----------------------------------------
So the gang visit the onsen inn which is haunted by a little boy. Jeanne is the first victim as the picture shows:

The ending is a little weird so I'll watch it again when the subs come out.

Of course, Aria is jealous of the other girls big busts and gets angry in the hot spring. Ecchi wise, no nipples but do get a couple of butt shots, including Aria. A few screens:

In all, pretty much a side story with some comedy and little horror thrown in there.

All in all it's like I though the author totally betrayed the crowd with fan service as what he claimed never happened.

I also though the kid thing in the following,

was taken from the Grudge movie and that the kid at first with that mask looked like Toori from A-Channel when she was wearing her mask during the festival arc.

About the fan service,
  • Aria’s ass in the spoiler (NSFW)
    was the best and full frontal and chest too. I swear I see nipples for some time. Not sure due to quality but it almost seems they are there but not really.

  • Shirayuki fan service in the spoiler (NSFW)
    was damn fine considering we see her breasts really well there.

  • Reki’s fan service in the spoiler (NSFW)
    was kept short with the wolf but her body is shown far better than in the anime series.

  • The teacher along with the innkeeper in the spoiler (NSFW)
    has both good fan service of their bodies of whom are mature, however I tend to think that Riko is pretty mature too.
At least we get to see in this OVA comedy and more risky shots of the characters. Plain and simple. I was all in it for Aria's ass and some Reki. I am just wondering How in the heck they got pass through all this because it’s obvious this is all a heavy curse but the only ones able to kill it off is Shirayuki and Jean.

BTW Image Stitches done in the spoiler (NSFW)
the quality is bad but Aria is there with Shirayuki.

I don't get what happened. I watched more then over 700 fanservices already so I am tired of it. The special was okay.

I suppose I forgot this is a hot springs special and should not have expected much. That is disappointing, Ive been reading the light novels and hoped for consistency of character. One example is Shirayuki. In past episodes whenever any girl clings to Kinji like Riko, Shirayuki would start attacking the girl. Sadly it does not happen here which breaks character.
I vote dislike.

Meh kinda disappointed but it could be worse,first part was bad the only good we got at least some good look at Aria ass and the other chicks,the second part was better since i am a big fan of terror so i enjoy it even that the end was like WTF.

Regular extra episode it could have been done well better.

Btw anyone else think of Silent Hill at the beginning with the fog and the radios getting fuck up??

As a reference, yeah that too. So it's Silent Hill + The Grudge references, anymore?

A pretty average OVA tbh, I found this worse than the actual series, but what you can expect from a hot spring episode. Kinda disappointed with this OVA but nevermind. Ending of the OVA was so random :S, what happened to Aria and Kinji -.-, aside from being alright at the end and having a foggy recollection of what just happened. That Ghost boy was so :/ no background as to why he did those things at all -.-.

The OP and ED were good though :). 6/10 for this OVA

I don't understand what this episode is trying to do. Fanservice? There's one hot spring scene, and a short one at that. Horror? While the victims are a bit disturbing, it wasn't all that scary, it was just surprising. The writers should have picked one of the two and focused on it instead of making this half-finished disappointment.

But then again, I really shouldn't be surprised considering it's an OVA for Hidan no Aria.

I don't really get what happened here. I remember watching some fan service at the hot springs and a plot that ended up being a bad dream in the end. What even happened to this special training of theirs?

I agree that this OVA felt like a waste of time.

My guess is that it is trying to get sales for another season, which probably won't happen.

The first season was much better than this. Aside from seeing Jeanne as one of the group, there really wasn't any progress here. I'd much rather see them work on a second season.

Typical OVA where the cast of the series stays in an inn.

Nonetheless, I still enjoyed it a lot! (could have been better but it was alright) Oh, and I loved the creepy theme to this special! hehe :D

I dont get it, what happened? What are they trying to pull off and tell us? I mean, the special kind of ended just like that.

Well, putting all of that aside <.< We have a pretty nice episode there, plenty of fan service, and i love the humour as well. Especially the bullet proof rubber ducky part. Reki is kind of cute in this special as well. Feels very different from the reki you normally see.

I agree that this did feel like a waste of time to watch.
But, it also felt as if the producers put this together because they were obligated to produce
one more episode rather than add anything new or otherwise to the original storyline.

Even the FAN SERVICE felt like it was lacking SEX APPEAL.
(But showing the teachers tied up did look......kind of hot.)

The little boy peeping in the corner honestly creep me out.

Why does the OVA have to be a horror story.

I agree that its a waster of time and should've instead put something better like a continuation of the series rather than put crap on it.

This was my first thought when they got back to the inn too.

Okay, so except for the unsatisfying ending of the mystery, it wasn't that bad. I mean considering this is Hidan no Aria we are talking about. Had a little fanservice and comedy every now and again, not to mention Reki got quite some screen time. Sure, it was blatantly stupid, but I actually had fun. So bad it's actually good. 3/5.

Nah it was a mix of Grudge and Silent Hill parody. In where the end I figured out is that they are stuck at this place.

My bets are eventually someone dispels it and seals the creepy lady with the boy. Notice the seals were broken in that cursed room. Just that they wanted a Silent Hill ending type. You are stuck till you solve the curse thing.
