![]() While Dantalian isn’t necessarily a classic example of the old-school GAINAX template, it is wildly creative – with gorgeous backgrounds, stunning juxtapositions of surreal and classical imagery and occasional bursts of pure GAINAX style (though not in this episode). Medaka Box has the feel of a studio that’s given up, and GANIAX’ involvement in the Evangelion films has been reduced to nothing more than a licensing partner. I can’t help but wonder if Dantalian represents the true last creative gasp of GAINAX, the first anime studio I ever loved and one that will always hold a unique place in my heart. I’m also thinking about its place in history, and that’s especially the case with this OVA, possibly the last anime we’ll see of the franchise. First is the music, which is some of the most beautiful to grace any anime soundtrack in recent years, most especially the gorgeous OP. When I watch Dantalian no Shoka, there are always things aside from the story vying for my attention. But in this case, that’s not a bad thing. As OVAs go, this one definitely falls into the “unaired TV episode” category.
