Maid Sama!: It's an Extra!

Oh brother… this was sort of a boring OVA. Sadly, it didn’t clean up any of the questions that I had after the TV version. It was definitely just an extra episode that had nothing really to add to the series. Kind of sad really as all it was seemed to be just random slice of life even more so then the TV show. The plot was barely there, the thought of the show just seemed to string by in a rather odd sort of way. It’s really hard to explain a review for a single episode. We did get to see Misaki’s Mother and youngersister more but their personality hadn’t changed at all since the TV show. Again we didn’t get a lot from them at all, just her sister winning stuff and her mother acting clueless at times. They also use a gag that was used twice in the TV show again which just seemed a little overkill on that. Once, alright… I can picture this happening. Twice… maybe it could happen again. It’s just a matter of timing. Three times… that part of the street is just cursed right? The artwork is just the same as the TV series, its good but nothing stands out. The artwork is colorful but sometimes lacks in detail and every once in a while we get large blocks of color behind a character instead of showing the real background. There is still some flowers and strange lines that pop up out of no where to show different emotions but it just feels like the same stuff I have seen before. The voices are the same and I do have to say that some of the characters dubbings grew on me from watching the TV show. Not saying they were good or anything, but just that they were the same voices as before with the same sort of dialog. I did end up seeing slightly more emotion from Usui which was a plus but still, his voice had that same sort of drone that was present in the TV version. Like I said, this really was just a bland episode for me although it did show another interesting side of a couple characters. Not really worth watching if you didn’t like the main story but it’s alright if you finished the story and want that one more episode.

The typical route for OVA episodes like this is beach episode or hot spring. This just felt like another regular episode of the show, and not even particularly special one. The hijinks with the maid uniform in the first part was kind of funny, and then a lot of the last part is just them talking about a cat. If this had been a normal episode of the show I wouldn't have thought much but it being it's own separate thing I'm going to rate it a bit lower than the main show. It felt tacked on and didn't really serve a purpose other thanto be a bonus for people who just really really wanted more I guess. 7/10

Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Special! is the extra episode which runs for about 12-13 mins. Perhaps, episode 27? Story? Not much to say about the story. It's a fun story somehow. Art & Sound? Very much similar to the series itself. I find it okay. Character? It was great since there is a fan service being showed by the characters in the special episode and it's amusing. Enjoyment? It's was alright I think? I still enjoyed this extra episode although it's short. Overall? I admit that I expected a lot from this special episode, I thought it was another add-on to the series but no. Still, it was something although I'mnot quite satisfied with time given for an OVA. Anyway, it was a cute and fun episode.
