Backgrounds and scenery are presented with clarity, and are a sight to behold as well as to analyze. The character designs for Chico and his sister are very appropriate for the tone of the work.
The art and animation are superb, with little to no changes from the first OVA. Each line is masterfully crafted to serve as a building block for the relationship between the two main characters. I will say, however, that it is particularly gripping and will have no problems holding anyone's interest, dealing with topics such as servitude. I would mention more on the dialogue, but it may very well be a crucial spoiler. However, like the other images of this series, what I just said was just merely one interpretation of it. One example that really stood out to me was a toy near the beginning that took on a phallic shape, as if to foreshadow the events to come. The arguably profound imagery and engaging dialogue from the first OVA are still present. By the time the conclusion is reached, you will crave for more on the life of Pico and Chico. Although a conventional means of storytelling is used, especially with regards to the vanilla depictions of "intimacy," it is exceptional in execution. The events of this tale are presented with exquisite pacing and execution- each scene flows seamlessly to the next. It is a journey of exploration as well as self-discovery. Essentially, we witness the growth of an innocent boy who discovers a whole new world to explore. The story takes an interesting twist as it deals with Chico's experiences in learning about the human body and its pleasures, which many viewers could relate to. In this OVA, Pico, the protagonist, has his first encounter with Chico. Pico to Chico is the second title of the renowned Pico trilogy and undoubtedly its turning point. Thankfully, it seems that I was proven wrong. In fact, I was expecting a mediocre work in comparison. From the various comments that I've seen, I didn't have much expectations of this OVA after the experience that was Boku no Pico.
