English Unlike the OVA, the anime series was too drawn out initially. I was expecting intense and comedic action right from the start; however, it took too long before I felt absorbed for my liking. The characters were fine, and it has a more sophisticated narrative than the OVA. However, I devoured the OVA; it was an excellent action-packed one-off. However, I watched the anime series on and off for over a week. Plus, the over-the-top emotionally charged moments (which I, unfortunately, did not find one-hundred percent convincing) were too much for my taste. The conclusion of the OVA was probably the only time I thought that what the anime’s writers did was over-the-top. In this anime series, it was much more frequent. I do not wish to say that the anime series is worse than the OVA, it just did not get to me as much, and that is why I am only awarding this show three stars, which is still good, though! 6.2/10. ()
