I feel these specials are a must see for those who enjoyed the original series. They take place shortly after the end of the original series. It is a real treat to see the cast of characters all together after the events of episode 12. These specials provide a little extra dose of ecchi. In addition to that you get a couple humorous backstories on the characters. This is all wrapped in a pleasant interaction between the characters. Expect the antics and fun of the original series. I think it is the perfect little cap on the parent series. It left me very satisfied.
