It's out on TokyoTosho, but no subs yet.

Edit: Just started watching it, it seems to be a combination of the one shot and the first chapter of the manga + some other stuff from later chapters. Wasn't that good, it was rally rushed, but the TV series will be much better (I hope). And I sure hope the opening will be changed as well.

Edit 2: After watching the whole thing, I must say that it was one of the worst things I've watched lately. They ruined everything that they could. DO NOT WATCH IT IF YOU HAVE SOME HOPES FOR THE TV SERIES BECAUSE YOU WILL BE HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED.

It certainly was rushed and the plot didn't make much sense in this form, but it was still very entertaining, especially since it's an introductory OVA for the series. I say the creators did a great job, introducing the major characters and setting up the situation. Now let's move on to the series! :)

It was much better than Mirai Nikki OVA though. It was more terrible.

There is nothing disappointing in it: the OVA was made to presented on Jump Super Anime Tour to show how the anime will look and feel and later packed with Beelzebub manga volume to hype up the Tv series. It was NOT made to entertain the general public. Thats what the TV series is for.

And I think it did a good job: it showed how it will feel, how some of the scenes will look like, soundtracks, voice-acting and the art style, as well as allowed us manga readers to see some of out favorite characters sooner then we hoped for.

Opening song sounds like from a super sentai show. Bit of terrible.
Itou Shizuka did a fantastic job as Hilda, while Aki Toyosaki seems like a bad choice for Aoi. Didn't like her voice much, it sounded like her character from Samurai Girls.
Oga, Furuichi and the rest are great.
The awesome one is Baby Be'el. The voice is just adorable.
As for the story, it's a mashing of a lot of chapters that was really rushed. Some punchlines weren't delivered well while some hit the mark.

Only manga readers will fully appreciate this OVA, I think.
And since I am one, I really liked this OVA. Got a grasp of how the series will go.
A bit of fixing in the animation and how the comedy is delivered and I will be a happy viewer.

Dah!

Well the art is not bad and see them animated is kind of nice; I only wish they made Furuichi golden blond instead of having platinum blond he looks kinda weird. The manga is more funny than the anime. I am going to stick to the manga anyway.

lol I actually like Kunieda voice, she doesn't really sound like Yui or other Toyosaki Aki roles. Actually I enjoyed the OVA much better than the TV series.

Though, it probably just spoiled at least half of the first season, lol!

it's pretty much if you read the manga then you'll like the ova more so than the first couple of episodes of the anime

ova's are essentially held more true to the manga and i was absolutely delighted to see some of my favorite parts of the manga animated rather than some cut out or altered like in the anime

again, the ova is for the manga readers (also it was a huge spoiler for the first arc)

I know exactly what you mean. I probably just took away a lot of enjoyment I could have had for upcoming episodes. I don't think that was a summary of the whole season; probably just episodes 1-6 or so. Naturally, I can't say for sure since I don't read the manga. I'm just making a guess since the first half of the OVA contained most of episodes 1 & 2.

This OVA is summary of a lot more than just the beginning of the manga, I'm figuring it spoils at least 5 episodes of the series, maybe more.

So if you are planning to watch the series I'd advise not watching this for a while, on the other hand it was badass and way better than the first two eps of the series!!

So you can make your own call, but I am a little perturbed about essentially ruining at least a quarter of the first season!

Urahara Out!!

This. It covered like 30 chapters in 20 minutes.
I wouldn't have known Aki Toyosaki was Aoi without looking at the character sheet. That voice is new, and I like it. Waaaiting for TV series to catch up

Aoi Toyosaki is a terrible choice for Aoi; it was totally unfitting. She also looks a bit weird animated, she looks cuter in the manga ;3

It was really fast. It don't have any plot to follow, I think.
And it is a huge spoiler to the first arc.

I know i am late to post this, but i almost thought that i am the only one that loved the OP song :) I loved the ED song too since it's one of my favourites musician Takanashi Yasuharu created it.

Seriously, i was looking for the OVA OP song everywhere but i couldn't find any information about it :( Damn! it looks like it was not released at all. and same goes to the OST can't find any information about the OST too :(. I just can't believe it!! Argh! =.=

Ow I see this was actually the preview for the whole series, bit strange that I only noticed the release date after finishing the show but well if you watch this after the show it's pretty much the first couple episodes merged together! Overall pretty decent for a preview!

I loved the format. After the exposition, with the introduction of Hilda and the river scene, the rest of the episode is divided into four parts:

Oga interacting with each of the four Tōhōshinki:
1. Hajime Kanzaki
2. Aoi Kunieda
3. Tatsuya Himekawa
4. Hidetora Tōjō
