Watch Order. My advice

Hi there,

According to the popular way to call this OVA "episode 26", I highly recommend not to watch it as the 26th episode.
Why ?

It has its place in the middle of the first season.

What's following is not a spoiler but you may not like it, I'll state this episode place in -(un)related to main-story events- with characters you may not know now.
So read slowly, if you feels like it may spoils you, leave this place !

You should watch it a little after Yin met the pink-hair girl (Kiko) who works with the detective (Gai Kurusawa).
Why ? Because in the OVA Yei and Kiko are "really" close and this is exactly the kind of thing which would match at this moment of the anime. Especially when Yin makes her big decision (you'll understand it when you'll reach this ep.)
Finally some characters who can't be in a "26th episode" are in the OVA.

-------------

I won't say that Darker Thank Black first season is spectacular, but if you're the kind of ppl who gets depressed REALLY REALLY REALLY easily after a "dramatical end" (or if you would note this season as 9+/10) and you need a "healing episode" then, watch it as the 26th.
Season 1 is far from getting you hurt I think (We are at lights years from Clannad After Story's end) and its end has nothing really chocking. I even enjoyed the end of the season more than the previous events.

Mmm, I get what you say but it would be too difficult to make people now this episode goes in there chronologically.
Yes, you are right but since the air date tells us it goes after the first season, it's safe to watch it in that order.

In any case, it is a good relaxing and fun anime to pass the serious and dramatic end of the first season. Your kokoro will thank you jaja.

Clannad compared to DTB is utter crap. Anyone can make up some silly fantasy drama by filling the story with plotholes and macguffins. It's a nice show, well paced and some funny moments. Very appealing to a certain lousy section of the fandom but thats that. DTB is perfectly balanced, well directed and written. Art is pretty original, especially by depicting a more realist asian culture with all the chinese, indian,... mixing with the japanese tropes so overly exploited in anime.

I'm happy that you took interest in my comment. Anyway what was compared was purely subjective as it was a personal feeling. I'm happy to know my feelings are utter crap. Have a nice day :)

Ofc Ova would be make after the end of main story. So there's no choice to follow up (except like me who watch it 10 years or more after premiered) thanks for the info bro.
