Mars of Destruction was one of the most insightful OVAs I've ever come across. Everything in it felt meaningful and deep. All the various unique and clever metaphors were astonishing.
With a well constructed, thought-provoking story, interesting characters, and incredible animation, Mars of Destruction is one of the most worthwhile pieces ever in the history of anything.
Story!
The story follows a guy that is forced, by his dad, to fight evil creatures from Mars with a powerful suit - completely unaware of a complex conspiracy. It's really original and intriguing.
What stands out the most about Mars of Destruction is how thoroughly it examined all angles of it's story, leaving no loose ends and providing a fulfilling climax.
Art!
MoD had some of the most detailed settings and character designs I've ever seen. All motions were fluid and life-like. I'd even go so far as to compare it to recent works of SHAFT or ufotable.
Sound!
Voices were amazing, soundtrack was breathtaking, and sound effects always sounded just right.
Characters!
Everything about every character, even minor characters, was thorough - sometimes inspiring. No character was left underdeveloped. They were all realistic and believable.
Girl from AAST was my favorite character. I felt a truly deep connection to her, as if she were a lng lost lover.
Enjoyment!
I loved every second of this masterpiece. It was good clean, quality entertainment. There wasn't a moment of dullness or mediocrity.
Overall!
Well worth a viewing. It was outstanding in every sense of the word.
