Kimagure Orange Road OVA/Movie Box Set Reviews
| 25 of 26 people found the following review helpful:  Final episodes, movie, for classic romatic triangle series., By This review is from: Kimagure Orange Road OVA/Movie Box Set (DVD) I'm going to approach this differently than most of my reviews, because there's a lot to like about this box set. Saying that, I have to admit that there was not much of a compelling reason story wise to create it. The set consists of three DVDs; the first two each contain four OAV (direct to video) episodes, of Kimagure Orange Road made after the TV series. The third DVD is a series-ending movie. While my overall rating for the set is four stars, the movie rates five stars, therefore, episodes are only fair to good.What's good about the episodes is the music and animation. Japanese OAV releases generally have a higher standard than the TV series episodes. The quality of the animation lives up to that, and they feature many good songs. Unfortunately, beyond that these are simply fan episodes. Someone determined there was still a market for KOR stuff, and cranked out a very derivative set of episodes.

I believe I could have turned my back on anime at any time... up until I watched these OVAs. Yes, both the OVAs and the TV series revolves around the high school love triangle between Kyosuke, Madoka, and Hikaru. But for those of us past high school age, there is an element of sweet nostalgia in Orange Road. The memories of loves won, lost, and merely dreamed about come flooding back. "Dance in the memories" is more than just a song title from the series. Yes, Kyosuke is a wimp, but with a heart of gold. Bear in mind the problem he faces is that he is not sure how Madoka feels about him. In traditional Japanese culture, if the girl refuses the boy's invitation to "go steady", he has no second chance. That's it. End of story. So Kyosuke is tormented... he sees signs... Read more Cool OVA, By minakofan05 "minakofan05" (SC USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Kimagure Orange Road OVA/Movie Box Set (DVD) This is a good buy. Well worth the money. Although it's a little hard to follow the storyline if you haven't seen the tv series. The OVA's take place in different times from the tv series. But I would recommend this anime. |
