I think is quite hard to appreciate without the novels. Because these specials were done as a bonus to the novels rather than a full independent story (They decided to animate only the symbolic scenes of the novel). The real porpoise of these shorts is to make the viewer curious about the novels and end buying them ^^;;

But I do think is a good strategy to release this short episodes, I just wished it had more animation and less "not animated tricks". Now let's wait for a new episode release.

That's quite disappointing to hear because the source material seems interesting enough especially revolving around war situations to warrant a full series. Oh well, there's nothing we can do about anyway.

This did precious little to patch together what little story we have going with the ONA, which is rather unfortunate. I was hoping this wouldn't just turn into a marketing ploy...but, well, that would seem to be the case.

It just brought up more questions that ultimately won't be answered. Still hoping that this will receive a full adaptation somewhere down the line. These meager minutes of animation leave me feeling incredibly unsatisfied for the amount of time that we had to wait.

this episode shows a lot more promise than episode 1, but how much can really be developed in such a short format? funny how many mini anime are being made these days - seems to work well with comedy, but with other formats?

I feel like this could be cool but that the short episodes are going to kill it.
Also was nice to see that the first episode was just some action form later on, that really confused me lol.
