The greatest OVA ever for me. I've seen alot (A few hundred) but Area 88 stands above the lot. It's just a great story with superb animation, a truly epic soundtrack and wonderful sound design, It has a beautiful conclusion, It's just a perfect piece. Originally 3 episodes but now available as two movies it's incredible how good the endings to each of them are. The ending to the first film (second OVA) is an immense crescendo of story, animation and soundtrack. It'll live long in the memory. The Ending to the second film (Third OVA) is a perfect of example of giving the viewerjust what they need and nothing more, allowing this masterwork to bury itself into your Anime psyche forever.

Not really sure what else to say, when I think about this OVA all my brain goes to is superlative central with little depth. It's just a special thing and has to be seen.
