Red Garden

[RPG2000]

Nice series overall. Story was quite intriguing form episode one ‘till the end, but got to say that its execution could have been done better, especially towards the end. Character development was great and the best part of the show, imo. You clearly can see the changes the characters undergo as they interact with each other during the whole series. I found them likeable and quite interesting. As far animation goes, I have to say I was really pleased. Consistence was kept form episode to episode and battles went smooth and were well presented.

About the ending itself, I would say it was alright. It gave the sensation of completeness at least. However, it could have been better. I felt that the explanation about the curse was quite uninteresting and rushed, as well its final resolution. The level of drama wasn’t as good as previous episodes (ex: ep.1 and ep.16) (imo, the last episodes of an action/thriller/romance series should have the best drama of all). I also wasn’t that impress about the fight between the two bands as well the death of some of the characters (they just died like regular BG characters…well at least that was the feeling I got)

Even though all that, I have to say the series was fun to watch ‘till the end. No regrets whatsoever.

I actually thought that the drama in the final episode was very good. The scenes with Herve and his dying sister were extraordinary, and even though Lula died, she pretty much giving Herve one of the blows that killed him was, in my opinion, a nice detail. I also thought that the 4 girls going to sleep while Lise was talking about how she's found love as she disappeared was a nice touch too.

I do agree with you that the curse explanation felt rushed. But, there's an OVA coming up, and some of these questions and complaints we have might be resolved in the OVA.

Well, finally someone released the Dead Girls: Red Garden OVA... it's out by Animanda. Don't have a torrent at the moment, but you can get it from #animanda @ irc.rizon.net
