Details & Synopsis
Yota Moteuchi has spent so long being unlucky in love that his classmates have given him an unflattering nickname for it. He is in love with Moemi Hayakawa, but Moemi confides that she loves Yota's best friend Takashi Niimai instead. Heartbroken, Yota wanders into the mysterious Gokuraku video store and rents a tape promising a girl who will comfort him. When he plays it through his damaged VCR, Ai Amano literally climbs out of the television.
Ai is supposed to stay only long enough to help Yota recover, but the broken machine that played her tape has altered her. She is rougher, more independent and capable of developing feelings a Video Girl was never meant to have. As Yota keeps trying to help Moemi reach Takashi, Ai becomes the person who understands his pain most clearly, and the assignment she was created to complete turns into a relationship neither of them knows how to handle.
I.G Tatsunoko's six-episode 1992 OVA adapts the opening portion of Masakazu Katsura's manga but gives the material its own compact ending. The result is a melancholy romantic story about projection, rejection and the difference between being created to comfort someone and choosing to love them.
