Once again, we 're treated to a handful of short stories about the Toilet Bound Hanako gang while waiting on season 2 of the main series. The shorts were engaging and worth watching. Some were funny and some were a little weird. I didn't feel a need to skip any of the stories. That said, there wasn't anything super compelling happening or much that stood out above the rest of the stories. I had fun, but it left me wishing they'd just put season 2 of the main series out instead.

If you liked the first season of HSHk then you'll likely enjoy this season ...

Well this was certainly a step up from part 1! While still an omake-like series of short episodes, these were focused more on the characters themselves unlike the first part. Yeah there's mokke but they're not the exclusionary focus this time (which was the most aggravating thing and led to a Mixed review last time). Not canon by any means but still as enjoyable as watching the real deal.

Still as gorgeous of an art style like the past episodes! Has a lot more character interactions and fun bits that had me laughing. I can't wait to see this cast again come season 2.

4 episodes shorts making this "part 2" more of an OVA.

One thing I noted about this collection was, oddly enough, marketability. Hear me out.

I visited Japan earlier this year and not one but two of the episodes of this OVA were made specifically for a pop up event. The ghost hotel and the cafe. Both used for seasonal cafe pop ups in tokyo.

They were also heavily featured for merch.

The shorts themselves were... fine... The characters didn't really act like themselves so it lowers the score but for anyone looking for a morsel to tide them over, it exists at the very least.
