Well, I felt that it missed the mark in terms of the tone of the story and the characters in it. (I was actually discussing it elsewhere, so I'll kind of rehash the points.)

Chie felt too generically Cheerful Moe in the anime, which felt off to me in comparison to Chie from the novel. She's described in the novel as someone that is very plain/boring, easily missed by others. I'll give things a second chance when I have subs to compare, but from what I did get from the OVA it felt like it missed the mark. From the novel, we repeatedly see Chie as someone that is incredibly clever and someone that is actually kind of.....horrible in her own way. I didn't get the same sense of "This girl doesn't care" that was conveyed in the novel.

In terms of Tsukiyama, my issue with him in the OVA is the same as in Root A. The awful character design didn't help in terms of my continued side-eyeing of Studio Pierrot in terms of their focus on Tsukiyama as a comedic weird/pervy character. It always feels like they miss the mark in terms of balancing his dramatics with his seriousness, and coming out the wrong side of things.

Ultimately, yes. These are my personal take-aways and opinions on the matter.

You are entitled to your opinion as well, Anon. You are welcome to have liked it, and feel that they did an awesome job. That's your opinion, just like my opinion is my own.

Your sarcasm, dismissive attitude, and rudeness aren't necessary. There is no right or wrong answer, since obviously it is a matter of PERSONAL taste and opinion. We're not going to agree, nor do we have to.

Now, I've been nursing a bad head cold for the last several days and I think I've wasted enough time on this. So I'm going to bow out and go do something more worthwhile. Enjoy your sarcasm and arguing with anyone else that cares to debate you, Anon.
