Hidan no Aria: Butei ga Kitarite Onsen Kenshuu

the OVA episode is about the butei school's students with teacher going on a training. the characters are the same as in anime. we have ecchi scenes too... but there aren't any romantic scenes... let's say there's some horror. but it's like another episode of hidan no aria.

story 8.

it's about our characters going on hot springs for training, but they end up meeting some horror that at first they thought was training XD and what??? it was all just a ........ watch it and you'll understand.. XP

art & sound 9.

it's the same as in anime, it has great art and sounds

... character 9

they all have their own personality even here. they continue with their true selves....

enjoyment 7.

i say: yes it was great. but this OVA episode is just like another episode of anime it should have been a little more exiting and what i didn't like the most was that there wasn't any activation of "hysteria mode".yes i said there was some ecchi things but between girls in onsen XD.

overall 7.

it was good but aas i said a little disappointing. but for them who liked anime "hidan no aria" it's another episode of anime so it's worth watching,, X))

I am writing this because I simply do not believe the other reviews give you any idea of what to expect and are just fans of the show, but lets take a subjective look shall we?

It's bad. I won't say "Holy moly drop this and don't even look back" but it's really pushing what's okay, even for this show. It's an OVA so don't expect development and EXPECT some fan-service with it having an ecchi tag an all, but I am not holding back for this. It is random, you don't get any real idea of what's going on besides the first several minutes which ... are fine and what I'd expect, then it drops. Hard.

*From here on, light spoilers*

There is no conclusion, hell it even seems to be a groundhog day thing maybe but guess what? You don't get to find that out. Does anybody properly question what or why at any point EVEN THOUGH they're descendants of detectives and thieves among other things? Nope. It's dumb. Looking at it from the outside you would quickly see that.

Watch this if you're planning on going onto the 2nd season, that's cool, I've done it this way and don't regret it, I just wish it wasn't so...meh.

A solid 4 for overall score and that's it. I just want people to know what they're in for and even as a first review I think this gets it done.

Hidan no Aria: Butei ga Kitarite Onsen Kenshuu (2011)

In terms of comparing it against the main season, it is actually a very good OVA. The show leaves questions unanswered but not in a way that you need to find out.

It is a fun and exciting one with some great scenes that are well thought out.
In terms of the story, it flows really nicely and gets development.

You actually get a nice side of Kinji that is tolerable for this episode which again is nice to see for a change. You see more of the girls being girls and Aria who is just too ... cute.

As an OVA it does a really great job. If the main season had followed a style like this it would have been so much better.
