I did not see a review on this so I decided to write one. I literally watched this just to kill time while waiting for stuff so I was not exactly going into this with high expectations. As you know Handsome Girl is a one episode shoujo OVA from the early 90s. The art has that 90s anime fuzzy look to it and dull audio quality, but this may just be Youtube. I actually like that about 90s anime but some may think that's distracting/off putting. I like how the scenery looks, painted backgrounds with ferns and such. I personally think the picture MAL currently hasfor this looks really dope. But they look rather derpy and low budget typical shoujo style in the actual show. I liked some of the background music, it sounded like sped up vaporwave. The story in this OVA was really rushed and mashed together without properly explaining things. I feel this OVA would have been better if they had at least four episodes or hell two episodes to organize and pace the story better. In the mere 37 minutes they were not able to have any real character development and I didn't feel anything for the characters when stuff goes wrong/well. Handsome Girl does have a story tho and if you don't mind it flying at the speed of a motorcycle with malfunctioning brakes then you may actually enjoy it. I've actually seen people really enjoy it saying such stuff as "Omg I'm in love with this ova :)" It's only 37 minutes so it's not the end of the world if you end up disliking it and it makes a quick addition to your completed. Overall I give it a 4/10 I feel my time would have passed quicker watching a pot of water on the stove.
