How many episodes is this or just one?

[major]

what volumes does it cover?

[fllthdcrb]

Vol. 1 only.

We hope they'll make more, of course. But as this was crowdfunded, we might need another campaign or three to get the rest of the series.

Speaking of this, what do you think is best - watch this after finishing Vol 1 or after? Or instead? XD

how long? I know it says 58 mins but for a 4 hour novel i assume theres a mistake

Oh, definitely read the visual novels, I would say. As with most VNs, they're more detailed than their adaptations, and there are a number of things you won't find in the OVA, which had to gloss over quite a bit to fit in an hour. It's pretty fun. (Not that it isn't charming seeing it as an anime, in its own way, but it doesn't quite compare, for me.) There's also optional adult content (available as outside-Steam DLC and in the full versions), if you're into that.

Not to mention, there are two full volumes and one fandisc, plus another full volume and another fandisc on the way, none of which are in anime form (yet). And they get better in a number of ways, with Vol. 3 being the best in the series, IMO.

So, my recommendation is: Get the VNs, no question. (The proper order is 1, 0, 2, 3. So far.) Watch the OVA, maybe. You could decide that after reading Vol. 1. Or, I guess you could go the other way: watch the OVA, and if you like it, start in on the VNs.

No mistake. That's how long it is. Because that's what we funded for on Kickstarter. The initial goal was $100,000, and that secured a 20-min. OVA. They added 10 min. to that for every additional $100,000 that they got, up to a full hour for $500,000.

After that, it was additional subtitle languages at $600,000, a short story about Chocola and Vanilla (the main catgirls focused in Vol. 1 and this OVA) as a mini-VN at $800,000, and finally a mini-OVA adaptation of said mini-VN at $1,000,000. And we got it all in the end!

You think it's longer than you would expect? But having watched it, I didn't feel like there was much time wasted to cover the plot, and that anything shorter would have felt cramped.

Thanks for info!

[major]

Yes, thank you

Surely this should be put on Crunchyroll / Funimation.

At least in the UK they are the biggest (only really besides some trash) legal Anime.

It might mean a loss but it gains a following, thus creating more market for future videos
