The special is the episode 13 of Akuma no Riddle that is added for the DVD release of the series. Expect the series to give the most typical fan service most anime special introduce. The setting is in an island setting so expect what kind of fan service the special holds. The plot still stick with the same gimmick as the anime series did. Another unfair battle royal game where poor Haru going to be targeted again and Azuma is going to protect her again. Another 2 vs 11 scenario same plot mechanics but more fewer stake because the characters are not going try and kill her but instead take the ribbon wrap around her and boom! The winner get her wish granted it’s the same boring format as before but now the anime is acting what it really is. And that’s all about it. I have nothing to say about the music, art, plot and characters nothing really changes.
Subjective Review about the series as a whole: (This may contain Major Spoilers)
I already tackle in details why I dislike Akuma No Riddle in my previous review about the series so I will give a short paragraph on what will you see when you watch the anime series first before this special. Akuma No Riddle is a Battle Royale game that is pure train wreck it didn’t explain how the rules work in the game. Another factor is that the assassin girls seem like they are not taking their role seriously and are they really are assassins to begin with? And they are just generic characters from different anime series. We have an air head heroine named Haru and protected by another assassin that was met to kill her Azuma for no sensual reason just protected her just to have a yuri couple excuse for the fan boys fetishes and to extend the story. Azuma is Haru roommate so she has the better chance to kill amongst the other girls. In the end Haru became the victor because of Azuma help and all the girls was “Alive” wow so much for a death tournament it is like the girls just have excuse to throw and hurt each other. Well what you would expect in a “Shoujo-Ai” genre. The life and death situation doesn’t matter anymore once you watch the ending. This anime is just complete time waster. Believe me.
