One of the original OVAs to come out in the mid 1980s, Radio City Fantasy is quite experimental with its premise involving two teens with artistic talent that get immersed in each other's fantasies as it largely relies on visual storytelling to explore its two lead characters, accompanied by some catchy 80s new age music tracks to make it seem like an extended music video. Almost reminds me of some other OVAs through the 80s and early 90s that milked this presentation style for OVA releases and have to wonder if this is the origin of that trend during this era. The story offered is mostly pretty simple to follow if you carefully observe the events unfolding outside the fantasy sequences. But if you have an interest in wanting to dabble into the earliest OVA entries within anime, this is a decent time killer.
