If Legaciam has only a fair story, poor sound and average characters, how come I give it a 7 overall? Because it's fun but flawed. The plot is very slight and the cliffhanger end, were it to be resolved, would instantly push it up a few notches. Taken on its own, it's one of many mecha OVAs produced around the same time, with an odd mix of serious attempts at a plot and light comedy of the sort Madox-01 uses. The mechanical designs are reminiscent of Dunbine, or the much later Brain Powered, and the combat sequences are, while formulaic, still exciting due to some interesting choreography. If,however, you bear all this in mind, Legaciam becomes a quite enjoyable one-off OVA. The futuristic society the creators designed is interesting, mixing Miyazaki-esque fantasy with a pulp-y sci-fi city which could be straight out of Mass Effect. This mix of styles works in the same way Turn-A Gundam's retro-future stuff did - it alienates the viewer. (Legaciam's character and costume designs also reminded me of Turn-A's Moonrace.)

Ultimately, though, it is wasted potential. The setting that has been created is interesting, the mech designs are good but ultimately underused and the plot, unfinished as it is, is too slight to stand alone.
