A little OVA that does not need spoken dialogue to tell you it's story. · Waifora

Summary To give you some insight about this world, is that in this world their are 2 beings, one are the Insiders or the human race, who live inside the big city, the other is called the Outsiders, they are cursed dark monster-like creatures, who live outside of the city.

Story
This is a story about a little girl named Shiva, an Insider, who is found by an Outsider she comes to know as Sensei. Though they cannot touch or she would receive the curse from him. They live their lives like normal & Sensei cares for her as best as he can.

It is only a 10 min long OVA, but it was able to tell the story in a very interesting & unique way.
As in this OVA their is no spoken dialogue, only but the animation, music & sound effects that have the ability to tell you what is going on.
It shows us the lives of Shiva & Sensei as they go about their daily lives, while also showing us that their is more to this than meets the eye.

Characters Not many characters were rly shown in this, we only got to be introduced to Shiva & Sensei, there was ofc 1 more Outsider we got to see but not much was rly shown of it. So let me tell you a bit about those 2.

Shiva: Is a little girl who was picked up by Sensei an Outsider. She believes that her grandma will come back one day to look for her and she looks forward to her return, she can be quite naive but is a very sweet & innocent girl.

Sensei: He is an Outsider who has forgotten much about himself before he was cursed & turned into this creature, he was the one who found Shiva & has been taking care of her as best as he can ever since.
He has a good heart and does everything for his little protégé.

Although those things weren't rly shown in the OVA it could help you to understand the characters more.

Animation
The animation was simply amazing & i have no words to describe it what an impact the animation was able to give & just the sheer beauty that was shown in a few of those scenes.
It was also able to give a certain depth to it giving it a beautiful, yet also being to give it a more eerie look at times when it needed to be.
The artstyle rly was identical to the manga which was most def not easy to recreate as it is a very unique artstyle, but WIT Studio still pulled it off in the most unique & best way possible, it had some rly amazing animation moments & a beautiful color pallete. Art wise it felt like it was alive & never stood still.

Music The music was aswell simply amazing & rly added that extra layer of how beautiful, yet dangerous this world can be for this girl. It rly fit perfectly with the moments & rly added to the atmosphere of the show, which all but made this OVA that much more impactful & beautiful to look at.

Conclusion
It simply was able to create a breathtaking story with just animation & music with addition of sound effects to tell the story to you & giving you an unique experience you will be more than surely to remember.
