Unlike this atrocity, the original OVA is great - not groundbreaking cinema, but a modest, if guilty, pleasure. But even watching the subs on this one won't save you. It wallows in it's own clichés until it awkwardly tries to mimic the original, and you can't go more than a minute without a character outright announcing their motivation. In the end, it fluctuates between trying to be a parody and apologizing profusely for falling short even as a parody.
If you've watched and enjoyed the original, this is uncomfortably like seeing the body of a departed loved one hoisted up on strings and made to dance to music out of a hentai flick.
