Synopsis — from MyAnimeList

Two OVAs released with the 8th and 10th volumes of the original novel. They fall chronologically between the first and second seasons.

Audience Consensus

Audience reception is moderately divided, primarily due to the OVA's heavy reliance on fan service which some find enjoyable and others find excessive and off-putting. While some appreciate the continuation of the series' humor and character interactions, many feel the OVA's content is largely skippable and lacks narrative significance.

Strengths

  • Consistent and good art quality
  • Maintains character personalities from the series
  • Good voice acting, consistent with the first season
  • Provides background for some characters and situations
  • Humorous moments and fan service can be enjoyable for fans

Weaknesses

  • Excessive ecchi/fan service, bordering on uncomfortable for some
  • Plot feels largely unnecessary and disconnected from the main series
  • Focus shifts away from main characters to less relevant side characters
  • Some character voice acting was awkward (Hellscythe mentioned)
  • Repetitive art and sound from the main series, lacking innovation
