Blinded by the incredibly bright explosion, the three find themselves transported to what is known as the Borderland.

This is one fucked up anime. I guess that the reason they made just three episodes was to promote the manga and convince you to buy it. I read somewhere that this came bundled with the limited edition packages of the manga's 12th, 13th and 14th volumes.
On their own the three episodes will blow your mind and leave you wanting more, but I would not consider them something worth watching unless you have a way to buy the manga because you will be left with a million questions.
This OVA definitely needs more episodes or they need to make a brand new anime with more episodes as there is potential for a lot more. Because of that I rate this poorly at just a 6 out of 10.

I've only seen the first two episodes of this show and I wish there were more. Imagine combining elements of Btoom!(survival) and elements of No Game No Life(games) together. I'm not sure when/if more episodes are coming out, but if they do, I will be sure to watch them.

I've watched all the episodes it has so far and this anime shows much promise. I normally don't enjoy the second episode more than the first but with this anime I did. I'm very picky when it comes to anime, I like something interesting, that has a certain air about it and while the first episode is what I want to get me hooked, I want the anime to continue to make me want to watch it more and more with every episode. This anime does that. It'll make you wonder "What's next? I can't wait!" Also, every character is unique and has a special ability about them which makes them useful to the group. A lot of anime's have the one character that is useless and stays useless the whole way but this anime may very well be different. I recommend watching it and I'm someone who rarely recommends anything.
