These specials have a crap ton of references to not only the special portions of the series and parodies them but also drags other anime into the mix as well.
And it doesn't stop there, they even drag the voice actors into it.
In terms of comedy and a job well done, these specials are far superior than the original. Kuroneko yet again remains my favorite character in this, and at this point, as a serious character, Accelerator is by far my favorite and I can't wait to see if they release a Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator.
rated the original series 7/10, but the specials are a 9/10.
