Olivier, a young priest in a powerful church, has heard rumors that a god who will grant any wish lives on a distant island called 'G'- a place no one's traveled to and come back alive! Along with Ohri, a mysterious, mute girl, Olivier fearlessly sets out his journey. But there's more than meets the eye when they come up against Suzu, the Dark Elf, Olivier's former ally! See sparks fly when Ohri's true nature is revealed and the voyage to 'G' gets more than dangerous than our heroes bargained for!

[Note: I often reread reviews I've written after some time and may update and correct errors in the process.]

First of all for a 2 episode OVA, I think the anime managed to capture my attention so much so that I'd like it to be a series.

Characters:
The 2 main characters are decent and manage to make the viewer comfortable with them instantly. It's even more intriguing when during the OVA you realise the girl knows something that the priest is searching for. Ohri is lively and if developed further, I bet she'll be even more interesting.

Story
The ova merely starts the 2 main characters on their journey but really makes you want to know what is the truth at that the priest is searching for. The story is about a false belief that the priest wants to clear out for good. It's the genre where a group of people is going on a journey for the real truth among what was taught to the people. The story has a nice combination of a party (a priest and a sorceress). Makes you think of Ragnarok the Animation.

Animation:
Not bad; your normal anime quality.

All in all for an ova which just introduces you a story, I think it's worth a watch.

content indicatorsThe content indicators branch is intended to be a less geographically specific tool than the `age rating` used by convention, for warning about things that might cause offence. Obviously there is still a degree of subjectivity involved, but hopefully it will prove useful for parents with delicate children, or children with delicate parents.

· nudityNudity is the state of wearing no clothing and exposing the bare skin or intimate parts. NO FRONTAL NUDITY (visible genitals) = 1.5 STARS OR LESS. Especially gratuitous fanservice shows tend to show their characters frequently without any clothes, though often hiding genitals through the means of additions like steam. +

dynamicSome of the central structural elements in anime are Plot Continuity, Stereotype Characters and Plot Twists.

· plot continuityConsistency of the characteristics of persons, plot, objects, places and events seen by the viewer. A single linear focused plot is highly continuous. A truly random plot is highly discontinuous. **

elementsNext to Themes setting the backdrop for the protagonists in anime, there are the more detailed plot Elements that centre on character interactions: "What do characters do to each other or what is done to them?". Is it violent Action, an awe-inspiring Adventure in a foreign place, the gripping life of a Detective, a slapstick Comedy, an Ecchi Harem anime, a SciFi epic, or some Fantasy travelling adventure?

· actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting. **

· comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy. **+

· romanceRomance describes a story that deals with love between two or more characters typically also having an optimistic ending. Romance is also a difficulty encountered when creating a harem. *

· · sudden girlfriend appearanceSudden Girlfriend Appearance anime involve a sudden change in the main character`s life where (s)he suddenly gets confronted with an individual (s)he`s sexually attracted to, the two of them inevitably becoming a couple. *+

· speculative fictionSpeculative fiction is an umbrella genre encoming fiction with certain elements that do not exist in the real world, often in the context of supernatural, futuristic or other imaginative themes. This includes, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, superhero fiction, horror, utopian and dystopian fiction, fairytale fantasy, supernatural fiction, as well as combinations thereof.

· · daikaijuuLiterally translating to giant monster, daikaiju is an element found often in Japanese entertainment. Although usually for the science fiction genre it is also often used in horror, fantasy, mecha, and to a lesser extent comedy. Any monster that towers over a house technically qualifies as a daikaiju. Some anime, usually mecha, will go as far as calling their daikaiju with a specific title. weightless

· · fantasyImaginative or fanciful work, especially one dealing with supernatural elements and themes. ***

· · · dragonVery intelligent mythical beings - a cross between a very large lizard and a dinosaur - that breath fire, and have a knack for kidnapping damsels, thus distressing them. *+

· · · elfElf, in common description, near-divine beings, with pointed ears and immortal life-spans. They are sage beings that occupy the realms and gates between humanity and the gods. **

· · · magicMagic is the art of purportedly manipulating aspects of reality either by supernatural means or through knowledge of unknown occult laws. ***

· super powerBe it an ancient Greek Heracles, a cybernetic muscle-man, or a fourteen year-old girl in a mini-skirted sailor suit. As long as they have super powers, they`re in the show. **+

originno description set

· Japanese productionno description set weightless

original workWhat the anime is based on! This is given as the original work credit in the OP. Mostly of academic interest, but a useful bit of info, hinting at the possible depth of story.

· mangaManga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry. Everything and its mother is based on manga. However! There are exceptions where the manga was not the basis for the anime. See also manhua and manhwa. weightless

settingThe setting describes in what time and place an anime takes place. To a certain extent it describes what you can expect from the world in the anime.

· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.

· · fictional locationA fictional location is run by different rules than your common and ordinary world: fictional worlds, computer-generated worlds, fantasy worlds, magical worlds, parallel worlds accessible through portals, etc. A fantasy world typically involves magic or magical abilities, and/or a medieval theme. A world that generally shares the characteristics of, and/or is generally indistinguishable from the real world (bar research on a "more than cursory" level), would NOT be considered a fictional world. ***

target audienceAnime, like everything else in the modern world, is targeted towards specific audiences, both implicitly by the creators and overtly by the marketing.

· shounenIn the context of manga and associated media, shounen, literally meaning "youth" and often also specifically "boy", refers to a male audience roughly between the ages of 10 and 18. weightless
