I would like to preface that I am an anime-only. I have never read the manga, but despite this I believe we have gotten one of the worst second seasons to a show since Tokyo Ghoul. This new season has been appalling in pacing, in story writing, and honestly in animation sometimes. My hopes for this series were almost completely gone, but I wake up this morning to seeing there is an OVA. This gave me a little bit of hope that maybe CloverWorks realized how much they'd messed up, and gave us a quick pick me up to apologize for the mess they'd made. But no, no they didn't do that. They instead thought it was a great idea to give us a pause from this miserable second season, and recap the first season with the first 5 episodes of season two.
W h a t.
Why? What. Like, what actually is the point. Do you think we all just magically forgot what happened in the last 5 episodes of season two?
I do appreciate CloverWorks reminding me how good the first season was though, but this has no purpose actually existing. This is the most sorry excuse for an OVA that I've seen in awhile. This legitmately has no reason to really exist. There is no point in recapping a collective 17 or so episodes.
This isn't even a good recap either because you're jamming a rushed second season and a good first season into 23 minutes. If the studio wanted to do a legitmate recap, it should have been at least 40 minutes in length.
With this quick, angry rant out of the way, I will now go back to patiently waiting for the next episode of season two so that I can come to dislike it more, and become even more disappointing in what an originally amazing show has become.
