User angelsreview (Score: 10/10):
These were pretty much cute little side stories during the main show. It’s all quite random but you can get a rather interesting look at the personalities of each character without breaking the plot of the show. I consider these more like character arcs that can really flesh out a character. The animation actually sometimes looks a like it was done a bit better then the TV show but yet it doesn’t feel disconnected from it. It’s just enough to show this wasn’t done with the rest of it. The opening seems to be a bit confusing if you didn't finish the TV show. There isa part that will give you a small clue as to what happened at the end that could end up spoiling the show.nnThe music is one of the best parts because it has the really nice feel just like the TV show. The Japanese dub is rather good as well with the right feeling expressed. I wish they had also tried to do an English dubing of it but sadly I have not found anything about that.
