A second thing: the OP and ED. To be honest, I was afraid they were going to be hard, fast techno-like music (I hate techno :P). The OP is rather slow, and its rhtyhm is set by a piano. The images are fantastic, even if I regret the use of CG once more, especially for the card revolving in the mirror. It's such a shame to ruin a good idea like that. The scene of the doors opening to reveal the chamber where the Twin Sala await is breathaking. The music itself has a certain originality, and surprisingly enough it easily sticks into the viewer's mind. As to the ED, I'm going to have to use the word beautiful again. It's very simple, no animation, just a scene that slides from left to right, accompanied by a soft melody, a bit like the ED of the Fuma no Kojiro OVA.

A third thing: apparently, the episodes follow the manga very closely. This means that the flaws in the manga's scenario are visible here too, but it also means that we should be at last allowed to watch the mythic scenes of the Hades adapted in animation. What's more, the flaws in the original scenario are more than balanced by the revelations of the Hades Chapter. With a bit of luck there won't be any useless digressions and we won't have to bear with too many delays. I really feared the use of Silver Saints, but it looks like the OVA's script writers were wise enough to limit their intervention to the strict minimum.
