Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi: Kakaru ka? Gakuensai ni Koi no Hashi

A short review of an easy going OVA. Also my first review. A sequel of the main series Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi. It directly follows up the story. Also as seen as episode 13. But the main focus is on Daigo. Our "ecchii" friend. And before I go further, please watch the main series before reading this review. As knowledge about some characters is probably needed :3 ----FANSERVICE WARNING--- Seriously, I don't know why OVAs nowadays contains so much fanservice. Okay, it is cool. Maybe a little eroge as well. But the story is off. However, this OVA did actually a great job following the story.Still, way to much fanservice. You either like it or find it disturbing. As I said earlier. It main focus is Daigo. As known as a hentai, and nothing has changed since then. Some surprises in the story which is always good. And it is a little cosy one as well. I wont complain on the sound. Nothing special, and it inst disturbing. However, I find the art a little bit "re-drawn". Eyeshadows aren't so much as in the main series. It's a positive thing as I found it more natural this way. As I said earlier, Daigo hasn't changed, so haven't the rest of the characters. Helping characters are still helping, and those who are perverted are still perverted... In short, this OVA is a plus in addition to the series if you enjoyed it. Nonetheless if you did not like it, there's no point to move on.

Overall, the OVA of Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi lived up to my expectations. Even though they weren't very high. Story: 6 The story is fairly a simple one, as most are in this genre. Instead of Kazuma taking the spotlight of the lead character, the attention is shifted to Daigo. The entire episode is essentially Daigo looking for a girlfriend. However, this plot line allows for a more comedic approach, and more fanservice, which both appeal to those who were originally interested in the original series. Art: 6 The art is that of the quality of the main series. Nothing to extravagant. Sound: 6 No new OP or ED in thisOVA, however there is one insert song that some may find appealing. Character: 8 This OVA allows for more character expansions on Daigo, which I believe they did a good job with. However, some may not like Daigo as a character. If you're one of those people, this OVA is not for you. Enjoyment: 9 I really enjoyed this OVA on a personal level, as I enjoyed the original and only recently found out about this OVA. Overall: 7 Overall I would rate Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi OVA as a 7, as it lives up to expectations, but does not however go past that line and impress. If you're a fan of the original series, this OVA is for you.

A year or so has gone by since the main events of Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, and Minamikokubaru Daigo is desperately looking for a girlfriend as to not spend alone an incoming local festival the townsfolk is preparing to celebrate. Will he manage to do it? Will he accomplish his goals? Well, certainly no if he keeps constantly pestering the girls and even Ayumu like he does for the duration of this whole special, lol. On this little extra episode we will get to see Minamikokubaru Daigo trying to hook with pretty much all of the girls of the main series (with the notable exception ofthe two littlest Toudou sisters) and even beyond! To do so, he will try everything to catch their atention, going from faking a sudden interest in photography to (altough unwillingly) becoming a target practice for Ibuki on her archery club and getting a pretty bad forehead injury while doing so. All the while fantasazing about hypotetical scenarios with his female counterparts that somehow grow even more and more deranged as the special goes by. A pretty funny piece of media I would 100% recommend to viewers coming from the main franchise, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi: Kakaru ka? Gakuensai ni Koi no Hashi could very well pase from a regular episode of its parent series with the notable exception perhabs of getting to see up-close more love-dovey moments between the now paired one-another Hoshino Kazuma and Nakatsugawa Ui, a duo people who were fond of the dynamics between them beforehand will no doubt find sweet. We also get to see a little more fanservice we see on the avarage episode of the main series, which is always nice to see... Overall, you liked Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi? You will no doubt also like Gakuensai ni Koi no Hashi aswell! Go for it and give it a chance! Me, who enjoyed the main series wildly liked this one as well, and I can guarantee to you; should you a viewer with priorities as similar as mine then you will enjoy Gakuensai ni Koi no Hashi aswell.
