Tales of Phantasia OAV one
Pros: - Gorgeous animation
-Character designs stayed true, and voices are just as they should be.
-Gets to some cool-looking action quickly, and the spells look great
Cons: -Story - seems to be a highlights/key-points sort of deal, relying on the viewer's prior knowledge of the game. You won't get what's going on unless you've played the game. In my view, that's somewhat problematic, since there's neither nothing fresh coming out of this, nor a very cohesive re-telling of the game. Granted, understandable since there's only so much time they have in an OAV...
-The highlight scene, the Midgard secret weapon and how it all goes wrong, still pales animation-wise in comparison to the Playstation version cut-scene. One wonders why they had to re-do it.
Granted, as a fan of the game, I love it.
Those who never played the thing... ehh... you won't even know what happened

The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
