“From Up on Poppy Hill”
One thing’s for sure – it can’t be easy being Miyazaki Gorou.

「ベルセルク 黄金時代篇Ⅰ 覇王の卵」 (Berserk Ougon Jidaihen I: Haou no Tamago)
“Berserk Golden Age Arc I: Egg of the High King”
Miura Kentarou’s dark fantasy saga about a talented swordsman and a charismatic mercenary leader makes its long awaited debut on the silver screen.
Note: I’ve tried to keep spoilers to a minimum, and there are some NSFW screen caps after the jump.
Another – 00 (OVA)
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |

「アナザー OAD」
“Episode 00”
If the OVA of Another conjures up anything in my mind’s eye, it’s the realization of just how tragically the final two episodes of the TV series missed the mark.
Gundam Unicorn – 05

「黒いユニコーン 」 (Kuroi Yunikoon)
“Black Unicorn”
I haven’t kept up with a lot of anime since my indefinite hiatus from blogging, but I fully intended to cover this fifth episode of Gundam Unicorn — especially considering the cliffhanger the OVA series left off on six months ago.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? OF THE DEAD – 00 (OVA)

「はい、アンコールありがとうございます」 (Hai, Ankōru Arigatō Gozaimasu)
“Yes, Thank You for the Encore”
This is the swimsuit episode. If you’re asking yourself whether you should watch this OVA, then that should give you your answer. Yes, yes you should. It’s the swimsuit episode. I dare say you must.

「林間学校こんふゅーじょん!」 (Rinkangakkou Konfyujon!)
“The Outdoor School Confusion”
School field trip with Haruaki and the gang? Count me in!
UN-GO: Episode 0 – Inga-ron

「因果論」 (Inga-ron)
“Episode 0”
The passage of time has only increased my appreciation for UN-GO.

「劇場版 そらのおとしもの 時計じかけの哀女神（エンジェロイド）」 (Gekijouban Sora no Otoshimono: Tokeijikake no Enjeroido)
“Heaven’s Lost Property the Movie: The Angeloid of Clockwork”
Whenever something perverted happens, Tomoki is the yardstick by which I measure it. If Tomoki would have done it, it was probably awesome(ly perverted); if he wouldn’t have, you better get back to work, bud. As such, it should come as no surprise that I jumped at the chance to cover this movie. What might come as a surprise is the tone it takes, though that’s only if you’ve forgotten about the deeper side of Sora no Otoshimono, which is what makes this series so much more than your typical ecchi comedy.
Toradora! – OVA
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「弁当の極意」 (Bentou no Gokui)
“Secret of Bento”
Even though it’s not the sequel OVA that everyone hoped for, this unaired episode of Toradora! was nevertheless a great reminder why this series is one of my favorites.
Yozakura Quartet: Hoshi no Umi – 03 (END)

This post is over two months overdue, as the final manga-bundled OAD for Yozakura Quartet came out in early November, but I wanted to give a few quick impressions on this three-part series that goes all the way back to fall of 2010.
