It's been a long day so gonna review something short.
No GIFS today, there is little OVA gifs for this.
[(SPOILER AHEAD) PREMISE OF THE OVA:]()
This OVA focuses on our main Female gang making some chocolates for Valentines, I honestly don't mind OVAs like these for Slice of Life shows but Steins;Gate's atmosphere is just too dark for stuff like this, its not even after the events of the main series so that means Okabe still supposed to be fucking mentally scarred.
The contents of the OVA weren't even that enjoyable especially with this cast, they just don't belong in such an enviroment. The characters felt off, they weren't really themselves.
[CHARACTERS:]()
The same character as in the main series appeared in the main series, I already covered those in that one but here's a quick rundown:
All these characters just kinda forget the main story and just focus on Valentines day. Maybe thats just their way of coping with all of those events but it just didn't feel, right. Like I mentioned before many times. Because of this the characters feel really unreal and not like them. You will have to watch Steins;Gate 0 and this OVA to see what I mean, the difference is real tho. Trust me on this one.
[ART/ANIMATION:]()
The animation was on par as the main series, it was fluid and smooth but nothing really that exciting to be perfectly honest.
It was watchable, thats what I mean.
The colours, maybe it was just my version, were a bit washed out. This could be due to my version that I...acquired, but just incase it wasn't then yeah, that was kinda bad.
[MUSIC:]()
They just re-used the OP and ED of the main series and I already covered that in the main series review.
I don't remember much of the OST from the main series but I would believe that they also re-used that as well.
This whole OVA just kinda feels rushed.
[OVERALL OPINION:]()
This felt really mediocre, especially when we compare it to the OVA we go in the Steins;Gate series (not Zero), that one was after the series and showed us what happened after the events, the new daily lives of the characters.
This is not the highest quality OVA I've ever seen.
