In many ways, Azure Striker Gunvolt (the anime) reminds me of MegaMan X – The Day of Sigma, not only in that they’re both based in very similar games, but in that this OVA serves more as a companion to the main game than anything else, showing basically the tutorial and how the main characters get to meet each other for the first time. However, when evaluated by itself, the OVA falls flat. At times, it is vague on terms and concepts of the setting, while also not really showing a complete story, giving more airs of a pilot than anything else. If you have alreadyplayed the game, or are interested in trying it, this will be a nice watch. But if you don’t, you won’t be missing on much by skipping it.
