Then, suddenly, Tsunashi Takuto


I didn't really like the sythe they used for the Soul Eater reference. Yes, they where trying to be subtle, but I would of preferred a more accurate sythe.

Ao for cutest character this year. They should have at least had him sport the skirt for awhile :(. Anyway episode was essentially on the level of any fandoms fanfict prompt of "suddently character must dress as a girl for secret mission x," and then just tons of random moments to take advantage of their situation. Plot wasnt satisfying in comparion to the anime but it was still hilarious and I liked seeing Ao in all these occasions, kudos to Elena and Fleur, and even Gazelle team for supporting him through it. The fight against the secret was awesome, all my favorite songs playing successively

Nice Star Driver and Soul Eater reference.

Enjoyed it a lot; would have worked very nicely actually being episode 9 of the series (minus the arbitrary secret-battle to fit the 24 minutes).

The fuck did I just watch?

Lol @ the cosplay and comic artworks. In fact, it's like Ao gets his own "Look-a-like" highlight reel as "Eureka".

Such great character development that was left out in the original anime. Currently (episode 22) we are just blindly going place to place and truth is the worst antagonist in the fucking world!

Yeah, I really like the extra character development this gave with all the extra interactions between the characters. They definitely should have aired an ep like this in the normal run.

This should actually be even more enjoyable watching it in between episode 8 and 9 where it apparently belongs according to the game page on cdjapan to get a little more into the characters before the big stuff goes down at the halfway point.

LOL at Ao stuck looking like Eureka for most of the ep, hehe.

I enjoyed this fun ep much more than I expected to, and the Ranma and Soul Eater references (Soul Eater's awesome too), I was expecting all fanservice not a nice fun character ep with a bit of action at the end.

This OVA accomplished to show what the anime unfortunately never did.
A relationship and some interaction between the three pilots.

a very good OVA

I missed that OP and ED. 1st half were uninteresting. 2nd half was average. Wasn't a fan of tranny AO neither.

Soul Eater 1/2 out of 10.

I loved this OVA I thought it was great. I watched it after I finished the main series and it really helped cheer me up! Ao looks so much like Eureka it is ridiculous, very nostalgic. I really hope they make more of these :D

Holy crap that was bad and borderline blasphemy.

If Elena wasn't in this, I would've stopped watching after 2 minutes.

But this way it saved itself to a generous 3/10.

This didn't have to be made and what's up with the secret looking like a snowman. Feels like the studio is just messing around with the series at this point.

Liked the fanservicey bits here. Only thing was I felt like the story was a little confusingly told at the beginning.

Plus we never got to know who the "investor" was? Unless that's something that's going to come up in the rest of series (since I am watching this between 8 and 9).

Man, I should've discovered this when I was earlier in the series. Watching after the ending brings a total mood whiplash.

A goofy filler where they parody various anime. Notably, Ao ends up dressing as his own and Elena cosplays Maka from Soul Eater (Seiyuu joke involving another Bones anime).



Elena tries to play Ranma 1/2 with Ao, with her kettle of hot water.


Takuto from Bone's Star Driver also gets a cameo the first time Elena talks about cosplay:

Wonderful episode. I finally get to enjoy some fan service from this story/series after watching the ending of the series.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
