For long Etotama has been one of the few unpopular anime that i'm lucky i found out, and one of the few i could share with other anime worms. It's amazing how simple it is to drive people into. The ending left me speechless and made me want to see more of Etotama even just a bit. But let's talk about the specials i thought i was lucky again to know about. There's not much about them. Really. Just a bunch of short skits. The characters show up once again and try to express themselves in nearly 2-minute episodes. It's hard to tell the different betweenthis and the main series, except for the mediocre plot. Feel like these are just cutscenes that didn't make it into the series.nnThese OVAs would not leave any impression on you. And if you're interesting in the main series, you would probably be disappointed. But watch it anyway if you want, it wouldn't hurt. Just remember that this does not represent the original series' awesomeness in any ways.nnNow repeat after me: A is for NyaA-tan.
