This is animated way better than it deserves to be. Playing card themed heroes battle ... who are these people? Who is this guy with bad grammar and a flying drill? Who is the leggy wolf lady? What's up with the Cookie Monster-eyed ninjas? Who's this Joker guy or the Red Lobster guy? More to the point, who are these heroes, zipping around, crashing vehicles, fighting gargantuan chess pieces? Who knows? The world-building and characterization in this brief OVA are as shallow as a playing card is thick. A bit more meat on the story's bones wouldn't have hurt. The world of table-top-game-themed heroes and villainsis, admittedly, unique, but it's not really enough to engage the viewer. Maybe if one were a fan of the manga or the video game this would resonate more. Perhaps that was the idea behind the OVA, to give fans a chance to see these characters clash and shout in a big ol' brawl.
But if you're not a fan, what's this OVA got going for it? Not a heck of a lot, frankly. With zero story or character depth, what else is there? The English dub has subpar acting. The character designs are standard 90s magical girl stuff. The music is unmemorable. There isn't a lot of fan service, if one's seeking titllation. So, why watch it? Well, the quality of the animation is actually really, really good. The action is dynamic and sometimes quite inventive. So, give it look if all you want to see is nicely animated girls run and punch stuff for an hour.
