With the end of the confusing at first but eventually fun ride which is Baccano these three special episodes serve to further polish the story

The Story picks up right after the events in Baccano giving it an new short plot to keep you ... interested while at the same time adding more details to the story from each timeline


Each Character gets a kind of resolution to their story and you would think adding an extra character to the already big cast of character would be wrong but I enjoyed the character so much that I felt he should have been introduced to the original series which of made it even more fun to watch

The animation and music is the same and it gives the same vibe as the original series did very well

in the end this OVA shouldn't be judge as a stand alone or rather a continuation which made the original series even better, a must watch if you liked BACCANO

*Minor Spoilers Ahead*


There is one word that describes the Tokyo ghoul Anime and that word is "Lacking" from the first season through the second season and now this OVA , Which is something disappointing since I like this series very much and the idea of it ,

The Story of this ... OVA follows the Arima Kishou the God like CCG Agent or as the description says the CCG Shinigami through his high school days , now it might say that the focus in this OVA is Arima high school "DAYS" but its not completely true because its focuses more about another main character , Enter Taishi Fura Who is a high school student hell bend on revenge after seeing his former gang getting killed by a Ghoul Called the Lantern Ghoul , so the description is somewhat off

now to point out some good and bad points about this series
now the good thing that I found in this OVA is the animation and background music same thing as the first season and the second season of tokyo ghoul but that is the only good things about this OVA

now when I say lacking I'm not exaggerating at all when I finished this OVA I had so many questioned unanswered to give an example :
why is Arima so powerful at a young age ?
how did he end up working for CCG ?


now this can all be answered in the third season maybe ? but the problems doesn't stop there , there were only two fighting scenes and they were mediocre at best and all others are skipped , now I'm not saying fighting scenes matter all the time but when there is no much character building which required more than one episode because I didn't buy the friendship between the two main characters at all and this is why I say the LACKING , this needed more episode and the fact that we had two time skips in only one episode with 30 min run time doesn't help at all
