My Take:
Okay first of all, I won't beat around the bush. I literally got bored watching this OVA to a point that I completely lost interest with it after watching the first fifteen minutes of the first part. By the time I moved on to the second one, I got easilly distracted and found myself pausing it several times and doing other stuff (reading emails, chatting, etc). By the time I got back to watching, I forgot what was happening with the scene and pressed replay, but got bored again so repeat and rinse. In the end, I didn't finish the second part so i resorted to just hitting fast forward and got a glimpse of the scenes; I didn't even bother understanding what the ending was.

I think the only good thing about this 2-part OVA is the art. The characters were indeed nicely drawn, but unfortunately that's it for me. One character is noteworthy though; he strongly resembles Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII and he caught my eye immediately. The story was seriously underdeveloped, there was absolutely no scene that got me excited on what was going to happen next. I'm kinda disappointed on how this turned out, since I was kinda looking forward to watching a fantasy sort of shounen-ai.

I didn't make this review to trash the OVA. This is just a heads-up to other people who have plans on watching this on what to expect on Angel's Feather. To those who do plan to watch this, I hope that your time won't be wasted because it certainly was to me. Peace! ^.^
