I seem to be back on my search for that one anime gem among the pile of bad titles and it's now taken me to Wild Cardz.

Based on the PlayStation game of the same name, Wild Cardz is about a strike team called the Crown Knights who defend the Card Kingdom with their card based powers.
Our team are Coco Hearts who can use explosions and telekinesis.
Casa Clover who has the muscle.
Joe Diamond who has super speed.
And their leader Sunday Spade who controls the castle defences.
The peace is broken by a giant chess piece destroying the Kingdom so the Crown Knights go out to try and stop it even though it takes them most the OVA to figure out that it is a god damn chess piece.
I find it hard identifying who are villain is meant to be as about a few minutes into episode 2 another chess piece joins in and fights the other chess piece the Knights are trying to stop, further complicating things is a group of ninjas led by a temptress and a very racist Chinese caricature. There's also a joker who seems to just want to watch the chess pieces fight.
My brain is exhausted after all that and the ending tries to pull a cliff hanger when one character appears to be dead.
The dub is awful, no one can act, lines get botched, voice editing is bad, whoever voiced the Chinese guy should never be hired again and Apollo Smile is also in this. (Ulala from Space Channel 5, the so called "live action anime girl")
Final Verdict: This is just messy action story telling, it's hard for me to get invested with no clear villain, so it makes the OVA drag it's heels when there's no investment to be had in the battle, not helped by god awful voice acting.
I need a drink.
