True Love Story OVA

   True Love Story is a 3-episode long adaptation of a bishoujo game into
   an anime. It focuses on a guy who reunites with his childhood
   sweetheart.

   The problem with TLS is that there's nothing special here to recommend
   it. There was no reason to get interested in these characters. The
   creators also gave each of the girls from the game a few scenes, but
   with 5+ girls and 3 episodes, that's a problem.

   I'll rate TLS somewhere between watchable and okay. It's not that
   there's anything overly wrong with this series, it's that there are
   far more interesting offerings in the same genre.

   For a better story in the same universe, check out Fred "Piro"
   Gallagher's [1]envelope, which actually does the right thing by
   focusing on the main two characters.
