This will be a very short review. This OVA is very stylised and different. From 1987. The animation still holds up very well. It has a different art style, so it maynot be attractive to everybody. It has great music, very jazzy. I enjoyed the ending song/piece. There isn't much in characters. We have Toru who is the main guy and the Ghost Train X. There are others, but we really don't know who they are. Apparently Toru has some connection to this mysterious ghost train. We find out that he has ESP and his Alpha waves can control the Ghost Trains Beta waves. There are some characters with nefarious ideations that I believe had the intention of building a weapon. Check it out if you want to see something different. It's artsy. Not your typical formulaic anime.
