Subs are out on Crunchyroll.

It's a lot more relaxing as an episode compared to the tense competition and emotional content from the main series. Lol @ the idol jokes. I knew this would have more humor than usual.

It was good. “They look identical outside of their hairstyles.” can’t believe they actually said it lol.

The idol guy was sort of cringey and annoying to watch, but I did like the parts where Masaki taught the kids. The "ego annihilation" concept was really interesting.

The title was a pun, but not a good one.

I know extra episodes are usually not good, and those—made by KyoAni—are even worse. But, this was too bad even for KyoAni. Or, maybe I am just used to the whole idol thing.

Another Ka-chan calling people extras, Bakugou much, XD
I wasn't really feeling the idol thing but it was good to see the boys again.
Would have much preferred a beach episode though.

It's nice to see these guys again, especially Masa-san, after a while. Noririn's fan was really annoying, but also funny and it's kind of admirable how he stayed true to his devotion. lol The twins still have an attitude problem, but even though it was mean, I laughed with them each time I saw them laughing at his antics in the background. xD Well, it was all canceled in the end, but now the two teams got closer. Nice special!

Daigo is an interesting dude and funny too. The twins were having a blast on his behalf and it was so fun to watch.

Too bad Noririn canceled because I really wanted to see the showcase. But nonetheless the encounter was both beneficial to Kirisaki and Kazemai as they got trained by Masa and learned a bit, especially about love.

8/10.

It was nice to see another Tsurune episode. That idol fan was both funny and cringe at the same time, lol.

Masa-san is still as sexy as ever, of course.

Back then, when I watched the first PV of this Special, I already thought it would be mediocre at best but man, this was really bad I mean, if they wanted an excuse to have the two clubs being together, I think they could have thought of something way better than the Idol thing...

I also didn't understand why they gave so much focus to a character I couldn't care less such as the idol fanboy, what an insufferable guy for God's sake... and here I thought Onogi was annoying but somehow, this guy ended up being as much annoying as him but in a whole different aspect.

Leaving that aside, I have to say that the "ego annihilation" concept was indeed interesting to hear but it wasn't something really remarkable either. Not to mention that the previous explanation of "falling in love" and its relation to Kyuudo made the scene feel forced in my opinion.

That said, this was a pretty bland and disappointing Special overall. 3/10

Idol fan is passionate. After knowing that it's the coach wanting, he's judging him if he's suitable for collaborating with the idol. Thus both teams listening to his lecture.

Love (or rather, the feeling like falling in love) is needed for Japanese archery (Gyuudo)?

Then practice together (no serious fighting).

Then a contact to reject the case for the idol's schedule cannot fit.

OP & ED same as TV series.

Surprised to see a few hate comments here, I thought this was a pretty good episode personally. Somehow, the episode just flowed so naturally from start to finish so props to the team for that.

God, that idol fan sure was passionate and annoying. Couldn't help but snort and cringe multiple times this episode, lol. Masa-san's got a really high tolerance to be able to stand that xD. Seiya with the "they look identical aside from the hairstyles" jab was hilarious too, I was expecting a brawl to light up instantly.

Masa-san's shot and the immediate reactions from that were gold though, I've to say. Always love to see such moments! A little unconvinced by the talk about "love", or rather "falling in love", however but I feel like I kind of got what he meant or maybe not. I don't even know, lol.

Funny how the project just got cancelled anyway, I suppose this is what mostly happens irl anyway. Damn, those shirts though xD.

It was okay...oh and Masaki got it wrong that Shu was never in love before and I am sure he knows that ;-)

Eh... that guy was so annoying!
Please tell me IRL idol fans aren't like that.

This could be really nice episode, but that idol guy totally ruined it.

3 years after I finished the main series, I could watch this OVA.

Masaki teaching the other students was pretty nice. I wonder if they're going to release a second season.

Well, this was a little boring episode to be honest. Also, we didn't get to see Noririn due to her busy schedule. :( That was a big disappointment.

There is always tension between Seiya and Shuu lol! Minato, you playboy! XD

As a fan of kpop idols, I do understand where that fanboy was coming from. Although he is really extreme lmao!

Too bad Noririn couldn't make it. I wanted to see her, too. TvT
