Now we all know DanMachi has never been afraid of fan service and so behold Hermes preparation of swimsuits for the girls to change into, including one too small for Hestia that eventually snaps while trying to dress and an ‘improvised’ version is constructed. After the usual Lily and Hestia antics fighting over Bell (wait, you guys know you are still in the Dungeon right and should be paying attention) they are attacked and in the process Hestia ends up finding a new tunnel which leads to a hot spring (because anime). We catch up with the characters directly after the events in the series where Bell has just slain Goliath and they are making their way out of the dungeon.

Still, if you are a fan of DanMachi then you’ll probably know more or less what to expect here just keep in mind the title is not lying. I did have some minor expectations that it might fill in some of the character development I’ve come across in the light novels that wasn’t present in the original series, but sadly that is lacking as well. Simply put, it was obvious from the beginning that this is strictly filler and won’t be advancing the plot in any meaningful way.

This OVA was released on HiDive and I was happy enough to return to watching Bell and his friends given I’ve been reading the light novels and feel like I’ve been waiting forever for a second season of the anime, but even I didn’t have high expectations going in. This one barely needs reviewing really because to be perfectly honest between what people already know of the DanMachi ( Is it Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon) series and the title, it kind of tells you everything you need to know.
