Munto

Review
Yumemi has a strange ability to see the Magical Kingdom in the sky. Munto, the Magical King, has traveled down from that world to get Yumemi's power. The Magical Kingdom is all out of Akuto energy, and if nothing is done, both worlds will be destroyed.

Some of the scenes, and even some of the characters, should have been left out. They only make the already vague plot even more perplexing. Some character's roles aren't fully explained and don't get enough screen time to make much of an impact. The best part of this OVA is the side story involving Yumemi's friend, Suzume, and Suzume's boyfriend.

Munto is vusually appealing with fluid animation and has consistent artwork, which is to be expected from an OVA. There are a couple really good, but really short action scenes. The background music was quite good.

Fifty minutes wasn't enough time to develope it's characters or story and the ending felt rushed - Yumemi just suddenly decides to give Munto her power. I couldn't help but feel a little disapointed with Munto. It's not bad, it just doesn't amount to very much.
