Ar Tonelico OVA 1
Someone is flying around, but his aircraft crashes. Meanwhile, two people are fighting a monster, one does the fighting, the other supports him by singing. They then talk about Orica, who can’t sing. They are Ravateel, who sing to support and heal. Orica is standing by herself, trying to sing, but it won’t work. Then she sees the airplane crash and she goes and have a look. She finds the boy riding the aircraft unconcious, and tries to heal him with her song, but he wakes up. The boy introduces himself as Laina. He is very excited when he hears Orica’s a Ravateel, and he doesn’t listen to her when she tells him her song didn’t heal him. Laina comes from the big tower that’s standing in that world, and he has to get back up there, but the aircraft is broken. When he is trying to start it, it falls even deeper, with both Orica and Laina in it. They pass a girl, locked up in an airship who sees them falling. They fell quite deep and it takes them some time to get out of there, but when they do thay notice they’re at Hotaru Alley, the place where Laina wanted to go to have his airship repaired. No engineer wants to go and make it though. When they reach the last engineershop in the town, they see Laina’s airship standing there. The owner of the place, Cruze, found it and brought it there. She only wants to give it back for 100 000 leafs, but Laina doesn’t have so much money. When he and Orica are outside, thinking what to do, a monster attacks the town. Laina is going to lure it away from the town and he tells Orica to get away. He then lures the monster to Cruze’s place and they lure it away in the airship. Orica decided not to be such a coward anymore and she hid in the airship as well. Now they are triying to fly into brastiline, a place which is a mass of energy. Any normal aircraft would break, but Cruze fixed this one so it can handle it. The monster keeps following them though,so Laina goes out to fight it, but he isn’t strong enough. Then Orica decides she wants to help Laina. she also goes out and sings a song out of her heart. It heals Laina and fires up his sword, so he can defeat the monster. Then the airship breaks down again and it starts falling again. The girl who’s locked up in an other aircraft sees it falling again. She hopes it is Laina, who comes to save her.
I really liked this story and I really regret there will be no more episodes, especially because it had such an open ending. This story has a lot of potential, but I guess it didn’t have enough success to make more episodes.
