This Shinsei Galverse OVA was really fun to watch, and left me curious for more. Before watching the anime I didn't really know what expectations to have, as this is artist Ayaka Ohira's first big project as a director and there was very few reference material of the Shinsei Galverse artwork in motion, aside from the Tove Lo - I Like U music video, and the trailer itself. However, the recent revealing of the high-profile voice actor cast and the behind the scenes footage on their YouTube channel really got me excited to watch this. Watching Shinsei Galverse, the art didn't disappoint: the characters look crispand vibrant, with some beautiful background shots in there as well. Obviously the anime was made to please 90's anime fans, but it does so while looking modern at the same time. The action scenes were great too, with the laser guns, swords and gadgets all looking and sounding crisp and impactful. Overall I really like the positive yet serious tone of the Galverse universe, which makes it easy to watch but at the same time handles interesting, meaningful topics.

Because the episode was quite short we didn't get to see a whole lot of individual character progression, but D.D stood out to me as the most interesting one. She looks badass, and Ai Fairouz did a great job voicing her. I would love to see more of her story.

Without spoiling too much, the final scene adds an interesting extra layer that really left me wanting more!
