| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yet another solid episode, this one about Hikaru's kidnapping in Hawaii and Madoka and Kyosuke's attempt to rescue her. I thought the directing of this episode was solid, with some pretty good shots. |

| description says to watch between 17th-25th eps, Im at 19th but how the hell did they get to Hawai ? :O Should have i watched it later on ? |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| So like Hikaru to open doors for strangers. Madoka's english was...never mind. I have nothing nice to say about it lol Madoka is a pretty good shot to aim so well in the dark greenmarty said: description says to watch between 17th-25th eps, Im at 19th but how the hell did they get to Hawai ? :O Should have i watched it later on ? Kyousuke said he was invited by Madoka's parents. They were to play a concert at Hawaii. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| what's the point of this OVA series again? why didn't they just freaking include these in the main series? |
| Suspenseful episode. Madoka was lookin' fine with her hair in that ponytail! I didn't know Madoka was capable of carrying a conversation in English! She also did a good job of firing that gun. |
 |
| This is completely different, didn't use his powers enough. I like how Madoka says 'yes' though |
 |
| Better than the original show, good quality shots at the beginning. Madoka looked gorgeous with her new style. |
| Okay now, THIS was an episode. It was very good. Madoka was a badass as usual, Kyosuke became more of an active protagonist now that the situation required for him to use the power, and Hikaru was almost a side character, but she had her moments. Am not really sure whether or not the OVA's will aim for exploration of more genres with KOR, but as of now, this one did it amazingly. It was a thriller for most of it, with a few notes of action by the end, and I think it was very enjoyable, a lot better than the previous episode. |
| I'm watching this after watching episode 17. I'm following MAL's order (for now). I probably should've just gone with the release order but I probably won't enjoy watching OVAs which take place in the middle of the main story after concluding the main story. I hope there won't be any major spoilers in these forums. I'm surprised to see this OVA retain the aesthetics of the TV anime. The only things that are different are obviously the music and the animation quality being way higher than the TV anime that released a few years prior. The Engrish parts were pure lol. zetsu_shoren said: There could be various reasons. Things get cut from source to adaptations all the time. Maybe they didn't adapt some of the chapters cause they'd cost a lot to produce, maybe the director thought it was better to just cut them from the main series, maybe it was the author or producer's decision to cut them for whatever reason they felt like. As long as they don't give out official reasonings we'll never know. But it's cool that they decided to make these OVAs at all. what's the point of this OVA series again? why didn't they just freaking include these in the main series?

Raizel said: Well I suppose you're not wrong from that front. Most OVAs nowadays tend to be average in terms of quality and are more or less like normal episodes. I guess OVAs used to be a bigger deal back in the 80's and 90's and also the early 00's.0451 said: You do realize this was animated after the original series ended right?

| Surprisingly more enjoyable than the original TV series so far. |
  |
| That ENGRISH A very suspenseful episode. |
| This is the first episode of the OAV that I watched as I am following a watch order where certain OAV episodes are inserted within the tv series, then oav 8 after movie 2. Holy shit! This is great! It'd a step up because it involves violence and abduction, meaning more mature themes, from the juvenile humour of the tv series. It also makes a lowkey criticism of America when Kasuga mentions guns. The animation is stunning, reminding you of Akiyuki Shimbou even though he is nowhere a staff here. |
