Strait Jacket - Episode 1
This is a new horror-fantasy OVA series by Feel, the same studio of Da Capo. It’s going to be 3 episodes long and has already been licensed by Manga Entertainment.
The year is 1899 and a new experiment has been done that allows humans to use magic. But, when a humans uses magic for too long we will lose his mind and become a monster with special powers. Strait Jackets are created in order to fight this monsters, but they can turn into monster themselves.
Nerin is somekind of police officer. She eventually gets caught in an incident with a monster in a hospital. Since all Sorcerers, Strait Jackets, are on missions at the time she is forced to ask for help for an unlicensed one who happened to be near.
Everytime Sorcerers appear there’s a scene that involves some kind of monster human which seems to be trapped. This probably is the demon that appears in everyone who uses magic and that will take over the persons body once they reach their limit in using magic.
There’s also some kind of terrorists are attempting to cause this monster incidents on purpose. They get angry at the fact that Rayott was at the scene in the hospital and it seems they are plotting to kill him.
Rayott ends up getting contracted by Nerin to become an official Sorcerer.
The production values are top notch. The animation is great, specially during the fights, and backgrounds are really beautiful.
I really liked this episode, but I think this series is going to waste a lot of potential by making just 3 episodes.
