Let's get the good things out of the way. I really like the soundtrack which seems to be middle-eastern inspired. The track that plays while the Otome Delta team are about to attack the bus is a good example of this. The same thing can be said about the ED theme. As far as technical aspect goes, the animation and character design are pretty good and look consistent. But Sunrise rarely do a bad job in animation and character design, unless they're really strapped for money. What Sunrise never seems to have in spades is decent script writer. This OVA, just like the one that preceeded it, is pretty sparse in plot and has a slow pacing. The action itself is decent but it doesn't really get exciting until the last 5 minutes of the episode. It's quite clear now that the writers will just cram everything in the last 2 OVAs.
