This is a very interesting way to animate, that's for sure. I will admit at first it seemed a bit bland in the beginning, but as soon as I found out about Takaba's job, it did pull me in. The audio wasn't extremely terrible, though I do admit their Chinese did not sound authentic. Then again, they're Japanese actors. The characters' designs were interesting, and I loved the style of this, an AniMix. I was surprised when I saw how little animation there was, but since it was different I found it just as good as a normal OVA. Overall I'd say it is fair, though I'dthink it'd be better with the Hong Kong arc (found in the manga, you should try to read it). I suggest the drama CD, makes it more lively.
