A Moment's Reprieve
This is the OVA side-story for the Hakuoki TV series. The sound and animation quality are about the same as in the TV series, both of which are really great. Each episode stars a different member of the Shinsengumi, following the stories from one of the games that hasn't had an English release...yet! (I've got my fingers crossed that it comes over eventually.) So technically none of this is actually filler. (Phew!) Rather than focus on battles, these episodes focus on Chizuru's relationships with the guys. No matter which relationship you're shipping, you're bound to get your money's worth of enjoyment!
Timeline-wise, this takes place toward the end of the first season. So don't worry if you haven't seen seasons 2 or 3 yet.
As with the other Hakuoki DVDs, this got the full dub treatment. I personally love the original Japanese vocal cast, but the English voice actors certainly do an excellent job as well.
If you ever wanted to know what the Shinsengumi...
Intereting OVA
This DVD contains 6 episodes. The tone of the OVA is fairly different from Season 1 & 2. There is a fair amount of levity and I have to admit that I caught myself laughing on more than one occasion. But this is by no mean a comedy. Expect to see some of the scenes several time since the majority of episodes are the retelling of the same event from various character perspective. This OVA expands on the Hakuoki universe offering a deeper insight into the various protagonist personalities and motivations: in other words character development. There is also plenty of action.
Language options are original Japanese and English dub along with English subtitles. I personally prefer the Japanese vocal cast. Special features are limited: clean opening and closing as well as a few previews on Disc 1.
Also, this take place prior to Record of the Jade Blood (season 2) so the character are still wearing their traditional Japanese garbs (thankfully). If you have not seen season 2, this OVA...
