Alright I feel like I'm writing this review at a random time but I've watched this anime 2 or 3 times and it is my favorite anime and honestly I liked it so much I just have to write a review on it.

Story: 9/10
This anime is quite surprising. Many people will think that its just a fan-service bit but I feel like its much more. The story is about a guy who has to make decisions or he feels pain and suffering. Right away I was intrigued and this feeling did not let me down. Its a story about the main character basically given quests ... to do to get rid of his absolute choice curse. I honestly started rooting for the guy to get rid of this and he has some funny experiences along the way to get rid of this curse. While left unfinished I was really excited the entire time.

Art: 10/10
The art is great. I like everything about the art-style.

Sound: 10/10
The music is good and I for one download (almost) all anime songs. The cool thing about the OP and ED for this show is they are distinguishable. I have around 500 Japanese songs and when Nocoume starts playing its OP/ ED I know.

Character: 10/10
I love these characters. Chocolat is fun, Tsundere-chan is perfect and loveable, everyone's-onee-san is great and overall the entire cast works great in this show.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I laughed a lot in this show and each episode had me craving the next. Lots of anime are listed as comedies and many have just a couple of funny moments but this one had multiple and some really good moments at that.

Overall I loved this anime its my favorite anime and I would recommend this to you for some decent-story-ecchi all around good fun.

As my grandpa always says: "An ecchi isn't quite complete until there's a swimsuit episode."

Story: 2/10
This is your typical run-of-the-mill swimsuit episode! The 4 main females in a swimsuit contest. So the story this contributes to the original series= none! Personally I loved the series and I actually thought the original series had good story despite the obvious fan-service that was going on. So if you want that swimsuit episode as bad as my grandpa, this OVA is for you.

Art: 10/10
Art is great... if you know what I mean.

Sound: 10/10
A perfect 10 here. The corresponding musics are good. The intro and outro music are the ... same as the original, and I personally have them on my playlist. Its all the same and is good.

Character: 10/10
Lisara and Ryousuke and all the other character's hold up and you don't get a ruined vision of them by watching this OVA.

Enjoyment: 8/10
If you come into this OVA expecting a fan service only episode, you are getting everything you should be expecting. And your enjoyment will vary with how much you like fan service. I liked it, and I'm happy I experienced this episode, mainly because of my grandpa's wise words.

Exactly what I wanted.

First a short spoiler free summary:
Angel Beats was a great anime in my opinion and was both funny and emotional at times. What we do understand is that the "front line" has been doing these missions against Angel for a long time. Although since the series is so short we don't see many of these missions that they would pursue. These specials show us more missions that the front line attempts to do to get Angel to call for God.

Story: 10/10
I'm glad that these specials were exactly what they are. They are good for some laughs, and I am glad they did ... not try to make these episodes emotional. If they tried that I'm sure that it may have ruined the series. These fun episodes give us insight on how they have been living their life for so long in this afterlife world.

Art: 10/10
The art is beautiful, just like it was in the original. The art style of Angel Beats is what I'd consider the HD Anime style, the characters looked great, the scenes looked great the intensity gauge in the first episode looked great, theres nothing bad about it! Perfect.

Sound: 10/10
To start off the characters all fit their roles perfectly. The sounds effects sound perfect. Additionally the first episode of this special deserves bonus points for the intensity that the voice actors must have projected their voice.
Next we have the intro and outro music. Its the same as it was in the original. Personally, I thought this music described the series perfectly and, the intro specifically is one of my favorite songs to date.

Character:
As I said in sound the characters voice actor's play their parts perfectly, making these specials funny and fun to watch. If I was in their position, I could see me becoming one of them and having fun/ doing anything to try and 'beat' Angel.

Enjoyment:
I had a lot of fun watching these episodes. I would include these specials in a rewatch with friends for sure. It may not be what you want to watch directly after finishing the season if you are still crying from the last episodes, but if you liked Angel Beats and you thought it was a funny series like I did, you will enjoy these specials for sure.

*Spoiler Free*

Now this is my first review but counting the amount of reviews for this show I figured I had to pitch in. First what I want to say, is that if you are looking for a good story with strong character development, you are looking in the wrong place. This show is for the light hearted and/ or for people who want to relax when they watch this anime.

Story: 3/10
As I said above the story is weak. As you see in the show's description, it's an ecchi which includes young girls. The cover picture that you see for this show is basically as much ... story as you can hope to get out of this anime.

Art: 9/10
The art style is good! Personally, I am planning to watch animes with what I consider "good" art styles. So I am talking about the new, kind of "in" art style that I feel a lot of new anime's are going for. I rated it an 9 because there isn't anything outstanding when you watch it.. there aren't many moments where you sit back and you're like "damn". Its just a good, HD anime and I feel is was very appropriate for this show.

Sound: 9/10
The character voice actors are great. They are acting as young girls and honestly, you would think that these voice actors are young girls just like they are in the anime. So that's all good. The older the person as well, you can definitely feel that age difference in their voice.
Secondly the actual music, intro/ outro. I really enjoy these songs, they are the type of songs that I could listen to, to help me wake up. They are up there in my favorite songs and better yet, they are sung by the girls in the anime! When you listen to them, you can really feel the presence of this anime behind them. It sounds like a bunch of young girls having fun and feeling young. For some of the anime songs that I have in my playlist, I don't remember the anime that they came from. But when you hear these intro/ outros you can tell right away they came from Chu-Bra!! Overall good sound and there isn't much more I would expect.

Enjoyment: 8/10
I enjoyed this anime for sure. It was fun and light hearted and amongst all the other things I have going on in my life, watching this anime is like a nice break from all of that. I'm not a mega critic like some people, such as I don't see myself rating an anime low unless I really really disliked it. I enjoy all types of anime and this one as well. Although despite this, I do not see myself watching this anime again in the future. Its an anime that you can have fun with the first time around, but after that I cannot see myself wanting to come back for seconds.

Overall: 7.5/10
If you aren't a strict anime critic and you are one of those people that can enjoy the little things in life, this anime is for you. If you watch it and come out hating it, it truly is your fault. I think going into this anime you should 100% know what you are getting into especially after reading this review. To recap you are getting into an ecchi, little story, little girls having fun for the sake of having fun kind-of-anime. No surprises there.
