Asking myself why they should do a special ... a rework to fill the plot holes would be interesting, haha.

Wouldn't it be better to have it standalone like the clannad specials?
The first Clannad special was included with the Clannad discs. The second was included with the discs of the sequel, Clannad: After Story.

If this were being included with the sequel of Angel Beats or as a stand alone OVA, it would get its own entry. But it's not. It's an additional special included in the box set of the original TV series.

I see. Well I guess that makes sense.

Not like my on-hold list has anything other than a bunch of OVA-series waiting for conclusion anyway, might as well add another entry to it :>

I don't really understand why a series that airs it's season a cour apart are listed as different entries yet when there's five years between Specials they'll still list them as a single entry. It wasn't as egregious as this but they did the same thing with Assassination Classroom's OVA. Oh well, I was going to watch this regardless & I guess I might not have heard about it otherwise . . .

Because one's a series and the other is an OVA or special.

Yeah but wasn't the reason seasons are separated for split-cours is to not inconvenience people's list? Like, I remember it being something like they don't want "currently airing" on there for three months when it's break. Yet switching the status of a series on someone's list isn't inconvenient? I know the issues are different in each case but it just seems sort of arbitrary to me. I think it's more logical to add a new entry for this rather than tacking it on to a five year old entry.

But that said, I totally missed the post last page explaining it. While I'd still prefer it being separated, it makes more sense now. Not like I was losing any sleep over this though.

Yes and tv series are the biggest part of the series and the most popular so it's easier and more worth it to do it for them. OVAs forever have been coming out randomly so they can't really do it the same. It's less inconvenient than doing it to the tv series.
Maybe you should as a mod their full reason. No doubt they looked at the pros and cons and have reasons for all of it that I have not mentioned.

Sometimes I wonder if they are digging these OVAs out of the recycle bin or actually manage to work on it five years later.
