Synopsis

*The Testament of Sister New Devil: Burst OVA* is a special original video animation released as a bundle with the seventh volume of the *Shinmai Maou no Testament* manga.

It was scheduled to ship alongside that volume in January 2016, offering an additional installment tied directly to the manga release.

Otaku Consensus

Burst OVA earns its niche reputation by understanding that the ecchi material is the feature, not the garnish; Hisashi Saitou’s direction and Sumio Uetake’s single-episode structure push quickly toward harem payoffs rather than pretending to be a major dramatic chapter. Fans praise it as a concentrated bonus for Shinmai Maou devotees, while the most common criticism is that Production IMS’s animation can feel merely functional, especially for viewers expecting the action-fantasy side to carry equal weight.

Why You Should Watch

Watch this if you want the uncensored-OVA energy of a battle harem without the downtime of a full cour. Burst OVA is built for viewers who already like Shinmai Maou’s mix of demons, domestic harem tension, nudity, and supernatural action, and who want a compact extra that treats fan service as the main event. It scratches a similar itch to High School DxD in its red-devil-girl action-fantasy lane, but this special is more of a targeted dessert than a new meal: one episode, bundled to reward existing manga/anime followers, with the familiar Basara-Mio-Maria-Yuki dynamic front and center. If your ideal OVA is direct, shameless, and character-focused rather than lore-heavy, this is exactly calibrated for that mood.

Key Characters

M
Maria Naruse(VA: Kaori Fukuhara)
Maria is one of the OVA’s key engines of harem mischief, giving the special much of the teasing, fan-service-forward tone viewers associate with Shinmai Maou.
M
Mio Naruse(VA: Ayaka Asai)
Mio remains central to the series’ demon-girl appeal, combining the supernatural hook with the red-headed heroine image that critics often compare to the broader High School DxD-style subgenre.
Y
Yuki Nonaka(VA: Sarah Emi Bridcutt)
Yuki supplies the cooler, more restrained counterweight in the main cast, aligning with the kuudere flavor strongly associated with this entry’s audience tags.
B
Basara Toujou(VA: Yuuichi Nakamura)
Basara is the male-protagonist anchor of the harem structure, the character around whom the OVA’s peaceful-but-provocative bonus-episode rhythm is organized.

What Makes It Stand Out

1
This is a one-episode OVA bundled with the seventh volume of the Shinmai Maou no Testament manga, making it a release designed for existing fans rather than a standalone TV installment.
2
Production IMS handles the animation, and reception around the studio’s work is split: viewers note consistent presentation in the franchise, while criticism of this OVA often targets limited or uneven animation quality.
3
The staff lineup keeps the franchise’s core creative identity visible, with original story credit to Tetsuto Uesu, original character design by Nekosuke Ookuma, direction by Hisashi Saitou, and series composition by Sumio Uetake.
4
AniList’s tag profile makes the OVA’s priorities unusually transparent: Female Harem and Kuudere both sit at 79%, Nudity at 73%, Demons at 66%, and Urban Fantasy at 60%.
5
Its reception numbers place it as a niche but widely sampled bonus episode: MAL lists a 6.76 score from 42,797 votes, while AniList records a 64/100 score and 228 favourites.

Fun Facts & Trivia

Fun fact 1: The full Japanese subtitle, Toujou Basara no Shigoku Heiwa na Nichijou, frames the OVA as a Basara-centered everyday-life bonus rather than a numbered continuation arc.
Fun fact 2: It aired on January 26, 2016, after the Burst TV season, and was released as a manga-volume bundle instead of a standard television broadcast episode.
Fun fact 3: The sound side is credited to Tsuyoshi Takahashi as sound director and Yasuyuki Konno for sound effects, a notable detail for an OVA whose impact depends heavily on timing, reaction beats, and ecchi staging.
Fun fact 4: Ryouka Kinoshita served as art director with Saaya Kinjou on art design, while Yoshiaki Kimura handled editing, showing that the special retained a full production pipeline despite being only one episode.
Fun fact 5: Critical discussion around the broader Testament of Sister New Devil anime often groups it with fan-service-heavy action fantasy titles like High School DxD, but this OVA narrows that formula into a compact, bonus-release format.
