When I initially saw the specials I didn't realize they were separate from the main story until about 5 minutes into each. I was extremely confused when I saw episode 25 especially after how conclusive episode 24 was. To be honest, I was not a huge fan of the extras. They were good as far as sound and art, they used the same soundtrack as all the other episodes. The story behind these specific episodes was lacking, but isn't always in extras? That's the goal with extras so I don't resent the show for that. They were enjoyable to watch but not all that important.For me they are a must see though simply because I love the characters and I would watch anything with them in it. Amazing show, alright extras, I would recommend them for your free time. Overall the extras were fun but unnecessary.
