* {{Narm}}: It's about zombie fish scurryin' around on little legs. Come on, admit it, it's more than a little silly. It's also very hard to take Kaori's over the top reactions seriously since she screams in practically every scene.

[[spoiler:Infecting humans may be a step up, but then there's the scene in the OVA where Gyo-ified Erika chases after Aki for something like five blocks. It worked with the landshark... yet now it doesn't.]]

** Perhaps in an attempt to remedy this (as Kaori becomes the protagonist of the OVA), the OVA's Kaori reacts much more reasonably. She's shown to be pretty much the only one of her friends that actually does anything ''smart'', she's the only one of the three of them that doesn't turn out to be a total bitch and she's ''extremely'' devoted to Tadashi to the point of [[spoiler: going after him even after discovering he's been infected]]. She even gets SurvivorGuilt at the end!

* AdaptationDecay: For the same reasons listed as "pluses" below, along with horrible CGI, horrible acting and a bizarre sex scene thrown in for no apparent reason other than SexSells. Who exactly wanted more characters? Kaori is annoying and useless, the exact opposite of the heroic and competent(although sometimes too reckless) Tadashi in the manga.

* AdaptationDistillation: The OVA adds a few more characters to the roster, while [[DemotedToExtra downplaying]] Tadashi and his uncle and making Kaori the main character. Given that the original manga only had four main characters and was relatively short and straightforward, it's natural to assume that more characters would be added to give the OVA more meat to the story.
** Kaori herself has parts of her personality removed, specifically her obsessive clinging to Tadashi and her overly sensitive nose, while maintaining the same devotion to Tadashi. Her more negative attributes are shifted to two new characters, Erika and Aki.
** Tadashi retains his levelheaded personality even if his role is downplayed in Kaori's favor. [[spoiler: Their roles are generally switched, as Tadashi is the one who becomes infected by the gas while Kaori is trying to find him. The two don't even spend any screen time in the same room up until Kaori finally finds him at his uncle's house.]]
