Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lover's Rain epitomizes the 'shūmatsu' trend of 1980s-90s OVAs—self-contained tragedies designed to milk nostalgia from existing fanbases with minimal runtime investment.
The undead army's design recycled modified mecha assets from the TV series, a common cost-saving practice in OVA production that accidentally created the 'corrupted technology' aesthetic fans now celebrate.
