Spoiler for what I think of this OVA so far (hiding for people who haven't seen it):

I gotta say so far I have mixed reactions on this OVA. I couldn't stand the first episode, except for the end bit where they made fun of the ending of Onikakushi-hen. I really doubted episode 2 would be any better, but I was curious to see why Rena looked so mad in the preview. That episode far exceeded what I had expected of it. I just loved the Tsukihime reference they threw in, and the how they did all the character things right. Naturally Mion had to fight with ohagi filled needles, Hanyuu was the token small annoying thing, Shion was focused on Satako, Rena liked cutting things and pouring gasoline, Keiichi was too awesome to be possessed and was secretly a bad guy, and Satoshi, who never got much of a chance to act completely insane in the series was naturally the scariest. The part where showed her real self and commented about Rika she replaced was probably my favorite part, and the bit where Satoko broke the fourth wall to comment on Rika wanting to be a woman also came pretty close. The ending was rather awkward, but I can't help but wonder if they intentionally did it that way. All and all, if all the other episodes turn out to be bad, I'll always remember the OVA for this episode, as it was worth watching.
