Kekkai Sensen & Beyond: Zapp Renfro Ingaouhouchuu!!/Baccardio no Shizuku

This OVA contains 2 side stories. The first one about Zapp, second one about Chain

As it is not linked to the main plot it is comedy oriented, and did a great job making me laugh as I Always do watching Kekkai Sensen.. The characters and art are the same, so you can just enjoy it like any other episode

In no way does this OVA make the characters look like "clowns", they are not put in overly Dangerous situations so the OVA just shows their comedy gimmick as we already know them, they are funny as they are.

Nothing outstanding, just another good episode of Kekkai ... Sensen

like most OVAs and specials, they have little to nothing to do with the main plot line, its kinda just produced for the audience as something to watch in the meantime, its usually nothing too serious.

thats exactly what this OVA is.

it consists of two plots, the first half is Zapp fending off hoards of monsters because of a dispute with his love interest. The second half involves an extreme drinking contest between a monster and Chain.

because its an OVA, nothing is really supposed to be taken seriously so the plot is very linear/predictable with little depth to them. its just supposed to be an ... opportunity for the audience to see their favorite characters be "wacky" and "zany" without messing with the main plotline. while that might not be everyone's cup of tea, its not necessarily a bad thing if its done well, and i think it was done will. it was funny (more like goofy with the overexaggerated facial expressions etc.) and it was light hearted. the quality of the OVA is solid too so its not like there was no thought put into it.

id say its a good change of pace if youre trying to break up any longterm animes youre watching.

We have few short stories here centering around our main leads.

In the first, Zapp gets assaulted and then publicly shamed by his love interested who further summons and army of weirdos to kill him. Our other mains save the day with their trademark moves and we concude that most women are assholes. The pinnacle of this story being cenzored, pixelated middle fingers, shown by the evil women, of course. Great.

In the second, we witness the goddess herself - Sumeragi Chain - drink more alcohol than ever before, having amazing drinking battles with men 3 times her size. Apparently, she saves the world once again ... with her abyss of a stomach because Godzilla's frozen brother is on rampage. This story is amazing because her opponent has to pee during the competition so he just takes out his dick and pees with such pressure on the spot that he could work as a tank truck for the local volunteer fire department. Our main characters won't stay hopeless against this cornering situation. There is the saying "fight fire with fire", just guess the rest.

This... thing or special or whatever, was supposed to be a comedy (my best guess), but all it really did was make all our characters look like clowns or side characters from Gintama - which is pretty much the same thing. Am not pleased.
