Reception

Anime News Network's Maral Agnerian recommends it, calling it a "well-done 2-episode OVA that neatly balances gratuitous fanservice with bizarre comedy, with a bit of action thrown into the mix." However, THEM Anime Reviews gave it a negative review, calling the plot non-existent and mainly revolving around two things: Natsu's father being a pervert and Galan screwing up.
