AniWorthSeisenshi Dunbine OVA
Introduction
Taking place 700 years after the Dunbine TV Series, "The Tale of Neo Byston Well" revolves around Shion Zaba, the reincarnation of series protagonist Sho Zama. Together with Silkie Mau, Reml Jilfried (the reincarnation of Remile Luft), and the Aura Battler Silbine, Shion must stop a twisted Shot Weapon from launching a custom-made nuclear ICBM missile that's poised to wipe out the realm.
"The Tale of Neo Byston Well" gained praise not only for its upgraded animation but also for using B-CLUB Magazine's popular AURA FANTASM series as the basis for the new Aura Battler designs.

Seisenshi Dunbine OVA is loosely a sequel to the original TV series that began airing in 1983, but watching the original show is by no means mandatory. In fact, I’ve never seen the original run myself, and I still found that the three OVA episodes stand perfectly well on their own. Centuries separate the two narratives, and the OVAs can just as easily be viewed as a retelling or reimagining of a similar story. If you’re not keen on committing to a 50-episode series but want to sample this fantasy/sci-fi world and see whether it’s your cup of tea, starting with the three-episode OVA is a very reasonable approach. With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at what Seisenshi Dunbine OVA does well.
Fans of Dirty Pair may be pleased to learn that the OVAs were directed by Toshifumi Takizawa,…

the rapid flashing lights ending of this ova physically hurt to look at
the mech designs are kinda cool but they're barely animated. the storyline is nonsense both as its own thing and as a dunbine sequel. there are a few funny scenes but none of the characters really have any personality. some of the action is well animated, i like the weight in the on foot battles, but anything positive i can say about the ova overall is ruined by how the end of the story is viscerally unpleasant to watch and made me cover my eyes for a full minute

Preview: i think it's useful to watch this ova only if you had already watched the Dunbine original series.
I look at this ova , as a continuum with the original series.
Review:
the character design of the mecha is really good, i love the look and the detail, but.... the animation of every battle really lack a lot, even in comparison with the first Dunbine series.
For the characters that you can find, i think you can't expect too much, they all seem like other Tomino characters, i don't have another and more accurate description.
The animation is overall good, except for the combat.
The don't think somebody can understand the story if they haven't watched the first Dunbine series, and even if you had, something remain puzzled and missing (as always with Tomino)
And don't forget the epi…
