To be blunt, this OVA was a complete waste of my time: I've never given such low ratings pior nor, I doubt, will I do again. My patience was immensely tested throughout the span of these two episodes; I kept watching hope against hope that there would be a spark of brilliance of plot twist or character development. But all I seemingly did was watch a young girl fall, break things, cry, and apologize repeatedly for two hours, and the men around her acting without the decorum that suits their high status. The first few minutes of the first episode tricked me into thinking thiswill be a glamorous, multi-tiered family drama. Boy, had I been disappointed. I feel sympathetic towards the artists and designers who had to deal with this.
