I love the new OVA. I really do miss this series, and I do hope they will have another long running series for this.
As for Kugimiya Rie, I felt that she was too high pitched for Miu, and a bit too excited at times. At other times, she fit in fine, but overall, I really do miss Kawakami Tomoko (may she rest in peace) in this role. I think even Hirano Aya might be a better fit.
This episode really felt like an introductory episode, with introductions of the new villains. I heard from a friend that the series really picks it up after the last anime arc. I guess I miss Miu the most.
