Funny OVA episode.

This one featured more of Zeno which is a good thing since we haven't seen much of him from the original season. Then there's the onsen...that actually looks real good tbh. I think this OVA had quite a bit of fan service for the ladies though lol

And that squirrel is still eating crazy like usual.

Also interesting to see more of Ki-ja's past.

Really nice adaption of the Onsen extra chapter. The only thing I missed was the 'back-wash train' that was in the manga :D

And of course a lot of fanservice (not that I complain :D).

I hope this was the prelude to a second season. I follow the manga and it has so many great arcs and characters that I want to see on the screen.

I really liked, no, I loved it when it was about Onsen extra chapter ( Jaeha & Ki-ja moment).
Thank you so much!

Interesting to the say the least. I had hoped for some Hak x Yona moments like in the finale, but was disappointed.

The end credits made me feel this was a prelude to a Season 2, but since it hasn't been announced it's difficult to think that.... I really hope a season 2 does come.

But if not, i'll just go back to reading the Manga.

Good OVA.

Fall season, and it's after the final ep. of TV series. Finding Onsen. It seems like every dragon has their secrets physically. Hakuryuu's father, who was ex., gave that scar... Ryokuryuu is trying to be considerate as a fellow dragon, to the extend that he "fought" the childhood guy. Even though the real reason for not wanting to bath together was different (and funny).

Young Hakuryuu couldn't see his father after his birth, and secretly saw him, who lost the power. This OVA kind of deepened the relations of guys, especially 4 dragons).

"Egao no Rensa (笑顔の連鎖)" by Cyntia as ED while continue traveling (and "grimps" of cousin guy). I saw that one of Cyntia members also voiced a character.

Finally subs out. All i ask now is an S2 or OVA about Jaeha and Zeno's past. You though Shin-ah and Kija's was painful and had a lot of feels? Well sorry to say but no.

OT: lol this OAD was so good. Dat comedic moments. Based Jaeha.
The world shall know the truth soon.

I thought they would adapt the chapter about the "dragon's scale" that was skipped over, but this is even better. Kija's backstory always gets me, it's quite heartbreaking yet touching at the same time. It was sad when Kija's father apologized and said that he wanted to touch Kija in his final moments. We also get to know about Jae-ha more, how he's a really considerate and perceptive person. It would be nice if Jae-ha's backstory gets animated into an OVA as well, since we see glimpses of his past in this one.

A more relaxing atmosphere in this OVA and some information about Kija's past.

Still hoping for a season 2 someday.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

A good ova, glad they animated this. Hopefully they animate Jaeha's past at some point and a season 2! Honestly, if they use the next two big arcs for the second season, it could outdo season one. fingers crossed! ;)

I love how Ao is constantly doing something in the background.
This squirrel is so cute (and most likely one of the reasons why Yona's group will have a food shortage...always stealing food when there is a opportunity).

Yona looking cute as ever here

Some background on Kija here. All the white dragons were determined to serve the red dragon king whenever they are needed. Kija's dad was so determined to be the one that he tried to kill his own son. Well, if he didn't want his son to do it, then why even have a kid? Why even marry and have babies?

Sinha was a complete character with his background completely known. Now Kija joins his party. He was previously someone who just wanted to serve Yona with no given reason. The reason now is that it is some genetic disease that makes all white dragon descendents like this.

Jae-ha also got a flashback but it was pretty vague. Couldn't make much out of it. It appeared that his dad tried to attack him and was chained after Jae-ha succeeded him. But then Jae-ha was seen standing with him outside as if he broke him out. We'll only know what really happened if the guy tells us.

Was a good episode. Had a lot of much needed Yona kawaiiness.

An OVA done right basically. Right mix of comedy, fanservice and character development / backstory.

S2 when? ;_;

Loved this OVA! They added some nice little extra scenes to make this a full episode. Too bad we only got a little teaser of Jaeha's past b/c I've loved that extra chapter in the manga.
Where is my season 2 :O?

That was good, I liked Kija's backstory. Good thing his dad got to touch him in the end! & Jae-ha is adorable, even though he kids a lot he can be very considerate. I'd like to see him fight Hak for real too.

Everyone has the hot for Yona. I can understand :3

Ki-ja backstory was pretty sad. His old man looked totally senile. At least, everyone was in peace in the end, I guess this is all that matter.

This made me realize how much I miss AnY. It made me motivated so, it will probably be the next manga I pick up after I catch up on my other currently publishing ones.

Anyway, it was a really enjoyable OVA. Being able to see all the characters interactions and personalities again was awesome. Also, seeing Kija's past was amazing and sad.
Craving more Yona now!

A nice episode about Kija's past. He was the one dragon I wasn't sure about, good to finally know more about him :3

We even got a glimpse at Jaeha's past too! I read his already and knew why he was so understanding about Kija's scar, but wasn't sure if they would show anything from it. And I knew from the second I saw the spider that it was going to cause trouble somewhere lol

ahhh how I missed seeing Ao's antics being animated <33 (Ao being wrapped up in a towel is adorable)

Yay fanservice! Yona is adorable in the yukata as well. Kija blushing like mad when he saw her was adorable too, I kinda wanted to see Hak's reaction to her outfit (he'll probably tease her about it XD)

I knew it was coming, but I still had to look away when it came on screen >__< I would probably react the same way Kija did, if not even more freaked out.

Young Kija's so cuuuute I wanna squish him. I cried in the scene with his father T__T

I said "adorable" too many times in this post XD But in the words of Zeno, "Everyone is so adorable"

I liked the montage at the end, hoping for season 2!!

Also, new Cyntia song, yay!
