    Well, for a moment there I thought the OVA will be just another fan service. Turns out the OVA of Witch Craft Works itself, in my opinion, generate more excitement for me than the actual series itself. It is very light-hearted and to be frank, the comedy is very refreshing. Bringing the bro-con topic of the main character's sister and WWE-ish featuring bear and penguin, the OVA is just an extension to the main series. The art and the sound are very much the same with the usual series. The character however, stole the spotlight in this OVA. I have to say that the OVA ismuch more enjoyable and comedic compared to the main series.nnFor overall resultt, this is one OVA that is good, if not, better than the main series in term of enjoyment.

    Was a super fun episode focusing on the sister instead of the main character. It is a ova so theres not much to it except fun! Art seemed a little worse than the rest of the show but its a ova so its to be somewhat expected. I would recommend this, and if you havent watched the main show its not much special but I would recommend it for a enjoyable anime. Im mainly writing this because i usually check the reviews for OVAs before watching them so I dont get dissapointed and there were only three so yup. and this part is to make the review long enoughto be submitted because there isnt much to say.

    Witch Craft Works: Takamiya-kun to Imouto no Warudakumi (2015) STORY: OVA about Kasumi gaining an alliance with Tanpopo to take down the Princess. They recruit other members of Tower Witches to achieve this goal. Ultimately it is based around Kasumi and her Bro-Con ways that is seen by all but her. They proceed with their plan and the expected results. The actual episode picks up directly from the end of the 12th episode. It also contains a funny fight scene with the cute mentor Rinon. ART: The art is the same as before just perhaps a little less polished off so the quality is slightly worse, butit is far from bad however. nnSOUND: nnSame as the main series. All very good and to standard with the great ending song.nnCHARACTER: nnGet to know more about the other supporting Tower Witches and more about Kasumi which is really nice to see. nnENJOYMENT: nnThe episode is very enjoyable and brings some extra hilarity to the already great series. nnOVERALL:nnAbsolutely worth a watch if you enjoyed the series.
