The animation is more like a slideshow. The characters are very bland aside from nora, who, while inoffensive and cute, is basically a mary-sue who can do anything. the plot. Is indiscernible.
I would absolutely recommend you witness this OVA at least once in your life, not because it's good, but because it's such an enigma wondering how it even came to be, and why certain choices were made. I can't describe it, truly a product so confusing that it could only be made by mankind. 10/10 experience despite it being terrible, it easily fits in the so bad it's good category.
One thing that IS good is the music, which makes sense. It's very short too, so it's not as though you're wasting alot of time.

it felt a little too bland so i rated it a 1 because of a boring story and insane 2fps part,the story prior to this one about Nora is not related to this at all even tho its titled as a sequel,got there for the meme value and honestly i rated original Nora a 5,i wouldve gave it a 5.5 if it were allowed,it is definitely not a 6 and definitely not a 4 so i picked best awailable option of just 5 for original nora and i would not have done same for this one,if not for the animation being meme grade id give it a 3,its so bad that its good honestly is the approach to have with this which is why even tho i gave it a 1 i recommend anyone to see it as it trully is funny from how bad it is

If you enjoyed the previous Nora, it’s probably best to set those expectations aside before watching this OVA. While it intended to build on the prequel, the final result feels confused and underdeveloped.
It’s hard to tell what happened in the ten months between productions, but the OVA comes across as rushed, almost like an unfinished project. The plot is practically non-existent, offering little direction or payoff, and the animation frequently resembles a slideshow. In fact it feels more like it is intended to serve as a music video then a sci-fi bounty hunter show.
That said, Nora herself remains much the same. Her chaotic, unpredictable personality is still on display, including moments that lean into absurd humour. Fans of exaggerated antics may find a small amount of enjoyment h…

Well, this was... an experience for certain... that I think every anime enjoyer should experience this one at least once. Yes, the Animation is choppy and quite hard to watch at times, HOWEVER, I'm not going to lie... I wish that we got a better anime for Nora as I honestly think she could have been an interesting character. For anyone wanting to watch but doesn't want to suffer the animation, watch at two times the speed... here is the link- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_UFs2BUiBQ&ab_channel=NerdRush.
Overall 2/10. 1 point for Nora (poor Nora for being in such a show) and 1 point for the cave dancing scene.

It could be worse... it's not a horrible anime in any way really, but it's definitely ranked below any that I've watched so far. I gave it a three due to its sheer blandness. It might be OK, say a 5, if one were stoned, but that's about it.
Oh, joy: ⚠ This review needs more information!
Fine, taking the suggestions given:
Is the story unique? Only insofar as any Mary Sue can be. Bounty hunter on the hunt, and has some superpowers. Not much more to her than that, other than that apparently she could be the next Jem, just waiting for her Holograms, as it were.
If it was predictable, did you enjoy it anyway because you like this genre/set-up? N/A: more or less semi-random events, with only the conclusion (she wins) predictable.
Do you think the art style is fitting for the story? Actuall…

Worst piece of media Ive ever seen outside of shock videos online.
Story 1: When?
Art 1: Why?
Sound 1: Where?
Characters 1: Who? Enjoyment 1: What?
Overall 1: Parts weren't animated, the sound hurt to listen to, the art even in key frames didn't even look good, the story was non nonsensical and even though the characters were forgetful you still tried your best to forget them sooner. I wouldn't even recommend this as a hate watch, even if you like watching bad stuff intentionally its not even so bad its good its just bad in every conceivable metric.

The show is so bad that it is good, but it is like watching a PowerPoint as at some parts it goes from smooth footage to choppy which ruins the atmosphere and the story as you really wouldn't understand what the characters would be doing but it makes it funnier in a way, which adds to the enjoyment as you laugh at it. the story is basic and the characters are somewhat funny.
The dance scene is hilarious and the voice acting is just the best, it is rather bland in some parts and a bit cliche but it adds to the comedic value. would not mind watching this show again.

Time to review a truly legendary anime. I think at this point, most people have seen clips of Nora. It's garnered some real infamy on Youtube. However, to actually watch it in its full 30 minute glory is a different experience entirely!
This last season wasn't the greatest. All the top reviewers are scrambling to write 1/10 and 2/10 reviews for God of High School, SAO part 9 and whatever bland isekai was shat out this season. The sad fact is that if you took all 10,000 anime ever made, those are all probably more accurately in the 4-5 range. You wanna know what real 1/10 shitfest looks like? Welcome back to the 1980s. There's no internet. There's no way to know what anime are good or bad. You pick out a random laserdisk or VHS with a hot anime waifu and hope for the best. Some lucky folks…

This is truly a life changing experience. I truly felt like this manga came to life, the panels were so kinetic. And doing it in colour. Mwah! Wait what do you mean this isn't a manga.
Jokes aside this ova is bad, really bad. So bad in fact that I laughed at it more than most comedy anime. No really, my chest actually hurt after watching this.
You're going to have to watch this with friends, otherwise you won't enjoy it as much.
You don't need sound or music to enjoy this, you don't need to examine the finer details of the "plot" of this, you don't even need to claim nora as your waifu to enjoy this. The entertainment of this show is similar to a car crash. You know it's objectively terrible but you just can't look away. And unlike a car crash this is comedic (unless your into that).…

Yesterday I watched what is undoubtedly the greatest animation ever made. The fluidity of movement in Twinkle Nora Rock Me is disrupted by the intentional two frame per second staccato that the director uses to throw the viewer off-balance. This may be off putting to the more casual viewer, but connoisseurs will be quick to notice that the effect fits perfectly with the themes of the film. The seemingly random nature of the plot perfectly mirrors the shaky jump cuts that have come to define the film.
Nora is ultimately a meditation on the chaos of the universe and the inevitability of humanity’s surrender to it. Nora’s powers, back story, profession, and even clothing change from scene to scene for no reason because Nora cannot be contained. She is immutable change, and as such remains in…

Twinkle Nora Rock Me... well... if you ever wondered what a bad anime is, then here you go. I only watched this because it was constantly in my recommendation on YouTube.
Story: 1/10
The story there was made literally no sense, nothing was explained and everything was poorly executed.
Art: 2/10
The only reason this is getting a 2 instead of a 1 is because they managed to keep the proportions consistent throughout. The characters were really pretty and well designed, the art style was really nice. BUT, my god the animation... absolutely awful. At the beginning there wasn't even any animation?? And throughout the bits where there was animation, it was so jaggy and bad. Really hard to watch.
Sound: 1/10
The song they kept playing throughout this anime was so annoying and bad. The actual vo…

Quick take: It's as bad as they say it is, probably worse. Wouldn't recommend even as a joke.
I really don't have anything good to say about Twinkle Nora. If you've watched Nora, you'll know that the only reason to watch this anime is if you find Nora herself attractive. If you mute Twinkle Nora, you might be able to convince yourself that this is why you've chosen to waste 30 minutes of your life. I'll admit that I was intrigued since this is often lauded as the worst anime of all time. So, I watched it just to confirm.
The real problem lies in that this is nothing like the original Nora. Nora's charming personality, including her tendency to be ditzy was thrown out the window. She's no longer clumsy and suddenly she's found out she has magic psychic powers. I didn't include this as a s…

I watched this while drinking with a friend. The alcohol didn't make the anime any more sensible. All I got that it was either:
1. Very inspired by Star Wars... especially the cantina scene.
2. Rian Johnson and J.J Abrams passed the blunt around while watching this and writing their sequel trilogy... since the main character is pretty much just Rey.
Also best frame rate in an anime ever. Strongly recommend. If I drank more maybe my brain would catch up with it.
The 80s soundtrack is a classic. Is Nora meant to sound like a man or did I miss something? I'll go with I missed something.
Best part was Nora's strange bike/plane sci fi craft. Awesome, wish I had one.

"When Your Anime is Sponsored by Microsoft Powerpoint"
If you haven't checked out this youtube video, well this was how LA came across Twinkle Nora Rock Me! and boy....after actually watching the anime itself, does it deliver on that title.
Twinkle Nora Rock Me! is technically a sequel to the OVA Nora that came out in the same year of 1985 but it follows an overpowered bounty hunter of Nora trying to take down a sorcerer who pretty much owns a lawless land and it's up to Nora to take him down, Max tags along with Nora though wanting the ambition to be dancer one day...no this isn't a non-sequitur though how THAT plot thread was introduced is.
And that in the simplest and ONLY terms is the plot. No seriously.
As for the animation, well this is the main *ahem* reasoning as to why you'd w…

So here we have Nora on her second outing and... oh my....
Well it's not like the first was a masterpiece or anything. It was a poorly written tale of a woman who saves the world from a computer gone mad with only her stereotypical feminine charm and motherly instincts... so yeah... it was really stupid and mildly offensive... but what we have here, well I wouldn't say it's worse than the first, but equally bad for entirely different reasons.
First off there is the story, now for some unknown reason Nora is a powerful ESPer bounty hunter on the trail of the world's most wanted "magician"... and really that's about it... she finds him... they have a lame fight where not much really happens and yeah... that's about it... well there is one other thing, but I'm saving that for the next section…

[Spoiler Warning]
Twinkle Nora Rock Me! is an OVA best watched with friends who like to watch trainwrecks unfold. Essentially, a genderbent Boba Fett named Nora goes to Tattooine to pick up a bounty on a space criminal worth several thousand times this OVA's animation budget. She picks up a scrappy midget in a town of huts after a bar fight with a drunken giant, starts a rock band with the scrappy in a cave, and then uses her impractical flying wheeled machine to lazily drift across the screen until she reaches the house of the illegal space wizard. She uses unexplained and wildly improbable powers such as telekinesis, time travel, and impromptu heart attacks iin order to vanquish this wizard, and then stars as the lead vocalist in the newly expanded cave's rock band.
It takes all of thi…

Twinkle Nora Rock Me! Wasn't terrible, but it's nothing special. Still kept me watching though.
For the time it was made, the art isn't that bad. At the first a lot of things seemed lazy and choppy, but the main character Nora was drawn well.
While I didn't find there was too much dialogue, the music really stood out for the background scenes. Also going along with the music, expect there to be some dancing and musical scenes in this anime.
If you have half an hour of free time and want to see something your friends probably haven't seen- then go watch Twinkle Nora Rock Me!
