![]() ![]() It's really only a retelling of that single point in time where they fight the fire spirit and not much else. There is very little revelation about Emilia's past, how she actually met Puck, or why The dialogue is repetitive, vague, meandering, and abstract. There is very little substance otherwise. You learn that Puck is protecting Emilia from a fire spirit and the two form a contract to fight it, win against this self-proclaimed arbiter, and then profess their love for each other and intentions to leave the forest. Even if properly edited and paced, very little is actually revealed or actually transpires. They tried to turn a short OVA into a movie. Like another review mentioned, this is 40-50 minutes longer than it should be. What else is there to say? Give it a watch! It's really good and quite emotional! I couldn't stop myself from crying. We also get to see Puck's original form in this OVA which was not shown completely in season 1. His caring attitude towards her and willingness to protect her from any sort of harm (like a spirit named Melakuera who considered Emilia a threat due to her likeness to witch of envy) was admirable. Puck's relationship with Emilia was also highlighted here. Even after she saved a family from monsters, they still insulted her and were scared of her instead of showing gratitude. ![]() But even so, she still cared more about those villagers than herself and tried to keep them safe disregarding her own safety. Unfortunately, the villagers and even the kind old man betrayed her by confessing her location to some slave traders. They ran away whenever she went to the village and called her a witch except one old man who treated her kindly. Here we get to see Emilia's willingness to become friends with the villagers but sadly they treat her like a disease (so she hid her face mostly). We already know from season 1 how most people in Lugunica hated her because she looked like witch of envy. If anything, Subaru wasn't wrong when he called her EMT (angel), EMF (fairy) or EMM (goddess). They really amplified the emotions in certain scenes. The art was just as good (if not better) as in season 1 so nothing to complain about. ![]() We also get to see a little glimpse of season 2 that is, a little tease on Petelgeuse's backstory, an unknown voice at the start and Emilia's relatives. There were still many unanswered questions (like frozen statues of people and how Emilia was frozen herself) and unnamed foes who are yet to appear and will hopefully be covered in season 2. And after the credits, we have a lovely Emilia and Subaru interaction to lightenītw this OVA only gave a glimpse of her past. There are also some decent (but short) fighting scenes involving Emilia and Puck plus some badass Emilia scenes in which she gets really angry. It also showed her daily life, how she earned her livelihood before she was selected as a candidate for Lugunica's queen, her relationship with Puck, her first meeting with Puck, a little about Elior forest (her home), her powers, etc. It showed how Emilia was treated by villagers and how SHE treated them in return. ![]()
