History Anime / Ice2007

''ICE'' (also called ''Project ICE'') is a 3-episode {{OVA}} released in 2007, that has a much older feel to it due to its animation style, which has a deliberately dated appeal. The show has been panned for its seemingly thrown-together plot and rather formulaic [[GirlsLove yuri]] slant. For viewers who like a surreal approach, ''ICE'' can still be quite enjoyable, but it will hardly be called a masterpiece anytime soon.
