Another disappointment from Production IG. The OVA had a stupid script but dramatic, colourful visuals, and a dark, gritty feel. The TV doesn’t have that, but it does have standard anime plotting, a heroine with two identities which are never sufficiently explained, some bishonen international villains, an invulnerable assistant to the heroine who is never asked “Who the hell ARE you anyway?”, the requisite undercover-in-an-all-girl-convent-school arc, and extremely bland visuals. Very occasionally there is an unexpected quality increase, as though another director took over for a few minutes, but overall this is a real letdown after expectations raised by the OVA, and is best approached as filler if you have nothing else to watch.
I’ve seen the first half (26 episodes).
