Arve Rezzle is as short anime OVA that is part of the 2013 Young Animator Project. Young Animator Project is an annual project, which started from 2010, that aims to develop young Japanese animators so as to avoid outsourcing from other countries. Arve Rezzle is set in 2022, in a futuristic and dystopian city of Okinotorishima Mega-Float City (OMFC for short) Our protagonist is a young male named Remu. Remu has a little sister named Shiki who lives and studies in an academy in OMFC. One day while both siblings were web chatting, Shiki revealed a shocking secret. Shiki revealed that what Remu sees in thescreen is not the real Shiki, nor the voice he hears is just produced by a program. Shiki then proceeded to show herself in a plant like state, enclosed by a semi-liquid stuff called a body pool. She explains that the Body pool is an Academy project where people who uses it, don't need to eat, drink, sleep or even use the toilet. People who use body pool, with the help of nerual linked nanomachines, are able to connect to an online network (w/c explains how she can skype with her brother.) Now a major indicent called Early Rupture occured, where thousands of users of the body pools sustain brain damage. This is where Remu decides to go to OMFC and get her sister back.

The Plot is pure Sci-fi, it has great setting and mood. Only problem with the plot is it has many gaps and it kinda force feeds lots of things to the viewer (it is mainly due to the lack of time, only 20 mins for this OVA) The art is beautiful in its own right but the animations aren't that fluid and are almost always still (what you'd expect from a low budget anime.) Overall, as a project from young animators, it was pretty okay but if you judge it as a normal anime it still lacks a lot of things.

My Personal Rating: 6/10
