Ema Asahina discovers an ornate lamp her father left behind, and when she and her stepbrothers rub it together, each of the brothers finds himself living out a wish tied to his feelings for her. The Sunrise Residence household cycles through the men's competing fantasies in quick succession, from knightly rescues to quieter confessions, before the lamp's magic runs its course.

Brothers Conflict OVA

Ema Asahina and her stepbrothers turn up in a pair of holiday-themed side stories across this two-part OVA. The first volume, Seiya, sends several of the brothers to Naeba for Fuuto's Christmas concert, where a snowboarding trip spirals into mishaps; the second, Honmei, has the household in an uproar over Valentine's chocolate after Wataru threatens to give Ema "reverse chocolate" first. Both episodes are supplementary vignettes released after the TV series, not new plot chapters.

Gugure! Kokkuri-san Specials

Gugure! Kokkuri-san Specials

ぐぐれ！コックリさん

These eleven shorts, bundled onto the Gugure! Kokkuri-san Blu-ray and DVD volumes, stay with the same household as the TV series: Kohina Ichimatsu and the spirit Kokkuri-san, who moved in to look after her. Rather than expanding the plot, each short-form episode plays out a self-contained comedic bit with the same cast and art style as the parent show. They work as bite-sized bonus material for viewers who already know the TV series rather than a starting point.

Pokémon: Mega Evolution Special

Pokémon: Mega Evolution Special

ポケットモンスターXY メガシンカスペシャル

Alain and his Charizard travel the Kalos region hunting down trainers who have mastered Mega Evolution, and their first opponent is Astrid and her Mega Absol, a battle watched from the sidelines by a young trainer named Mairin. Alain works for the mysterious Lysandre, who runs Lysandre Labs and has reasons of his own for chasing the phenomenon. Mairin and her Chespin attach themselves to Alain as traveling companions, and the search eventually crosses paths with Hoenn Champion Steven.

這いよれ!ニャル子さんＷＷにさよなら/この温泉に恋の混沌を

Nyaruko, Cthuko, and Hasuta head to a hot-spring bathhouse with newcomer Tamao Kurei in this OVA bundled with the second season's home-video release. Their rivalry over Mahiro Yasaka follows them into the baths, where steam, towels, and jealous outbursts turn a relaxing trip into another comedic showdown. As a bonus episode rather than new-season content, it leans on running gags from Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W's established cast dynamics.

Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky

Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky

エスカ＆ロジーのアトリエ～黄昏の空の錬金術士～

Their partnership anchors this adaptation of the role-playing game.

Gatchaman Crowds: Embrace

Gatchaman Crowds: Embrace

ガッチャマンクラウズエンブレイス

Hajime Ichinose's confrontation with the alien parasite Berg Katze, the climax of the first season, returns here in expanded form with roughly fifteen minutes of new footage exclusive to this home-video release. The added scenes fill out what the original broadcast compressed, laying out Hajime's reasoning in the moments the TV cut skipped past. Billed as a special rather than a new episode, it works as a director's-cut companion to episode 12 rather than a standalone story.

Love Stage!! OVA: It Wasn't Just a Little

Love Stage!! OVA: It Wasn't Just a Little

LOVE STAGE!! チョットジャナクッテ

Aspiring manga artist Izumi Sena and rising actor Ryouma Ichijou are now a couple, but two weeks apart while Ryouma films on location leave Izumi withdrawn and unsure about their physical relationship.

Strike Witches: Operation Victory Arrow

Strike Witches: Operation Victory Arrow

ストライクウィッチーズ Operation Victory Arrow

Set in the gap between the second TV season and the Strike Witches movie, this three-part OVA catches up with members of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing after their unit is disbanded and they scatter to their home bases. The first episode follows Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke, Gertrud Barkhorn, and Erica Hartmann settling back into life at St. Trond. The other two check in on Charlotte Yeager and Francesca Lucchini in the Mediterranean, then on Perrine Clostermann and Lynette Bishop, as new Neuroi skirmishes pull each of them back into the fight.

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha

いなり、こんこん、恋いろは。いなり、こんこん、蝉時雨。

Fushimi Inari, now able to shapeshift with a wish granted by the fox goddess Uka-no-Mitama-no-Kami, spends a summer afternoon with her fox companion Kon while Tanbabashi Kouji's younger brother Shirou tags along underfoot. This unaired OVA, bundled with the manga's eighth limited-edition volume, sets aside the main love-triangle plot to focus on Inari and Kon's day-to-day bond in Kyoto's Fushimi ward.

DRAMAtical Murder: Data_xx_Transitory

DRAMAtical Murder: Data_xx_Transitory

DRAMAtical Murder Data_xx_Transitory

Aoba Seragaki, his AllMate companion Ren, and the island of Midorijima return for a single bonus episode that steps away from the main TV series' ending. Instead of continuing that story, the special adapts branches of the original visual novel the television run skipped, revisiting Koujaku, Noiz, Clear, and Mink from angles the main series never took. It is supplementary material rather than a continuation.

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 2wei! Specials

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 2wei! Specials

Fate/kaleid liner プリズマ☆イリヤツヴァイ! ショートアニメ

Illyasviel von Einzbern and Rin Tohsaka headline a run of short extras bundled with the Blu-ray and DVD volumes of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 2wei!, alongside Illya's dark counterpart Chloe von Einzbern, Illya's partner Miyu Edelfelt, and Luviagelita Edelfelt, the magus who took Miyu in and gave her the Edelfelt name. Away from the TV series' battles, the five spend their downtime on comic, low-stakes antics around the Einzbern household. Five shorts accompany the home-video release rather than forming a continuous story of their own.

Maken-Ki! Two Specials

Maken-Ki! Two Specials

マケン姫っ！通 P～私事

Shikigami user Kodama Himegami and Takeru's self-declared fiancee Inaho Kushiya lead the Maken-Ki! Two cast through five Blu-ray-exclusive shorts of quick, fanservice-heavy comedy released under the banner "P: Watakushigoto." Packaged with the Maken-Ki! Two home release, the episodes sit outside the TV series' main story and hand side characters brief spotlight moments the broadcast run had no room for.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Heart Throb

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Heart Throb

中二病でも恋がしたい！戀

Yuuta Togashi and Rikka Takanashi are officially a couple, but their relationship stalls at awkward hand-holding while Rikka remains deep in her chuunibyou persona as the Wicked Eye. When Satone Shichimiya, Yuuta's chuunibyou partner from middle school and self-styled Sophia Ring SP Saturn VII, transfers into their high school, Rikka treats her arrival as a declaration of war. Their rivalry plays out in theatrical fantasy battles alongside the returning Far East Magic Napping Society members Sanae Dekomori, Shinka Nibutani, and Kumin Tsuyuri. This second season continues directly from the first.

Sabage-bu! Specials

Sabage-bu! Specials

さばげぶっ！OVA SPECIAL MISSION

These short specials, bundled with the Sabage-bu! Blu-ray volumes, drop straight back into the Survival Game Club's world of airsoft drills and unhinged enthusiasm, with Momoka Sonokawa still caught in the middle of president Miou Ootori's schemes. Clubmates Urara Kasugano and Kayo Goutokuji round out the cast for these bite-sized bonus episodes, which run alongside rather than continue the main TV series' story. Six shorts in total accompanied the show's home video release.

Senki Zesshou Symphogear G: Senki Zesshou Shinai Symphogear

Senki Zesshou Symphogear G: Senki Zesshou Shinai Symphogear

戦姫絶唱シンフォギアG 戦姫絶唱しないシンフォギア

Hibiki Tachibana, Tsubasa Kazanari, Chris Yukine and Maria Cadenzavna Eve are redrawn in super-deformed proportions for these two shorts, which shipped with the home video volumes of Symphogear G instead of airing. At roughly a quarter of an hour each, they drop the Noise and the relic-armour fights for straight comedy, and the Japanese title is the series' own name with a negation stuck onto it. This is supplementary material, not a part of the season's story.

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn: Episode EX - 100 Years of Solitude

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn: Episode EX - 100 Years of Solitude

機動戦士ガンダムUC episode EX「百年の孤独」

Zeonism and the Newtype question get traced back through the original Gundam, Zeta, ZZ and Char's Counterattack in this half-hour recap, which shipped with the seventh volume of the Gundam Unicorn discs and was meant to be watched before that episode. Char Aznable and Amuro Ray supply most of what is on screen, and the piece is organized around the ideas attached to them rather than around a story of its own.

A Town Where You Live OVA

A Town Where You Live OVA

君のいる町 OVA

Childhood friends Haruto Kirishima, Akari Kaga, and Takashi Yura meet for the first time in the flashback chapter that opens this two-part OVA, a prologue set before the TV series. The second half adapts the manga's final volume and brings the long-running Kimi no Iru Machi to its close. Together the two episodes bookend the franchise, filling in the beginning the anime never covered and finishing what the manga started.

Mushibugyou OVA

Mushibugyou OVA

ムシブギョー OVA

In an Edo where giant insects called Mushi have been overrunning the country for a century, Jinbei Tsukishima takes his injured father's place in the Mushibugyou, the shogunate office raised against them, and joins its City Patrol as its weakest member. Hibachi fights with explosives, Mugai carries the unit's best sword, and Jinbei trains to close the distance. These three OVA episodes shipped with the fifteenth through seventeenth volumes of the manga, as side material rather than a continuation.

Encouragement of Climb Season 2

Encouragement of Climb Season 2

ヤマノススメセカンドシーズン

Aoi Yukimura, a first-year high school student afraid of heights, keeps climbing anyway, with Hinata Kuraue pulling her along. This second season stretches to fifteen-minute episodes and widens the group: middle schooler Kokona Aoba and the experienced upperclassman Kaede Saitou join trips that range from backyard camping and summer homework to the mountain the two friends have aimed at since childhood. New climbing acquaintances turn up on trails around the country.

Gundam Build Fighters Try

Gundam Build Fighters Try

ガンダムビルドファイターズトライ

Fumina Hoshino is the last member standing in the Gunpla Battle Club at Seiho Academy, and she needs two more to enter a team in the All Japan Gunpla Battle Championship. She recruits Sekai Kamiki, a transfer student who grew up travelling for martial arts training, and Yuuma Kousaka, a builder who cares about the models more than the fights. Gunpla Battle brings the kits they assemble to life, seven years on from the first Build Fighters tournament.

Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation - The Promised Eternity (True End)

Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation - The Promised Eternity (True End)

超次元ゲイムネプテューヌ The Animation 約束のエターナル -True End-

Bundled as a bonus disc rather than broadcast, this unaired episode gives the four CPU goddesses, Neptune, Noire, Blanc, and Vert, a proper send-off alongside Nepgear, Uni, IF, and Compa. Billed as the true ending of Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation, it closes out the plot threads the broadcast run left open rather than starting a new arc, and works only as a coda to that series, not as a standalone entry point.

Sengoku BASARA - End of Judgement

Sengoku BASARA - End of Judgement

戦国BASARA Judge End

With Toyotomi Hideyoshi gone, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari raise rival armies and the country starts choosing sides for Sekigahara. Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura pick their way between the two camps as the alliances form around them. Rather than continuing the earlier Samurai Kings anime, this television series adapts the game Sengoku Basara 3 and restages the era with mechanized samurai, ninja and gunners trading impossible special moves.

Pokémon: Pikachu, What's This Key?

Pokémon: Pikachu, What's This Key?

ポケモン・ザ・ムービーXY『ピカチュウ、これなんのカギ？』

Pikachu and the other Pokémon are playing outside a cottage while their trainers rest, and Dedenne gets thrown off a roundabout, slips through an open cellar window and comes back up with a key stuck to its tail. Down among the stored pottery and furniture they meet Klefki, who holds the keys to the worlds where Mythical Pokémon live, and Chespin and Fennekin follow them in. This short played in theaters alongside the seventeenth Pokémon film.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's Picture Drama

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's Picture Drama

魔法少女リリカルなのはA's ピクチャードラマ医療少女メディカルシャマルセカンドコース

Subaru Nakajima, Teana Lanster and Vivio host a radio show whose job is to sell the Blu-ray box sets they are on, and this picture drama is the episode that came with the A's set. It continues Iryou Shoujo Medical Shamal, the sketch that started on the disc for the second A's film, with Shamal of the Wolkenritter cast as its medical girl. There is no animation to it, just stills and voices.

Houkago no Oujisama

Houkago no Oujisama

放課後の王子様

Off the court, Ryoma Echizen and the Seishun Academy tennis club deal with a creepy kokeshi doll someone left in the locker room, Halloween costumes nobody bothered to research, and the rest of what fills the hours after practice. Players from the rival schools turn up too. Adapted from Ken-ichi Sakura's four-panel parody strip and bundled with the vs. Genius 10 OVA discs, these five flash-animated shorts are a gag supplement to the tennis story, not a continuation of it.

Ghost in the Shell: Nyuumon Arise

Ghost in the Shell: Nyuumon Arise

攻殻機動隊入門あらいず

Logiko and Comako host this primer on the Ghost in the Shell: Arise films, a pair spun off from the Logicoma think tanks that run errands for Motoko Kusanagi's team. Twenty-six short episodes explain the cyberbrain setting to viewers meeting it for the first time. Between its fourth and fourteenth entries the slot also carried Kabushiki Gaisha: Kyuuka, a gag short with Kusanagi running a company. The show is a companion piece to Arise rather than a place to begin.

Inazuma Eleven: Choujigen Dream Match

Inazuma Eleven: Choujigen Dream Match

イナズマイレブン超次元ドリームマッチ

Mamoru Endou keeps goal for the Inazuma Best Eleven, a side assembled by fan vote out of every team the football series has fielded, with Shuuya Gouenji and Tenma Matsukaze lining up in front of him. Facing them is the Battle Eleven, a squad built from the rivals those same votes remembered, Hakuryuu included. The short film is that one match and nothing more, a fixture that could not exist inside the games, and it assumes viewers already know where each player came from.

Keroro

Keroro

ケロロ

The frog-like alien Keroro is still living with siblings Fuyuki and Natsumi Hinata years after his invasion plot collapsed, and this flash-animated redux picks the household back up from there. Fellow platoon members Giroro, Tamama, Kururu, and Dororo return for new schemes and everyday mishaps pulled from manga chapters published well past the original TV series' stopping point. Made for the property's fifteenth anniversary, each episode runs just three minutes, compressing a whole sketch into a single fast-paced gag.

Initial D Legend 1: Awakening

Initial D Legend 1: Awakening

新劇場版　頭文字［イニシャル］D Legend1 -覚醒-

Takumi Fujiwara has no interest in cars, even though every morning he drives his father Bunta's old AE86 up and down Mount Akina on tofu deliveries and knows every hairpin by heart. When the Akagi RedSuns, led by the brothers Ryosuke and Keisuke Takahashi, challenge the local Akina SpeedStars to an exchange race, the SpeedStars are hopelessly outclassed, and their one chance is the black-and-white 86 that left Keisuke behind on the mountain one foggy morning. This film opens the New Initial D trilogy, which retells the start of the manga in 3DCG.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Heart Throb - The Rikka Wars

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Heart Throb - The Rikka Wars

中二病でも恋がしたい！戀再生の…邪王真眼黙示録

This bonus episode caps the second season, Heart Throb, with Yuuta Togashi and Rikka Takanashi a year into dating and still clumsy about it. Their first real rift opens when a flash drive Makoto Isshiki slips to Yuuta sparks Rikka's jealousy and a full-blown spat. Their friend Satone Shichimiya and Yuuta's sister Kuzuha step in to push the two back together. It plays as a standalone OVA extra rather than a continuation of the main story.

Chain Chronicle: Short Animation

Chain Chronicle: Short Animation

チェインクロニクル ~ショートアニメ~

These eight five-minute shorts introduce Yuri, a swordsman leading the Chain Chronicle world's Volunteer Army, and the sprite Pirika who guides him in the fight to protect the songstress Phoena from the invading Black Army. Adapting Sega's mobile RPG Chain Chronicle, the shorts exist mainly to establish the setting, cast, and stakes before the franchise's later TV series and film trilogy pick up the story in full.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!: Rikka Version Lite

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!: Rikka Version Lite

中二病でも恋がしたい！小鳥遊六花回ムービー Lite

In middle school, Yuuta Togashi called himself the Dark Flame Master and acted out elaborate delusions of hidden power in front of his exasperated family. This flashback follows that phase, with his younger sister Kuzuha and their mother reacting to the fallout with a mix of embarrassment and affection. Packaged with the Blu-ray release of the Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! movie, the five-minute short plays as a standalone comedic aside rather than a continuation of the film's story.

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun Specials

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun Specials

月刊少女野崎くんミニOVA

Chiyo Sakura confessed her crush to classmate Umetarou Nozaki only to be handed an autograph: he assumed she was a fan and, it turns out, secretly draws shoujo manga under the pen name Sakiko Yumeno. These short specials extend that comedy in chibi form, with a miniature Sakura coaxing Nozaki to watch alongside her before a crowd of tiny Nozaki-kuns in different outfits leaves her wondering if she's dreaming. Each runs a few minutes as DVD and Blu-ray extras.

This film sits inside the Yamato 2199 continuity, following directly from the TV series.

The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior

僕らはみんな河合荘

Kazunari Usa, a high school freshman finally living on his own, moves into the Kawai Complex boarding house only to find that Ritsu Kawai, a quiet, book-obsessed upperclassman he admires, already lives there. The other tenants are less calming: his roommate Shirosaki is a novelist with masochistic tendencies, Mayumi is an office worker on a post-breakup spiral, and Sayaka is a college student who enjoys stirring up trouble. Usa navigates daily life at the boarding house while trying to get closer to the perpetually absorbed Ritsu.

Kusanagi reads it as a self-destructing virus planted in their cyberbrains by the hacker called Fire Starter, and Batou pulls a cyborg girl named Emma Tsuda out of the panic. This fourth Arise film follows straight on from Ghost Tears.

Blue Spring Ride OVA

Blue Spring Ride OVA

アオハライド OVA

Two bonus episodes sit beside the Blue Spring Ride series. 'Unwritten' goes back to middle school, where Futaba Yoshioka, who has no patience for boys in general, keeps trading shy glances with Kou Tanaka and cannot name what she feels. 'Page.13' joins the second-year group at a summer festival, where Yuuri Makita turns up in a yukata set on getting closer to Kou while Futaba watches from the edge. Neither short moves the television story forward.

Space Dandy

Space Dandy

Space☆Dandy

Dandy, a pompadour-sporting alien hunter, cruises the galaxy aboard the Aloha Oe with his outdated robot assistant QT and a cat-like alien named Meow, searching for undiscovered species to register at the Alien Registration Center for bounty money. Their hunts routinely spiral into dimension-hopping mishaps, zombie outbreaks, and run-ins with the Gogol Empire, whose agent Dr. Gel pursues Dandy for reasons Dandy himself never notices. Each episode resets the stakes, playing fast and loose with continuity in favor of standalone adventures.

His little sister Mashiro comes along, and so do Kobeni and her older sister Benio. A late-night trek into the forest to catch a glimpse of whatever is supposedly out there goes sideways almost immediately, one mishap after another keeping the group from spotting anything at all. This spinoff special sits alongside the Engaged to the Unidentified TV series rather than continuing its plot, running the same four-person household as a stand-alone comic detour.

Space Dandy 2nd Season

Space Dandy 2nd Season

Space☆Dandy 2nd Season

Dandy is a self-styled alien hunter who roams the galaxy registering newly discovered species for cash, traveling with the worn-out robot QT and the cat-like alien Meow.

The trio bumbles through fresh encounters, odd planets, and unfamiliar creatures, still mostly broke and still chasing the next bounty.

Nisekoi OVA

Nisekoi OVA

ニセコイ OVA

These Nisekoi original episodes, bundled with the manga, return to Raku Ichijou and Chitoge Kirisaki, the gangster heirs forced into a fake relationship to keep their families' rival yakuza factions at peace. Split into short segments, the entries follow side beats around the cast: Kosaki Onodera and Raku circling their feelings, a New Year's shrine visit, and a trip to the public bath. The shorts stay with the existing characters rather than extending the main story.

Glasslip

Glasslip

Glasslip

Touko Fukami, a glass-craft apprentice in the seaside town of Hinodehama, spends her last high-school summer with four close friends at the Kazemichi cafe. Their group settles when transfer student Kakeru Okikura arrives and tells Touko he hears a voice from the future that has led him to her.

The Pleiades, Ainz Ooal Gown's maid squad, gather for a tea break between missions in this five-minute picture drama, made to promote a deluxe edition of the sixth Overlord light novel that shipped with a drama CD.

Beyond the Boundary Specials

Beyond the Boundary Specials

境界の彼方ミニ劇場

Mirai Kuriyama and Akihito Kanbara headline seven short comedy skits bundled with Beyond the Boundary's Blu-ray and DVD volumes, joined by siblings Hiroomi and Mitsuki Nase and the rest of the spirit-warrior cast.

Black Bullet: Tenchuu☆Girls

Black Bullet: Tenchuu☆Girls

天誅ガールズ「ミライ＊ガール」

Enju Aihara, the young Cursed Child who fights alongside Rentaro Satomi in Black Bullet, is a devoted fan of Tenchuu☆Girls, a magical-girl anime that exists only inside that series. This one-minute special stands in as the fictional show's opening sequence, theme song and all. Bundled with the fourth Blu-ray and DVD volume of Black Bullet, it functions as a stylistic wink at the parent show rather than as a story episode in its own right.

Kuroko's Basketball: Let's Do That Again

Kuroko's Basketball: Let's Do That Again

黒子のバスケもう一回やりませんか

Before Seirin, Tetsuya Kuroko played at Teikou Middle School alongside a talented Daiki Aomine, back when the two were partners rather than rivals.

Amagi Brilliant Park: Wakuwaku Mini Theater - Rakugaki Backstage

甘城ブリリアントパーク「わくわくミニシアターらくがきバックステージ」

Bundled with the Blu-ray and DVD releases of Amagi Brilliant Park, these seven shorts pull Seiya Kanie, Isuzu Sento, and the park's fairy staff backstage for quick comedic skits between episodes. Latifa and the rest of the cast riff on their own show in miniature "mini theater" sketches, poking fun at recording sessions and character quirks rather than continuing the story. Each segment runs only a couple of minutes and leaves the main plot untouched.

Engaged to the Unidentified OVA

Engaged to the Unidentified OVA

未確認で進行形「鴨肉って緑っぽい味がするのね。」

Kobeni Yonomori and Mashiro Mitsumine, the two arranged fiancés of the Engaged to the Unidentified TV series, headline a pair of side stories in this bonus episode. Kobeni recalls a childhood memory involving her older sister Benio, while Mashiro shares an anecdote from her own upbringing in the mountains alongside her brother Hakuya. Neither story touches the household's ongoing antics; the episode is a quiet look backward at the two leads before the arrangement that brought them together.

あの夏で待ってる特別編「僕達は高校最後の夏を過ごしながら、あの夏を待っている。」

Two years on from the summer the TV series covered, Kaito Kirishima looks back on what changed his life, while friends Remon Yamano, Kanna Tanigawa, Mio Kitahara, and Tetsurou Ishigaki have each settled into new routines.

名探偵コナン江戸川コナン失踪事件~史上最悪の二日間~

When Professor Agasa's bath breaks down, Conan Edogawa, Ran Mouri, and Ai Haibara head to a public bathhouse instead, and there Conan slips, hits his head, and appears to lose his memory entirely. As people around him start treating the amnesia as an opportunity, Conan quietly clocks a suspicious man stashing something in a locker and works the case from behind a memory loss that isn't quite what it looks like. Marking the manga's 20th anniversary, this TV special borrows its central conceit from the real 1926 disappearance of Agatha Christie.

Witch Craft Works Specials

Witch Craft Works Specials

なぜなに！？うぃっちくらふとわ～くす

Six five-minute shorts, released as Blu-ray and DVD bonus content under the title Naze Nani!? Witch Craft Works, revisit fire witch Ayaka Kagari and her charge Honoka Takamiya between episodes of the TV series. Framed as a quick trivia and skit corner rather than a continuation of the main plot, they poke fun at side details of Honoka and Kagari's guardian arrangement without touching the story's witch-faction conflict.

My Neighbor Seki OVA

My Neighbor Seki OVA

となりの関くん OVA

Bundled with the manga's fifth volume, this OVA collects two shorts built on the setup that drives the whole series. Toshinari Seki turns his desk into an elaborate playground of games and hobbies during class, and deskmate Rumi Yokoi can't stop watching, no matter how hard she tries to ignore him. One short traces back to how Seki and Yokoi first met as kids; the other lets a stray cat wander into Seki's latest game.

Bundled with the eleventh light-novel volume, this OVA gathers the Quest Dorm residents, among them Hatate Souta, Akane Mahougasawa, Nanami Knight Bladefield, and Megumi Touzokuyama, for a Christmas party built around the King Game and other holiday antics. It is a standalone comic special rather than a continuation of the main story, leaning harder into fan-service and ensemble gags than into the flag-reading premise the TV series was built on.

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire: Mega Special Animation

『ポケットモンスターオメガルビー・アルファサファイア』メガスペシャルアニメーション

Little Busters! EX

リトルバスターズ！ EX

Riki Naoe's circle of childhood friends widens as three characters who stayed on the sidelines of the main story step forward: Kanata Futaki, Sasami Sasasegawa, and Saya Tokido. Each gets a dedicated arc placed at a different point along the Little Busters! timeline, giving Kyousuke, Rin, Komari, and the rest of the group new company as the team keeps recruiting. These eight episodes run alongside the Refrain TV series rather than continuing directly from it.

LRIGs Midoriko and Piruluk host their own in-universe talk show, fielding viewer questions and welcoming guests between rounds of playful banter.

世界征服～謀略のズヴィズダー～新・ズヴィズダー大作戦

Kate Hoshimiya and her Zvezda teammates launch their own idol unit in this unaired thirteenth episode of World Conquest Zvezda Plot, included as a bonus with the show's home video release rather than broadcast on TV.

Hetalia: The Beautiful World Extra Disc

ヘタリア The Beautiful World えくすとらでぃすく

North Italy, England, Germany, and the rest of the personified nations return for a single bonus episode packaged with the Beautiful World home video release. The five-minute short adapts a Hetalia manga chapter that never made it to broadcast, keeping to the series' formula of national stereotypes played as slapstick history-class gags rather than a connected plot. It is fan-disc extra content, not a new story arc.

Step Up Love Story (2014)

ふたりエッチ（2014）

Twelve years after the first Futari Ecchi OVA, Makoto and Yura Onoda return in three new episodes built around fresh, standalone stories rather than a retelling of the earlier series. This 2014 OVA trims some of the original supporting cast while introducing others, including Miyuki Kikuchi and Rui Watanabe, as the newlyweds keep working through the everyday embarrassments of learning intimacy together. It was released alongside a box set bundling all seven Futari Ecchi OVAs to date.

世界一初恋～バレンタイン編～

Marukawa Shoten's editorial staff face down Valentine's Day in this original fifteen-minute short, screened as a companion piece to the Yokozawa Takafumi feature film.

俺の脳内選択肢が、学園ラブコメを全力で邪魔している OVA

Kanade Amakusa lives under Absolute Choice, a curse that drops multiple-choice prompts into his head and forces whichever option he picks to come true.

Absolute Choice surfaces inside the game too, shoving him into ridiculous actions that wreck every path. The short story sits alongside the main TV series.

Kuroko's Basketball 2nd Season NG-shuu

黒子のバスケ2 NG集

Short animated bloopers built from the gag extras at the ends of the Kuroko's Basketball manga volumes, bundled with the home video release of the second TV season. Kuroko, Kagami and their rivals among the Generation of Miracles fumble lines and replay moments for comic effect, in nine shorts of about two minutes each. The skits are bonus comedy tied to the second season, not part of the main story.

Sword Art Offline: Extra Edition

Sword Art Offline: Extra Edition

そーどあーと・おふらいん Extra Edition

A bonus short bundled with the Sword Art Online: Extra Edition home release, staged as a chibi talk show rather than a story. Kirito, Asuna and Leafa anchor it with Yui, Kirito and Asuna's AI daughter, as the guest, running a trivia corner on how the Cardinal System logged players and talking over clips from the Extra Edition. It is supplementary cast banter, not new narrative material.

Kuroko's Basketball: Would You Like To Chat

お喋りでもしませんか

Tetsuya Kuroko and the Seirin team sit down with the Generation of Miracles for a talk rather than a game in this special, bundled with the franchise's second fan disc. Taiga Kagami, Daiki Aomine, Shintarou Midorima and Seijuurou Akashi look back over the Winter Cup matches the second season covered, trading jokes and needling one another between recaps. No new games are played and nothing said changes the tournament story; it is an extra made for owners of that disc.

Theatre of Darkness: Yamishibai 2

Theatre of Darkness: Yamishibai 2

闇芝居2

A masked storyteller returns for another set of four-minute Japanese ghost stories, each episode a self-contained legend: a ventriloquist's cursed dummy, a locker that grants wishes at a price, a capsule-toy machine that returns lost belongings, and a dish called Ominie-san with an appetite of its own. This second season of Yami Shibai keeps the kamishibai paper-theater art style and anthology structure of the original.
