Not bad. Definitely better than the other 2 OVAs. Art and animation not too great. Although there was a funny disparity between the the quality of Erza's design and that of the other characters. Guess the anime team knew what they wanted to focus on. XD

The extensions were pretty plain, especially the family moments depicting various side chars, but that doesn't mean they were bad. Wish they would come up with new jokes though. Girls getting drunk has only been used once before, so still fun. Gray and Natsu fighting is mundane. And given the current arc... >.> More stuff like Ch459&460 please. :3 Last Chapters whose humour I enjoyed wholeheartedly. .-.

Score: 5/10 Definition of an average adaptation. Nothing bad (I take the bad art and animation for granted nowadays), but nothing that would make me want to watch it rather than simply reading the omake.
