then they beat someone and start laughing. I dunno its very inconsistent.

Value and Enjoyment
I didn't really get much out of this ova. It was a short watch which is good because it didn't waste much time. But it wasn't that good. I guess the merit was the decent fight scenes. If you were to ask me if this is rewatchable I would say no. Its more of a one time go and then move on. Its not even worth mentioning that much. I did enjoy it though cause its been a while since I've watched an old school anime. This is definitely geared towards fans of action/martial arts animes. So if you either have nothing better to watch or like the genre give it a go!
