Eromanga-sensei OVA

I agree with my concept and reaffirm that Eromanga sensei is a very normal show. However, I want to quote my review of the series "If we let Sagiri's relationship leave the spectrum, we can appreciate some characters like the promiscuous and introverted personality of Elf Yamada and the shy, educated nature of Muramasa, but unfortunately if we add Sagiri into the equation, Masamune's relations are unbalanced and, in some cases, forced." As you can see, the real OVA explains that phrase. The OVA is beautiful and enjoyable. We can laugh at the ideas and reactions of Yamada Elf. I most enjoy the song, the lies, her attitude, and all the actions during the OVA. I wonder why I enjoy the OVA ... Ohh yes, Sagiri wasn't there. It is similar to episode 9 from the main series. On the other hand, we can see the contrast in the second episode. I do not consider the second episode as an OVA; it is a surplus of the main series, and the opening gives me the reason. None wanted to transmit it, so let's add it as an OVA, none will notice that is a residue. Yes sure, we noticed and the score for that episode is 3 - 4 and I am being generous. That extra episode is very dull. Seeing how Sagiri tries to take care of her ill brother is nonsense. Do not get me wrong, but the statement "I cannot watch over you if you're not in my room" and then she leaves the room several times is ridiculous and without any intelligent argument. Now I understand why that useless episode was removed from the main series because it's garbage. The score I am giving is based on the original OVA, who resorts in the secondary characters creating a more pleasant outcome, we can see something different from the main series and in which Yamada Elf once again shine.

Eromanga Sensei is art. When spring 2017 brought us this, we thought we had seen everything anime had to offer. We thought. Eromanga Sensei launched into the anime fandom with a clear message: Anime is trash and it will only get worse. Now there are a few OVA's of them and I gonna tell you if they are worth watching. The first OVA has Elf celebrating a party because one of her novels got an anime adaptation. However, her mother wants to bring Elf with her because Elf hasn't find a husband yet. Elf doesn't want that and wants to stay. Pretty okay episode. I liked the musical piece, but it did not blow my mind in any way and just was kinda there. Overall, okay episode. The second OVA has Sagiri caring for her brother because he is sick. This is, In my opinion, a far better episode then the first OVA. The biggest reason for this is because of the incredibly simple premise. The first OVA has a set story and there is very little room for creativity. This OVA has tons of room for creativity and jokes and it makes good use of it. I chuckled multiple times throughout the episode. Overall, I think the first OVA is okay but can be skipped and the second OVA is a must watch if you liked Eromanga Sensei. Now I need to finish the review, the lights are going out at 7 PM and if I keep going like this the prison guards will punish me.

The two OVA episodes are unrelated, i.e. each one has its own story and no need to watch them in sequence, therefore I'll have to review each one separately. The first episode is about Elf and a party made for her first anime adaptation (or whatever) and her mother, who's not too keen about her life. Frankly I think it's pretty boring. Proper disclosure - I watched this show when it aired back in 2017 and didn't bother watching it again just for the OVA, and I didn't really remember Elf and it took me a while to even understand who she is. Also, it refers a bit to past episodes, again could be an issue if it's been a while since you last watch the show. Even assuming that you do remember the characters I still don't see much of a plot here. I'll give it a 5 and that's being generous. The second episode is about Masamune being sick and Sagiri tending to him while he's in bed. Sagiri is then forced to face her fears when someone actually depends on her. I don't really want to go into further details in order to avoid spoilers but I will say that it doesn't require you to remember any details from the show besides the fact that Sagiri is virtually always locked in her room. Overall a way better episode and I give it an 8. Since I can't give a score of 6.5 I'm giving this one a 7. If you're short on time you don't have to bother with the first episode, but do watch the second.

Some honcho says that " None can match the quality this show brings, episode after episode of just riveting story" I totally disagree, cu'z this was just another one of those incest themed anime , thought the siblings weren't related, it was just the same as a imouto having a brocon with hr onochan, and the setting was the usual thing were them siblings were in the lite novel business and the harem that come along with it. Frankly , this should've been included with the parent anime from 2017, IMAO this was more like done to boost up the Novel sales, but then again watching this was pretty much ok, especially when we have the Ymada Ef arce where we see Yamada's relationship with her mom as she finally get her own way, but whether or not she kissed Masamune was debatable, thought I'd wish she did. Characterwise nothing has changed since we still see the same character around here, but there were some developments with Yamada elf as she tries to further her relationship with Mansamune and Sagiri as she tries to break her chains of isolation by caring for her onichan. Soundwise , well we did get to know about Yamada Elf's song that was substituted for "adrenaline!!!" by TrySail that was played on the 2nd ep of the OVA...Btw as you watch this there will only be one fanservice around here and that's with Yamada Elf, but don't expect it to be a good one , So how I rate this anime is: Story-mediocre 5: The OVA still rides with the parent anime. Art-Mediocre 5: No changes whatsoever, even Yamada's fanservice wasn't that good. Sound- Good 7: For Yamada's song in ep 1. Character- Fair 6: The same character , but there were some developments with Yamada elf's to Masamune and Sagiris coming out of her room kind of thing. Enjoyment- good 7: Since it was still as funny as ever especially when Muramasa tries in vain to see the sick Masamune. Overall- fair 6: Welp it was just very usual for original creator, Fushimi, Tsukasa to focus on sibling relationships like he did with OreImo, so basically for him to make such as this OVA was just him who can't get enough of that BroCon kind of thing, in fact his 13- Banme alice , Neko-sis and Meitantei Shikkaku na Kanojo weren't much of a success. So Boom (Mic drop)!!!!!!!

Imho, the main series was unironically actually pretty good. Yes, it was lewding middle schoolers and promotes incest, (which is obviously a no-no) but regardless I liked it. It was kind of a guilty pleasure show that I actually kind of enjoyed. The music was really good, the animation was actually surprisingly great, and there were mostly competent writers. For this episode, animation and music for some reason get twice as good, and then they hired a grade school writer to write the episode. Like what the HELL was this episode! The main series was only laughably bad because ecchi and incest, this was laughably bad because of how terrible it was. I'm not going to spoil anything because I want you to watch it for yourself, but trust me on this. I just don't know what was going on and it was a terrible episode. Also, where I watched it (gogoanime for anyone wondering) had just terrible grammar and stuff for the subtitles. It was incredibly easy to tell that the person doing the subs wasn't great at English. Honestly, this episode was so bad it was good, and I had a great time watching it and you will too. Episode 2: This episode is almost disappointingly normal compared to ep 1, but honestly it's better than every other episode from the main series, almost by an order of magnitude. It's extremely cute, it's funnier than normal, there are one or two genuinely touching moments, the music, subtitles, and (surprisingly good) animation go back to normal, it has almost no ecchi scenes, and only hints at an incestuous relationship. It also had a fun reference to the ed. everything was just on top of the game. I don't think these two episodes could have been any different! The first one was the worst episode they could have made and was fun because of how bad it was, and this was the best episode they could have made and was fun because of how good it was. Both of them I would give an 8/10.

Its a shame Elf's episode was so low quality. Rather boring. Sagiri's truly made up for it. Elf's episode gets a 5 and Sagiri's a 9, bringing the overall score to a 7. Had I seen more Sagiri fanservice I would have bumped up her episode's score to a 10; but a 10 requires some imouto pantsu *licc licc*.

No words can truly put this franchise into genuine words. What somebody can call art, another would scream of pedophilia (I'm doing my part FBI-san). The parent show has managed to redefine the meaning of “trash” on it's time being aired, and without a doubt, after its conclusion, we all wanted a sequel despite bad-mouthing it to hell in public. And there it is again, threatening our freedom and promising a cold spot in a dark cell at the closes state prison. The animation was really well-maintained in this one, consistency on anatomy and faces, I really appreciate the lack of CGI usage. The same can be complimented about the vocals, the light soundtracks, the quality voice acting, you just gotta love the sound of a cute tone of voice. I would definitely recommend watching this if you've enjoyed the parent series, it doesn't add that much except for a couple added kisses that should have been in the parent series.

MASTERPIECE! Extremely pleasing and enjoyable short stories. Eromanga-sensei, especially its OVA, really is the epitome of the definition of the word MOE. It revived the goddess Kirino from Oreimo, creating the unending kyunkyun dokidoki feeling. The art is just the right one that fits the story, any other art style wouldn't be suitable or even appropriate for this moe imouto loving story. The sound and music might be lacking, but it doesn't hinder it from getting a ten from me. The characters' personalities are on par with all other romcoms masterpieces, having colorful backgrounds with amazing and apparent showcase of their nonfictional personality, being light and brief but deeply conveys their emotions and thoughts through their behavior.

After the disaster that was Ore ga Suki nano wa Imouto dakedo Imouto ja Nai, LA needed to see some good o' degenerate good trash anime and nothing says that than with two words, "Eromanga-sensei" and "OVA" Eromanga-sensei OVA has two episodes, one focusing solely on Elf Yamada, the other, of Masamune getting sick and Sagiri having to tend to him while getting some of the cast into some hijinks with Sagiri going into *ahem* unknown territory...outside her room! Elf Yamada's episode was great to be all honest as her light novel has gotten an anime thus celebrations are in order, that is until Elf's mother voiced by Sayaka Ohara comes along forcing her to pack up and leave to find a better suitor, but Elf doesn't want that and this episode not only shows Elf's family circumstances and the like but also shows Elf in her prime in the most out of nowhere musical number LA has seen and it was GREAT. *ahem* Elf Yamada best girl fight me. All in all, as much as the familial conflict is cliche, how it was executed was surprisingly refreshing and again out of nowhere in a good way. Masamune's sick episode though the episode confines itself in Sagiri's house, the hijinks does arise from the characters outside of the house as most of the cast comes in to actually interaction semi-face to face with Sagiri, as Masamune had always been the proxy for Sagiri in a ways, so seeing the middle man cut out and seeing the interactions were entertaining to say the least, with Muramasa being a highlight. But what Masamune being sick gives us a Sagiri focused episode really and seeing now Sagiri in the role Masamune had always been in and seeing her both tend to Masamune and deal with his day to day chores (and even an allusion back to the ending theme) and friends in the process was interesting funny to say the least and lastly once again reaffirming Sagiri's sibling love to Masamune. Not much to say in the production front as it's the same as it was in the original season, with A1-Pictures at the helm and doing some decent amount of detail to the simplest things and the always vibrant character designs and yes this is an OVA, thus showing some skin is in order, well yeah there is, but like the original season, they never go too far so fanservice is rather bare and rare either way. Voice acting wise, LA will easily give Minami Takahashi MVP of this OVA purely for Elf Yamada, though Saori Oonishi as Muramasa and Yoshitsugu Mastuoka as Masamune does have their standout moments and heck LA will throw a bone and say that Akane Fujita as Sagiri has her moments as well. Eromanga-sensei OVA is decent if your wanting more Eromanga-sensei and some different settings for the characters to be in or a celebration of certain characters and this OVA does just that.

Well-produced but narratively awkward... The Eromanga Sensei: Imouto to Akazu no Ma OVA delivers a technically competent production, maintaining fluid animation, vibrant colors, and high-quality audio that continue the events of the main series, this time focusing more on the development and dynamic between Elf Yamada and Masamune Izumi. However, the viewing experience becomes narratively and visually uncomfortable when viewed through a more critical lens. Upon revisiting the episode, the immediate and blatant sexualization of Elf stands out. Although the story states she is 14 and Izumi is 16, ages that legally mitigate the issue within the depicted school setting, the problem lies entirely in the character design and art direction. Her physical appearance was clearly crafted to cater to the "loli" archetype fetish, appealing to a specific niche of fans and, quite likely, the author's own preferences. This creates an unsettling discrepancy: if one were to show these ecchi-style scenes involving Elf and Izumi to an outsider or someone unfamiliar with anime, the immediate impression would be that of an absurdly strange, almost criminal relationship between an adult and a child. There is a stark contrast here between nostalgia and the viewer's maturity. When I first watched this kind of content at around 15 or 16, it seemed like nothing more than a fun, lighthearted romantic comedy, as I lacked the critical filter to perceive these issues on screen. Today, however, it is impossible to ignore this aesthetic choice. It is frustrating to realize that if the animation had dispensed with the "loli" look and the gratuitous fan service, the story between Elf and Izumi could have featured a genuine romantic arc and an *ecchi* dynamic that was far more acceptable and enjoyable. Currently, this visual annoyance overshadows any positive aspects of the narrative, making the experience unpleasant and preventing me from enjoying what I see. I don't go so far as to hate the OVA, as I understand its premise and the nostalgia of that era, but I cannot recommend it today. Raiting: 5/10. =================================================================================================================Versão em Português===================================== Bem produzido mas narrativamente estranho... O OVA de Eromanga Sensei: Imouto to Akazu no Ma entrega uma produção tecnicamente competente, mantendo a animação fluida, cores vibrantes e um bom padrão de áudio que dão continuidade aos acontecimentos da obra principal, desta vez colocando um foco maior no desenvolvimento e na dinâmica entre a Yamada Elf e o Masamune Izumi. No entanto, a experiência de assistir a essa obra atualmente acaba se tornando narrativamente e visualmente desconfortável à medida que aplicamos um olhar mais crítico. Ao reanalisar o episódio, salta aos olhos a imediata e ostensiva sexualização da Elf. Embora dentro do contexto da história os dados numéricos indiquem que ela tem 14 anos e o Izumi 16, o que legalmente atenua a questão no cenário escolar retratado, o problema reside inteiramente no design e na direção artística. A aparência física da personagem foi claramente moldada para atender ao fetiche do arquétipo loli, agradando a um nicho específico de fãs e, muito provavelmente, às preferências do próprio autor. Isso gera uma discrepância incômoda: se apresentarmos essas cenas de apelo ecchi envolvendo a Elf e o Izumi para qualquer pessoa leiga ou fora da bolha dos animes, a impressão imediata será a de um relacionamento absurdamente estranho e quase criminoso entre um adulto e uma criança. Existe aqui um forte contraste entre a nostalgia e a maturidade do espectador. Na época em que assisti a esse tipo de conteúdo, tendo por volta de 15 ou 16 anos, a obra parecia apenas uma comédia romântica divertida e despretensiosa, pois eu não possuía o filtro crítico para enxergar esses problemas na tela. Hoje, porém, torna-se impossível ignorar essa escolha estética. É frustrante notar que, se a animação descartasse a aparência de loli e o fanservice apelativo, a história entre a Elf e o Izumi teria um desenvolvimento romântico genuíno e uma dinâmica ecchi muito mais aceitável e agradável. Atualmente, esse incômodo visual se sobrepõe a qualquer ponto positivo da narrativa, tornando a experiência desagradável e impedindo que eu consiga gostar do que vejo. Não chego a odiar o OVA, pois compreendo sua proposta e a nostalgia da época, mas hoje não consigo recomendar. Nota: 5/10.
