Interestingly different, Hyakko OVA doesn't seem much of an OVA, in my opinion, as much as I would expect an OVA to be some sort of a short movie. Running for about 10 minutes, this OVA could only pass as a short special or as one of its regular series episodes showing a very different side of Kazamatsuri Touma since in this one she hangs out and gets infected with her wild opposite, Torako's antics.
  

What makes Hyakko OVA seem more like a regular episode is that it chronicles another crazy day in the lives of Kamizono Gakuen students, much like how a regular fun-filled episode of the Hyakko series would go, only in this one, It's just Touma and Torako trying out a bunch of different sweets.
  

Touma's favorite café has closed down and apparently she is looking for another quiet spot where she and her reading fetish could hang out. Torako happened to overhear the situation and impulsively pounced on the chance to catch Touma's friendly side. With Torako's legendary persistence, Touma unwittingly, and just as to shut Torako up, accepted the offer. But it isn't just the quiet café, the weirdness of its "master", or the mounds of pastries and sweets. It's more of Torako's crazy and infectious antics.



I have read some reviews about the OVA mainly showing the disappointment of some fans, perhaps due to its length or the lack of a better and proper story, yet in my opinion, its not that bad or perhaps it could have been released with other, maybe similar, story shorts although I would say, this is better than nothing. Still, I had a good laugh.

     
One thing I'm fond of in movies or in TV is how the characters are given such unique individuality. Hyakko is a TV series based on a manga of the same name. A great mix of colorful "slice-of-life" and heaps of hilarity revolving around the school life of high-school students of a fictional Kamizono Academy in Kyūshū, Japan and the adventures/misadventures of the anime's four main heroines: Ayumi Nonomura, Torako Kageyama, Tatsuki Iizuka, and Suzume Saotome.


The story begins with Ayumi Nonomura, the extremely shy yet very popular among boys, freshman student. Being so timid and too absorbed on her troubles of making friends she got lost on her first day in what they would call "unnecessarily huge" school. The unfortunate incident though led to her meeting with the classy and intimidating Tatsuki who is also lost despite her being a student in Kamizono since elementary, Torako, the wild and energetic trouble-maker and the strong and silent Suzume. Troubles ensue as they try to find their way around school ending with Torako breaking windows and landing a powerful left on their homeroom teacher (whom she isn't aware of yet) knocking him out. Much trouble on the first day.


Like what I've mentioned earlier, I really love character development and individuality. Here's a glimpse on Hyakko's cast of weirdoes.


Well, more troubles, action, and tomfoolery happens on the succeeding episodes and I can't deny the truth on a comment I found on the online community, BakaBT which goes: "This anime makes me fart really hard." With too much laughing on the show I guarantee viewers much unwanted flatulence. :)
