I'm quite confused...i watched all of steel angel kurumi (the 28 episodes) and then continued to steel angel kurumi zero. it was an entire different story line with only the steel angels being the same. the world is different the guys are different, and there is a new character. Even the humor is gone. its like a whole different series. So what gives, what is the relationship between them?
Steel Angel Zero is an OVA (Original Video Animation), a very short animation that went straight to DVD. It probably was written because Kurumi was so popular, and the producer wanted to check the waters for whether they should make a second season. It's pretty hard to keep track of what anime is which, especially in the more popular series. If you think Zero is worth zero, try Steel Angel Kurumi 2 (anime, 12 episodes), and Steel Angel Kurumi Encore (OVA, 4 episodes) as well.
