Release Info

The Chrono Trigger OVA (a.k.a. Jikū Bōken Nūmamonjaa) was a 16-minute special released exclusively at V Jump Festival in 1996 to promote Chrono Trigger.

Plot Summary

In a strange town in a strange time, a festival is about to begin, a festival of demons. Two rather harmless demons try their best to recruit people into their little group, but eventually give up and go off into the woods for a little adventure involving a giant robot cat named Gonzalez that sings about beating him up and getting silver points. Finally they stop Gonzalez and a few familiar faces show up.

My Thoughts

This is jam-packed full of fan service. It's a crazy adventure following Spekkio and Nu as they explore the festival and encounter familiar characters from the game. Even early events in the game are re-enacted here in a spoof style. The Chrono Trigger OVA is a definitely must-see if you're a fan of Chrono Trigger.

Notes

• If you have a device that supports casting, via Chrome my videos can be casted to your TV. The cast icon appears after you click to play a video.
  • Most of the anime on this site was made for old TV resolutions (non wide screen). However, keep in mind that most modern TVs have the ability to stretch the screen. Try that feature if the vertically cropped screen is bothering you. Here's a comparison of standard/stretched screens.
• Is video not playing? Wait a minute or two; depending on your Internet speed it could take a while.
• Is video loading slow? The High Quality videos require high speed Internet. You might have better luck with the Low Quality version. If that doesn't help, try downloading the movie so you can play it in full.

• MP4 plays natively on pretty much everything: computers, TVs, smartphones, tablets, video game systems, set-top boxes like Roku/Apple TV, etc.
  • Try it out! Save this movie to a thumb drive and play it on your TV.
  • As mentioned above in Notes, make use of your TV's stretch feature if the vertically cropped screen is bothering you.
• Another great option is to use Plex to stream MP4 movies from your computer to your TV through your Wifi. It's a free app. Install it on your Windows or Mac, then install it on your set-top box (Roku/Apple TV/Fire Stick/etc.). Just note that Plex will only detect these movies in an Other Videos library because the “Movies” library doesn't detect rare/obscure anime classics.
