"Death Parade" has a brilliant and unexpected premise that delivers, and this is the OVA/Pilot that after winning awards allowed the 1st season to happen.
It is one of the best anime's I've watched to date, I was invested enough to track down the Pilot.
The animation quality isn't as high as in "Death Parade" but the core vibe is still there, the cast of characters, engaging story and dark beauty are seen as well.
This OVA was found after the binge of "Death Parade" and the regret when I found episode 12 was the last one available (2nd season promised for 2018 hasn't materialized) but I stumbled upon this (thankfully) for a final "fix".
Pros:
- Solid animation.
- Excellent premise.
- Great cast of characters.
- A final fix and the way to see what spawned the series.
Cons:
- No English Dub (you'd think they would have gone back and done it for the sales!).
- 2nd season promises in 2018 has yet to materialize.
