Personal note/opinion: This ova series is right up next to
Darker than Black in my anime list of loves.
At first glance i really didn't think it was going to be anything special, just another one of those average anime series, but i was wrong.
Strait Jacket really had me fully interested for the short 78 minutes that it lasted and the only flaw i can see is that it wasn't longer.
Being only 3 episodes long, it really left me with some unanswered thought, but it was definitely worth the watch, none-the-less.
Perfect, short, series for fans of action and gore :D
