Anime: Fake

Animation:
Depending on what animation is talking about here, then I would say a seven. I do believe that everyone has a certain drawing style, making it unique and well in it's own way. It does look a little bit more like old style animation, but that doesn't really bother me in the least. As for what's going on in the background, I'm pretty sure that it's not just someone standing totally still. From what I remember, that wasn't an issue for me.
Sound:
The sound wasn't too much of a problem for me. It's just that when you switch from the dubbed to the subbed in the middle of watching it, the Japanese is booming, depending on how loud your TV or whatever you're watching it on, be it the computer or a Play Station rather than a DVD player, is turned up loudly in the first place.
Story:
It really is a good plot. It's based off of the second volume of the manga, so it really depends on how much you enjoyed that, assuming you've read them. It's simply a cop story, but if you like things like crime shows, then it's likely you'll enjoy FAKE. I also have to add that the second volume of the FAKE manga was my least favorite of the seven, but I still found it to be a very entertaining thing to watch.
Character:
There isn't much character development, but that's only to be expected since it's only the second manga it's based off of, while there's seven all together.
The main characters are Dee, Ryo, Bikky, and Carol, though they did change Carol's name to something similar but different. Dee and Ryo are more so the main characters than the other two are.
Dee is basically the hot-headed of the two, sort of impulsive in his own way. He cares about Ryo very much, and gets angry if someone injures him or hurts him emotionally.
Ryo is Dee's partner, more new to the scene as he has practically just joined the NYPD. It seems like he has feelings for Dee, but not as strong as Dee's feelings for Ryo. Ryo's name is Randy, Ryo being his Japanese name, with him being Asian-American.
Bikky and Carol are the other two characters.I believe Bikky is eleven and Carol is thirteen, but I could be mistaken. In the manga they both have a crush on each other, though that's not really a part in the FAKE OVA, those two just being shown as basically best friends.
Enjoyment:
Overall, I liked it a lot. It really is a treat for yaoi lovers. Actually, not exactly yaoi, but more shounen-ai in the OVA, the manga being yaoi.
If you do decide to take a gander, I really do think you'll find it interesting if that's some of the things you're into.
