Fujimi Orchestra toes a dangerous line with its subject matter (and no, I don't mean classical music), but unfortunately fails to handle the situation with delicacy or insight, resulting in a plot that just flat out offends the senses. While the scenario is not entirely unrealistic, the characters' reactions to it are. And as the cherry on top, nothing is resolved in the end. The story is presented through a combination of present scenes and flashbacks, with little indication which is which. While the timeline is more clear by the end, I found the first half of the OAV unnecessarily confusing. This was presumably done to differentiate fromthe manga, but I feel a more linear presentation would have been a better decision.

The art is... well, the art is '98 animation, but poor directing and unnecessary scenes highlight its shortcomings.
