Comments on: Kannagi OVA – Strangely unsatisfying http://hontouni.com/zan/2009/06/16/kannagi-ova-strangely-unsatisfying/ Stripey Insists Sisters Cry Oniichan Now Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:43:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Stripey http://hontouni.com/zan/2009/06/16/kannagi-ova-strangely-unsatisfying/comment-page-1/#comment-8037 Stripey Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:52:42 +0000 http://hontouni.com/taihendesu/?p=1537#comment-8037 suguru: Indeed, it's a waste that the OVA neither leveraged on the intriguing plot nor the endearing cast to deepen Kannagi love. I hope second season (if it ever rolls around) would be more balanced in structuring its delivery - good fun interspersed with good plot/character development. orion: I have to admit I enjoyed the pure filler/comedic (as suguru puts it) for the TV program too. But maybe I love the show/cast so much that I had greater aspirations for it. Still a very enjoyable show though I wouldn't be getting the DVDs. :P Celestial: Do moderate your expectations though. While it's great to see the cast again, the OVA simply felt very diffused. anonymous_object : Nagi's school mizugi scene reminded me of a corresponding one in Toradora. But man is the world unfair. Some girls have it all *wipes noseblood from Zange in mizugi* vexx: It needs better integration. An experienced series composer for Season 2 should be able to work out the kinks and balance. I propose Okada Mari sensei. suguru: Indeed, it’s a waste that the OVA neither leveraged on the intriguing plot nor the endearing cast to deepen Kannagi love.

All the characters seemed on hold, except for one millisecond when one might have thought that the club president was about to drop her yuri ways in admiration. Kannagi is a bit of a conundrum, never quite integrating "da funny" with what is a pretty good idea for a semi-serious story underneath (which the manga also suffers from, even according to the author). They're really good characters and I hope we get a second season to really tell some story.

Felt more like one of the gag episodes from the series. No real story progression or character development :-/ Still, more Kannagi is a good thing ^^ I haven't read the manga; I wonder if there is enough new material from the manga to create another 13 episode anime sequel? I believe the manga is still on hiatus so we might have to wait a while if it happens at all >_< P.S. Nagi in school mizugi is win <3 Zange and Tsumugi too ^^ I got some laughs from episode 14, but yeah, it wasn’t much more than that. Felt more like one of the gag episodes from the series.
