DVD Reviews of Strait Jacket
DVD Review: Not as bad as you think if you've already bought it, READ THIS SO YOU DONT THINK YOU WASTED YOUR MONEY
Summary: 4 Stars
Most of the people who see this movie are going to leave it feeling dissatisfied because the ending just seems to cut off right in the middle of the story without providing any real resolution, as if they had just watched the pilot episode of a new anime. And they would be right to feel this way because this edition of straitjacket is the pilot episode of an anime OAV/OVA or whatever... OVA/OAV's are typically shorter than actual anime series. For example Fullmetal alchemist, Dragon Ball Z, and Yu yu hakusho are all Anime series. Whereas FLCL, AKA Fooly Cooly AKA Furi Curi, The Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Phantasia Animations were all OVA/OAV. For anyone whos seen any of the OVA's (Which I'm gonna refer to them from now on cause it's simpler) aformentioned, (Which I recommend, Although FLCL might not actually be an OVA, the other two definitely are) you might have noticed that they are typically shorter than anime series. It is that way with Strait Jacket, This is the first of the three episodes being produced in English. (the next one comes out in January I think)
That being said, as a movie this was crap, but as a series, it has a lot of potential. However, whether this means the series will be good or not, I couldnt tell you, but given how this one was done, I would think that three more episodes this length (The movie's 76 minutes) probably can wind it down to the satisfying conclusion that this movie didnt have and are worth the risk if you've already bought it, but if not, I would advise that you wait until the other two come out and then look at their reviews.
As a footnote, the ending of this one isnt really a cliffhanger in that it ends right in the middle of a conflict, but it does end without really resolving the main character's main problem
