2. Do You Need to Watch the OVAs?

The OVAs are additional character bits and do not contribute to the storyline, and so you may skip them if you want.

The specials are sub-series which have anywhere from two to four-episode and are supposed to be watched after each season. They are all chibi style and mostly consist of some fun moments and a bit of character development, mostly for the villains.
