7 /10

I never had heard of Switch before until I randomly stumbled upon it. From what I saw the art looked fairly well done, and both episodes were only thirty minutes, so I was intrigued to see what it was about. And overall I wasn't too disappointed by the hour long OVA. Story (8/10): the plot of the show reminded me of a James Bond movie, which was the main reason I decided to keep watching. It's centered around a police narcotics division trying to bust a group selling the notorious drug Funny Angel, or FA. It's thrilling, has a sense of suspense and causes youto think a little. The overall world is quite immersive since the story moves so quickly, reminding me a lot like a movie. My only complaint is how many unanswered questions the show leaves, not only at the end, but throughout the whole thing. I can recall thinking in the last few minutes "what the fuck??" way too many times.

Art (7/10): there's nothing terribly unique about the art style or the overall animation. It's well done, and the characters are nice to look at. Yet again, there wasn't anything that was extremely hard to execute on a visual level.

Sound (8/10): the soundtrack worked well with the vibe of the story, which again reminded me of a secret agent/spy movie. It wasn't something that's extremely noteworthy, but it was definitely used well to fit the show.

Character (6/10): the characters were okay. There was quite a few of them, varying in importance, but none of them were really developed. If someone asked me to describe the characters, I wouldn't know what to say. At the most all I could do is divide them into two categories: the criminals and the cops. I especially wouldn't know what to say for Kai, who I guess would be considered the main character. We never know his motivations for wanting to protect Hal- let alone any character's motivation. Does Kai love Hal, or does he want to help his best friend? We'll never know! As a side note, there weren't any girl characters. This didn't bother me, but it was just odd to realize every character was male.

Enjoyment (8/10): watching the show in one sitting and being able to take it in such a short amount of was very enjoyable to me. The plot was interesting and grabbed my attention, allowing me to be immersed in the story. The hour watching the show was well-spent in my opinion.

Overall I'd recommend Switch to anyone wanting to watch something short and interesting, maybe needing something to pull them out of an anime slump.
