Outlanders · review
The OVA has some very obviously similarities with Urusei Yatsura, and you can easily guess that it was influenced by UY in the first place. An extraterrestrial girl comes to earth and takes a useless boy as her groom, against her people wishes, she uses a flames like power on one of the scenes agains the boyfriend and she even has a girl-friend that looks/behaves like Benten. For the anime version they even coloured her hair in green, that looking by the cover of the manga was yellow, and used the same Seyuu of Lum, Fumi Hirano, to do the voice work. Coincidence? I don'tthink so.
The character designs are very similar to those of Takahashi anime versions at the time, but that character design was in vogue at the time, so let's leave that detail.
There are obviously some differences; there is more blood, even gore at the beginning, and more echii stuff that UY would even dare to use.
The story is nothing sort of memorable. But in the end it was an entertaining OVA, even if it was to spot the UY similarities.
Rate: 6.4/10
