Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo: Mou Hitotsu no Suzaku-sai (2014-2015)
So this is a bit of an oddity because the first OVA came out before the series aired in 2014 and then the second part during the airing of the main show. I presume when the second part came out it was during the school festival as more of a .5 to whatever episode that was.
The reason it is so odd is that the OVA pair is a two-part show. It is odd to see the first half then watch a fair amount of the show then to see the second part. In that regard, I am glad to have watched this in 2020 to see the main show then the OVA.
For a two-part OVA being just under an hour in total, it was very much like a short film. It doesn't independently really introduce anyone that greatly and you are expected to know the characters. This would be odd if you watched the first part when it came out. Unless you read the source material.
Nevermind that because it is actually a really great OVA. Fun, romantic at times and really well done.
I really did enjoy the usual suspects in their roles. Nao for me is still the best girl. It was however really nice to see Asuka being herself. Would love to know more about her. Also seeing Rika and her no underwear thing was pretty funny.
This had some hard bits because firstly the 3 guys who are the bad ones from before I just can never accept as decent. Also, the 3 bullies from the main show are also no matter what awful characters since they made no way of trying to apologise and just suddenly changed.
Other than that the OVA is really well done and very much great to have watched. It is probably worth just watching them after the show but if you want to then watch them during the festival.
