Audience Consensus

The OVA is a lighthearted addition to the series that provides more screen time for the characters. However, it doesn't add much to the main plot and is best enjoyed after watching the full TV series. It is a funny good bye to the viewers.

Strengths

  • Funny and soft way to see more of the characters.
  • Includes both major and minor characters in a canon story.

Weaknesses

  • Doesn't build onto the main plot or expand on the characters much.
  • Second episode focuses on tracking people down instead of developing them.
  • Requires watching the full TV series first to understand the characters and context.
  • Doesn't put an end to the anime's ending, acts as something cool added to give more screen time to characters.
