User Pageplant (Score: 7/10):
Compared to Yuria's OVA, Toki's is far better, both in terms of additions to the original story and the overall presentation. It is a beautiful experience for the fans of this series. Sara's character fits nicely in the narrative and the more detailed fight with raoh is alright, although it definitely lacks the style of the original. Again, I don't like Raoh's voice actor and I'm not completely sold on the art style, but overall, if you really like the series, this is not a bad watch. Just don't expect it to be better than the original and don't expect it to change your opinion onthe franchise. 7.5/10!
