These OVAs are fantastic if you go in with proper expectations. It's a 50 minute ad for a manga, and it's not going to spend time on the basics of a story, like telling audience who the characters are or why things are happening.
Instead, this is pure animation spectacle with a big "buy the manga if you want to know what any of this is about" sign taped to the end. The OVAs are directed by Yashuchika Nagaoka, director of the outstanding Crest and Banner of the Stars series, and feature early career work from current star action animators like Yutaka Nakamura, who get to go off on some very ambitious and well-executed action scenes. The character designs are attractive and the characters have fun personalities. It's an easy, entertaining watch if you just go with it and don't expect any co…

This is animated way better than it deserves to be.
Playing card themed heroes battle ... who are these people? Who is this guy with bad grammar and a flying drill? Who is the leggy wolf lady? What's up with the Cookie Monster-eyed ninjas? Who's this Joker guy or the Red Lobster guy? More to the point, who are these heroes, zipping around, crashing vehicles, fighting gargantuan chess pieces? Who knows? The world-building and characterization in this brief OVA are as shallow as a playing card is thick.
A bit more meat on the story's bones wouldn't have hurt. The world of table-top-game-themed heroes and villains is, admittedly, unique, but it's not really enough to engage the viewer. Maybe if one were a fan of the manga or the video game this would resonate more. Perhaps that was the ide…

JaJa Uma! Quartet, known as Wild Cardz in english, is one of the most boring and pointless series that I have ever seen. The story stars a group of 4 girls, each themed after playing cards, as they protect the card kingdom from a giant chess piece. And that's it. The story never tells us anything important such as, oh, I don't know, maybe why our four protagonists have super powers or how they met, or even why they hold the title Crown Knights, Heroes to the nation. We never learn where the chess piece came from, or even the villain behind the whole thing. As such, its impossible to be invested since we never learn the stakes and have no idea about our character's backstories and why we should care. Of course, there is one character we need to look at extensivly. A chinese character named…
