AniWorthMaster Keaton OVA
Introduction
Taichi Keaton is a man of many talents: father, historian, frequent traveler, negotiator, archaeologist, former survival instructor, and all while working as an insurance investigator for Lloyd's of London.

I had already written a review for the main Master Keaton series before, and now that I've watched the OVA, I felt like I had to talk about it too. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed the OVA even more than the main series. It felt more diverse in terms of stories and themes, and I found myself way more excited while watching it.
One thing that really stood out to me was the music, it was so well done and added a lot to the atmosphere. Also, there's a quote from the grandfather that really stuck with me: "Bad dogs hurt good dogs, just like humans do." Simple, but deep. Definitely one of those lines that stays with you.

If you want to watch a quality, fun and relaxing episode of anime, this never disappoints...
Master Keaton, the now almost 18 year old predecessor to Urasawa's Anime classic "Monster", is a massively overlooked show.
Just like the original season, this OVA shares a lot of the creative staff with its younger brother, Naoki Urasawa having illustrated the original Master Keaton Manga and even supposedly written a large proportion of it
(which is hard to say for certain, given co-writer Hokusei Katsushika sadly passed away in 2004).
Story:
The premise of this show is a simple one, telling short adventure stories from all around the world of the 1990s, usually in some connection to historical and/or criminal themes. I will not say much more than that.
The setting is very western and in that…
