Synopsis

Two OVA episodes are bundled as DVDs with each of volumes 6 and 7 of the manga.

The first OVA is a prequel story written by the manga's author. Before the beginning of the main story, Rea and Chihiro have already met at a certain place: an outdoor hot-spring bath.

The second OVA takes place after the series (effectively episode 14). The Furuya family finds a mysterious young girl hiding under the household temple.

Background

Episode 13 is bundled with the final blu-ray release.

So, I watched both OVA's and now can write a review on it.
In short: the first is about Chihiro and how he had found a book about resurrection; the second is about Aria and her strange dream (I can't write what was this dream about because it will be a great spoiler for you; for same reason I'm not writing who is Chihiro&Aria).

Story:
First OVA is like a prequel for the TV series. If you didn't watched "Sankarea" yet, I strongly recommend you to start with this OVA -- you'll free from several question and won't say "WTF?!" after the first TV ep. 10/10.
Second is so ...

The second OVA, Episode 14, is best to watch after the series, as that's it's proper place. A weird girl appears under the ...

I’m writing this pretty late, so probably no1 bothers, but maybe for 1 person, it’ll help. There have been many people suggesting to watch 1st OVA (episode 00) before the ‘Sankarea’ anime, but I’d advise against that, because you might have some questions regarding the series but honestly why would you wanna have your questions answered before you even started ur anime. Just watch the 1st 12 episodes (the anime), then watch the OVA and special. Because the 1st ova tells the back story of main characters, so you will not have the ‘Beginning of an anime’ feeling anymore as you already know the main ...
