Manglobe, huh? So they're actually sticking with an animation team for once. :P
There's, like, two chapters I'd like to see animated because S2 dropped the ball on them, but other than that I'm less interested in these... Though I wonder if Hata will deviously slip some sort of foreshadowing in here. Hey, he wrote original material for Manglobe's other two HnG series, why not?

Donkey Ears is a good chapter, and so is the RC Car one for Nagi and it looks like Maria might be getting the sauna chapter, but...I dunno. I think I'm past the point where I can get excited about a handful of random chapters being animated. Still going to watch them all, naturally... |

Overall, I rate the OVA a B-
It's about on the level of a good episode of Cuties and there's no new music, but they brought back everyone's favorite Narrator and the ED animation is super-cute. I think the Nagi episode is a little bit better done, just because Nagi is a lot more expressive and it helps break up the problem of having too many talking heads scenes that Cuties suffered from. The Hina ep is good too, though, especially the brief Mykonos bit. I'm feeling a bit less interested in the next two OVA's though, not so much disappointment as not being able to think of any really good chapters for them to pull from for Hamster, Izumi, and Ruka. |

That being said, I don't think Hata himself has actually said how he feels about that arc. Has he?

However, I'll add one small bit of perspective. Hata actually first started using twitter and interacting with his fans "raw" right around the time the Mykonos Arc was ending, and he was feeling pretty blindsided by all the rage he started getting instantly by Athena fans thinking he was writing her out of the story. So while he hasn't said anything like that directly, I would not be surprised if he just never wanted to set up that kind of backlash again where Athena is concerned. |

At least it's something that wouldn't have happened without his explicit approval.
Too bad, Hata. At most 20% of your viewers/readers share your preference. No matter how hard you try to write Nagi up and all the others down. |
