I would never recommend this OVA to anyone as a replacement for the manga or the 2014 anime adaptation, but as it's own thing and a companion piece to the original story that offers different takes on some things it works surprisingly well. The character designs are at least interesting, the animation is extremely fluid (vastly outshining SC anime) and the music is great at illustrating the tone. Sadly the weird self depricating humor that the series is known for is almost completely gone. The whole thing takes itself really seriously and that works as a detriment to some of the most riddiculous moments (like Josephsmashing the camera with his stand in order to produce a nude photo of the family's arch enemy whose head is posessing his grandfather). Sadly the voice acting and sound design fall flat, but I don't know if it is caused by the performances or the fact that I got used to the over the top voice acting kown from the modern adaptation of Stardust Crusaders. Overall I wouldn't recommend this OVA to anyone not fammiliar with the original but it's a cool thing that it was made.
