WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE SPECIAL EPISODES OF ANGEL BEATS!

Without paying too much attention to the rather low rating I assigned to these OVA`s does not mean I disliked them any more than any other special episodes. It tied in well to the main story of the series, yet, the intention of these two side stories was mainly for the humourous exploration.

Story: 8
Having tied into the main story well, they are considered to be short and entertaining specials revolved around the student council. Both episodes from the picnic to the exam scenarios were highly amusing, and I didn`t have much to complain about.

Art: 8
It didn`t get the highest-ranking as they were short episodes, and purely were replicas of the mainstream show art style. The world-building was much better, showing off the scenery that surrounds the school in terms of the picnic episode. Animation ran smoothly alongside the character designs, focusing purely on the same characters we have previously met.

Sound: 7
OSTs and soundtrack still wasn`t the greatest, which was a shame, but this factor didn`t make me dislike them any less. Briefly sounding muffled on the odd word every now and then, other than that the category of sound was great. Using the same opening and closing piece as the prime site of the series.

Character: 7
As I have already stated, the special episodes contain the main characters we have already met, and due to them being OVAs alone, they didn`t thrive in terms of character development, which is understandable as these episodes are not a part of the feature-length series. Once more, the characters are all likeable and I`m glad that we`ve got more content of them, even though it was short, it was sweet.

Enjoyment: 7
I did indeed enjoy these specials, as I do have somewhat of an attachment to these characters - Angel in particular. Personally, I don`t really dwell on OVA`s, seeing them as fillers for the show. Though, I did enjoy these OVAs for the humourous side alone.

Overall Review: 7
In conclusion, I did enjoy my watch of these specials and was glad to witness more content with these loveable characters. Other than my liking for these characters and the simplistic storylines in these shorts, I don`t have that much left to discuss.

So, I do recommend watching these if you wish to gain more content of these characters in particular and if you`re looking for something that will get the occasional laugh out of you. It was a nice addition to the show.

Thank you for taking the time to read my review, I do hope you consider watching this franchise if you haven`t already. :)
