Minori was definitely not as strong as Naoko, but it did have a longer running time. At times it even seemed more like an animator training project because of the extended action sequences plus the hand drawn truck chase. The last cut would have been amazing if it weren't for a minor error though. I'd still recommend checking it out since it's basically a modern day short OVA with decent production values.

Hoshi no Umi has a number of young animators so we get a lot of flashy action scenes very reminiscent of gif animations. The first episode isn't that great but it definitely picks up by the second one. It should also be interesting to see if the upcoming TV series can reach same level as the OVAs.
