Ignore all the people complaining about this being a bad adaptation; it's simply trying to do something different than the source material. I was honestly confused seeing the score here, until I remembered that anime communities tend to be overly hostile towards anything that takes the source material in a different direction. I really love this film; it has a unique fairy tale vibe that is furthered, not hampered, by how mysterious its world is. The story also makes sense if you are able to put two and two together without exposition. I highly recommend watching this if you desire an anime that plays out likea literary fairytale.

So, if you are on the verge of watching it, but the reviews are pushing you away, ignore them and give this OVA a chance. It's really a shame, because if this weren't connected to manga, it would easily be sitting above an 8.
