A single OVA that moves like it's being chased. Kogawa treats every frame like an experiment in motion, cutting at angles that shouldn't work but do, building momentum so relentless you don't have time to question why the story keeps fracturing. This is what happens when a legendary animator gets one episode to prove animation direction can be its own narrative.
Lid Kail takes up his father's mission and sets off to defeat Vaii, the embodiment of the evil that appears to hold sway over the world. Longn and Mimau also set out to carry out his father's wishes, and Key and Bagda join the group during the journey. Together they push through a series of hardships on the road toward Vaii. The story is a single-episode 1985 OVA that blends adventure, fantasy and science fiction.
