These 4 episodes are a direct continuation of the first Kurumi series. I'm glad they returned to what the show is good at - fillerish silliness. The main story was way too serious for its own good and had me squirming with agony. But these 4 eps only contain the good stuff from the series and are fairly enjoyable ^_^ The superdeformed moments are especially cute....kyuuiiinnn

I found it sickening that ADV would promote the main Kurumi series in THAT manner; introducing the voice actresses and actors like nothing. And each episode was 15 minutes to boot. But when I got the chance to watch the series, I instantly fell in love. The "cute girl rubs against shy boy" theme never gets tiresome (if done the right way). So then comes the "Encore" and another season.

Steel Angel Kurumi Encore consists of Saki becoming a movie star, Karinka going on a "date", Kurumi trying to be more ladylike (although I do like her SD, squealing form better), and Nakahito becoming a target of wanton attention from a bunch of Steel Angels. Hilarity ensues, and I'm glad to have got the chance to experience it.

This four-episode OAV series takes place after the first TV series, and each episode is a stand-alone story. The first episode deals with Saki becoming a movie star. The second features Karinka going on a date. The third has Kurumi trying to act more feminine. The fourth episode features the return of every Steel Angel ever, in a Ranma-style competition over a kiss. The OAVs have more emphasis on character development and less on action. These episodes are great fun to watch and I enjoyed them quite a bit.
