It ambushes you visually before it ever gets around to a plot. Studio 4°C treated a magical girl side story like a design playground, and pairing that with Keita Amemiya, the mind behind Garo, means the creature work and the witchcraft look genuinely strange instead of cute. Six chapters, split three ways: Alice gets turned into a fish and later runs into a sealed heart, Sheila handles fairy paperwork and an ice witch at a waterfall, Eva pokes around the Dragon House. It is goofier and looser than the TV run, which is exactly the point, these are the off days the series never had room for. And the kicker: all of it was made while the show was airing, then shelved, only surfacing later across three DVDs. Fans spent years hearing these existed before anyone could actually watch them.

Tweeny Witches: The Adventures is a six-episode OVA companion to the Tweeny Witches TV series, produced by Studio 4C together with Keita Amemiya, the creator of Garo. The episodes come in pairs, with two chapters centered on each of Alice, Sheila and Eva, spread over three DVDs. Blending adventure, comedy and fantasy with magical girl elements, the set was made while the TV series was still airing but went unreleased until its DVD debut.
