Lloyd's best friend transforms into a living sacrifice, and the OVA refuses to look away from what that costs her. Four episodes can't hold a 60-hour story, so it burns through plot to focus on the moments that actually break people, the friendships fracturing under impossible choices, the world-ending truth nobody wanted to know. The landscapes are rendered with a patience the narrative itself doesn't have, which makes every beautiful shot feel like a memorial to something the pacing is already leaving behind.

Sylvarant is dying. Two worlds exist side by side, each unaware of the other, and they compete for the mana that keeps them alive, so one can only thrive while the other withers. On the failing world, a Chosen must travel to awaken the Summon Spirits, defeat the Desians and become an angel to bring the mana back. Colette Brunel, the Chosen of Sylvarant, sets out with her best friends Lloyd Irving and Genis Sage, the brightest kid in Iselia. They are joined by Kratos, a mysterious mercenary, and Raine, Genis's sister. Along the way they gain new friends, face more enemies, and learn the truth behind the World Regeneration. This four-episode fantasy adventure OVA is adapted from the video game of the same name.
