"Ideals"

Such a certain delusional thing and also inner deep complex which he can't comprehend about seeing other people died in front of him..

Rewatch it the 2nd time :D.. Honestly seeing Aya and Kunikida past along was a nice daily not so routine chit-chat and shows how she keep Kunikida in touch apart from telling his own Ideals.. What a gimmick between seeing these two.. xD

Lmao the chuuya scenes are so random....
Enjoyable OVA considering Kunikida didn't have much screen time in season 2.
The Aya rejection though.

I love this >-< Kunikida has always been my favorite and I'm happy for more screentime . It's so funny how Dazai wants to destory Kunikida's schedule XD (and that "He molested me" scene by Aya... GOLD)

This was great OVA episode overall. I did remember that he didn't played that much role in season 2 and watching him in action felt great. Also I felt nostalgic and refreshed hearing the old OP/ED again after a long time!

Now hyped for the next year movie but this will be very long wait :\

Wow, the art is flawless.

"You don't meet 31 of the 58 criteria I've set out for my spouse" now this was epic xD.

Overall, a nice one.

It was a good OVA. A little more screentime for Kunikida is always appreciated, then again all the characters are likable.

Rejections are harsh, but none as blunt and harsh as Kunikida's. I mean, she didn't even meet half his criteria.
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Wow, packed with schedule!

The diary maker didn't stop him with catching the train, but the bomb did. That girl he saved is forciful.

There's more?!

The bomber knows him? A student who made bomb and Hosoya-san's character caught him before.

Trains vs. her. He chose to save the train and let that lady to save the girl.

lol @ he rejected her immediately.

Kunikida finally getting his shine on was something to watch. Next awaiting in line Agency's president, I guess that suits him as he is a diligent and a precise person who takes everything serious. Aya proposing to him and rejecting her in a diligent manner was my highlight.

I liked the action and Kunikida's heroic stunt of protecting Aya in that bomb incident. I thought Dazai would rescue them but I guess I was wrong, Also I see Chuuya was about to step in.

8/10.

Kunkida is preparing his schedule, Tanizaki informed him that a bomber is out there and Yosano tha she's gonna go shopping. Kunikida went to the train station when he saw a guy giving a suitcase to a girl, he remembered the case about the bomber and threw the case out of there (exploding), the girl is named Aya and joined (by force) to him to look for the bomber. Looking on the train tracks they discovered bombs over them and the bomber appeared installing a bomb over Aya and caughting Kunikida, it's revealed that the bomber is Katsura, an old Kunikida's arrest, Kunikida used his notebook to escape and exploded with Aya (saving the train), but Yosano was near there and acted to save them. Chuya could be seen in the train station and informing what happened. Fukuzawa was in a tea party with Taneda.

Funny OVA, giving Kunikida more screen time, Aya is such a nice girl, what a shame she arrived like 20 years late. Well, the only relevant thing, is that it's revealed that the next leader of the agency is gonna be Kunikida. No real material.

Nice and great looking OVA (as expected from Bones)!

Kunikida really gets his time to shine and demonstrates excellent utilization of his skills both in his power and planning! Also, wow he is 2nd in line to take over (actually makes sense when you consider some of the other senior members XD) well he more then demonstrated he is qualified not only at this incident but many others!

Aya may have used an underhanded and horrific method to get Kunikida to take her along but no one deserves to be blown up and man I really think Kunikida would have really blown up with her just so she wouldn't be alone and that he was sorry he wasn't able to save her thus he was willing to pay the price for him compromising his ideals . . . damn very badass!

And then this OVA ends on a legendary rejection damn Kunikida Aya was ready to be your wife right there on the spot (sure it would have been illegal and confirmed what that crowd thought about you earlier but at least you would both be happy before the sentencing XD) and then you lay out that she doesn't even meet 31 of your 58 Spousal conditions DAMN that was one of the coldest burns I have seen LMAO although I am sure even though she punched you she will find out how to meet the next 27 conditions in the future so she can be your wife so prepare yourself Kunikida since she will find a way to make it happen whether you want her to or not ^-^

I love how they portrayed Kunikida in this OVA. He was so sure he would be on schedule & even sacrificed meeting with the Master Carlyle he so respects, but he rushed to Aya’s rescue immediately, that says a lot about his character. Sure, he’s always on & on about his ideals but he’s always ahead of everyone, quick to react & swift with his decisions. No one else better to be second-in-command! I love how they ended the OVA with Dazai acknowledging just how reliable he is. He may always be finding ways to spite Kunikida, but even Dazai recognizes his capabilities.

Even Chuuya made his appearance ♡_______♡

And loved hearing the beautiful ED1 again♡

Ideals. Weird thing and also something impossible. Nice OVA. Aya was fun to watch and also her relationship with Kunikida. I feel like something big will happen in season 3 and someone dear to Kunikida is going to die. I liked the moment when he hugged the girl to die together with her as a "I'm sorry". It was wholesome and for a second I actually thought the girl was going to somehow die alone.

Nice to see the OP and ED from Season 1...

Kunikida-SAN focused OVA... kind of nice to see he's the one the President has chosen to carry the torch for the Agency in the event of the President's untimely death.

Favorite line: "Of my 58 spousal requirements, you fail to meet 31... I decline." LOL!

F-off that Aya Kouda character, oh it's so funny what she did to Kunikida in the Metro/Train station. So funny!! HAHAHAHAHAHA. Btw I'm not laughing. Once again the double standards of society shows up. Flip it around and see if it flies? Of course not, because no one gives a fudge about males in general.

And why oh why is Kunikida giving her any attention? When she said what she said, he should just had to pointed out to any of the multiple cameras around them and send her packing home.

Fvck off 1/10 because of a stupid one off character. Sayonara.

So a trolley problem episode & Yosano sensei saves the day. It's your average stand-alone episode similar to the first half of S1. Kunikida being the 2nd in command for the agency is a nice touch.

Kunikida as the next President? Sounds about right. Hopefully, not a foreshadowing of something to come in the coming episodes though...

I really liked the way they focused on his idealisms here and connected with one of his hobbies of noting everything down in his memo to save the day. Aya-chan was really adorable but even she failed on 31 criteria points, xD. It's a very tall task to find someone who may even come close to meeting them all, it seems.

Very wonderful episode.
Also, dazai bully lol.

kunikida's my spirit animal. And I love how he uses his ideals.


Though I agree, he has actually good reasons to deny Aya.


  1. Underage loli
  2. False molestation accusation of Kunikida
  3. No respect to elders
  4. Taking matters into her own hands


etc etc.

Kinda nice to see how Kunikida is set up as the next leader, and I agree.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Aya was cute. Kunikida impressively won her over in a single episode.

This OVA leads me to believe this series would benefit from an episodic story format.
