May 4, 2013 Singan Recommended Based on a story by Kazunori Ito (the scriptwriter for Ghost in the Shell & Patlabor movies), Urban Square: Chasing Amber is a very unusual OVA as it can be perceived in two different ways, and the way you choose pretty much determines whether you'll like it or not.

Jan 4, 2019 matthigh Mixed Feelings A fair-to-middlin' OVA action/murder/mystery from the eighties. From a time when practically every other anime movie or OVA featured characters with mysterious extra-sensory powers, it's actually refreshing to come across a story that features REAL people behaving in REAL situations, doing REAL things. Well, the story does get a little over the top at times, but what I mean is there's nothing supernatural in this story. A rarity in eighties OVAs! Granted, the plot of the story is a little far-fetched, as a mild-mannered writer gets unwittingly involved in a murder mystery, faces off against a honest-to-god ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 28, 2021 iamKetranLang Not Recommended This was infuriating crap, holy shit was it stupid. The MC is fucking retarded. In the 80s/90s you get these goofball MCs. The joke with these idiots is that they're always trying to cover their ass, and it seems they are getting into trouble but the god awful scriptwriting always saves them. Every bullet fired misses the MC and the bad guys seriously never win cause the scriptwriting demands they are always fooled. If you wanna know what's so bad, you can read my forum post. The MC is stupid. The good cop is stupid too if he knew what was so wrong, but would ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 8, 2024 AnimeEnjoyer420 Recommended A lesser known work from Kazunori Ito, more popularly known for his work on Ghost in the Shell, among many others, this is a straightforward crime thriller about an average Joe getting caught up in a criminal conspiracy. Personally, I love these kinds of movies, so There are certainly some bits and pieces here that you can nitpick. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 21, 2022 KamuiX1999 Recommended I love coming across an obscure OVA from anime's golden era that's different from the pack and good to boot, and this certainly fits the bill. Not only is it well done, but it's quite unique in that it's a rather serious crime noir, something you don't often see in the genre. There's not a whole lot of ha-ha or goofiness on display here, which is a hallmark of a lot of crime anime from the period, such as City Hunter or Lupin III. This makes it all the more odd that as far as I can tell, it's never been officially licensed for an ... Read more Open Gift Report |
