Reception
Chris Beveridge of AnimeOnDVD.com offered a mixed review of the OVA. While he suggested the single episode might have worked better as part of a Media Blasters anthology, he acknowledged that the dubbed extras helped compensate. As for the show itself, he noted its appeal to viewers seeking heavy fan service without crossing into hentai, remarking: "There's plenty of fan service and nakedness throughout that will satisfy those who aren't brave enough to just buy hentai[,] but just feel wrong looking at the Rayearth girls in that way."
