I rarely enjoy "special" shorts, but these were pretty charming - the first four, anyway. (The last two weren't bad, but were a definite drop-off in quality; otherwise, I'd have scored an 8.) It's six shorts of the characters being silly and playing off each other, just as they did in the comedic scenes from the show. Plus, for those of us in it for the queer content, these go a long way toward repairing the overwhelming no-homo of the second half of season 2. We get Natsuki trying to kiss Riko, Midori obsessing over Reina's chest (because they look like fermata!), and Reina straight-up leaving her class's school festival preparations because she wants to see Kumiko in a maid outfit. The one thing I didn't like was the relative dearth of Asuka, Nozomi, and Mizore. Not groundbreaking, but definitely among the better anime shorts I've seen.
