Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai: Relay Shousetsu wa Ketsumatsu ga Hanpanai (2012)

A great OVA/13th episode that is absolutely hilarious.

Great to see strong interactions between characters that can relate directly to the main show. It is also great that it continues the flow of the story more as a continuation. I did really enjoy this segment it was a great way to finish off the first season.

The art is a great standard and does it a great service as expected.

Sound again is great throughout. Really strong on sound this show is.

Characters do continue to develop more and more through this. It is ... great to see things getting continued as such. They definitely checked to ensure they didn't make any gaps.

This was very enjoyable and I would, of course, say watch the first season but once you see this move onto the next one you are in for a great ride.

this review might be short otherwise lets get into it

Story: there really is no story the Neighbor's Club basically all goes around and makes a story about Kodaka in a fantasy type setting in the story with everyone taking part in his story that's about it

Art: art is the same as the anime so the art is really well done in this

Sound: Op is the same as the anime while the Ed is different from the anime decent but yeah otherwise the voices are good.

Character: Kodaka is the main male lead of the anime and well hes a pretty good and chill male lead ... just trying to make friends again a pretty cool and just overall chill guy. Yozora is one of the female leads and she is well she acts really tough but she also is a pretty good person again though she really can get at a lot of the member's but a good character. Sena is the other female lead and well she really thinks all high and mighty of herself but she kinda is a airhead sometimes but she is a pretty sweet person. Kobato is the sister to Kodaka and well she really likes really bother and also has a persona that she does otherwise pretty odd but good character. Yukimura is another supporting character and well is the trap of the anime the guy dresses in girls stuff so there you go otherwise again another sweet person overall. Rika is scientist and well she is a really perverted person and really out there with the perv stuff like that but she can be really cool and stuff but a perv at best. Maria is the priest of this anime and well after awhile she gets the affection towards Kodaka like the other girls but she is a complete airhead to a lot of stuff also the fact she falls for stuff so easily otherwise a nice character. (pretty much copied my review of the characters from the 1st season sense they all pretty much at the same here).

Enjoyment: Things that i liked: the comedy is really well done here and the jokes for me still stick from when i watched the1st season for sure. Things that i didn't like: honestly everything was good with this personally i didn't find anything that i didn't like.

Overall: this gets a 8 out of me the OVA managed to pick the jokes damn good form the anime and also this being really funny at the same time honestly id say watch this OVA if you wanna honestly don't think it would hurt if you just went from the 1st season than went to the second one but a OVA worth the watch for sure.

Some OVAs seek to give a series a greater sense of conclusion. Other OVAs are an excuse to turn a series into Hentai. This OVA doesn't seem to quite do either of those. Haganai's OVA is simply another episode, and one which neither advances the story line nor brings any character development to the table; it's purely fan service and I emphasize- for fans only. If you aren't unhealthily attached to any of the main characters in the main series, then this may not be worth your time.

Animation:
The animation quality is on par with the main series, though you're going to get some really wacky ... outfits and (very ecchi) mechs? There's a serious effort to parody other series, which I'll let the viewed discover for him/herself, sometimes embedded in the visuals. The series' only absolution is the liberal airtime given to Sena. As in the main series, expect significant ecchi - though this one goes pretty close to full H.

Sound:
You have the same OP as the parent series and the VA cast is identical as well. They add a new ED sung by the cast, which has an annoyingly-repetitive main melody.

Story:
We find our loners club on a typical day where they decide to take turns writing a single short story. This soon turns into everyone's individual fantasy involving Kodaka as they churn out the most in-cohesive story ever written. While certain parts are amusing, the overall plot is quite lame and contributes absolutely nothing to the overall series. I'll admit I'm a bit biased as I was hoping for a bit more relevance given the less-than-stellar ending to the parent series.

Character:
While each character does get air time, their interactions are as you would expect from the main series. Their interactions are still fun to watch, but I think the series missed a great opportunity to give some more background on Rika/Yukimura.

Value:
Other than for base entertainment and/or fan service, this doesn't add much to the parent franchise, for dedicated fans of the main show only.
