Fate... Is Really... (Episode 0) — "Actually, this story happened (seven months) before I got to know Rea. That day, we drove to a relative's place in Tohoku. My uncle piled up a bunch of books in his warehouse. So he decided to sort them out and move them to the family archives. And we were asked to help sort those books. Gramps and Baabu were looking after the house. I still do not know why Ranko came with us." — Furuya Chihiro
Visiting Tohoku brings back nightmarish memories of Chihiro's mother's violent death, something his father, Furuya Doon does not want to talk about. Among the huge book pile Chihiro notices an old picture of his mother, letting him discover a mysterious book on the topic of resurrecting the dead. Later in a nearby onsen, Chihiro encounters Rea for the first time.
Body of a Zombie... Heart of... (Episode 14) — Sanka Aria, Sanka Dan'ichirou's second wife, is still driven to alcohol by her husband's obsession with his daughter Rea. Taking a bath, Aria seems to dream...

One episode is a prequel to everything and the other episode is a continuation of the last episode, so fans of Sankarea get to enjoy more material from past to future episodes.

If you have loved Sankarea, then watch also these two OVAs that adds more plot, and depth, to the regular serie! And hope there'll be a sequel! ;)

12, female, , calmFree from excitement or passion., emotionally stuntedAn emotionally stunted person has a crippled ability to feel or express emotions. That may range from a somewhat decreased ability to express one`s feelings to not having emotions at all. The kuudere archetype draws heavily from this characteristic. This personality trait may be a symptom of a medical condition such as autism or post-traumatic stress disorder. This is not to be confused with a deadpan person, who deliberately suppresses the expression of their emotions., logicalThis character is capable of reasoning or of using reason in an orderly cogent fashion., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., scarf tieA scarf tie is an item that would ordinarily be a scarf, but which is being used to tie a collar, typically a low-cut collar, well below the neck line, or attached in a similar way. Scarf ties are a common part of the sailor uniform frequently seen worn by Japanese schoolgirls. A scarf tie is not to be confused with a regular scarf; they should be treated separately. It is also not a ribbon tie; in fact, despite the name, a scarf tie is not a type of tie at all., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., small breastsSmall breasts (flat chested) are breasts that would be considered below the average size for real life medium breasts., studentA student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. The may be understood to mean only those enrolled in some sort of educational institution, but, in its widest use, it applies to anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university, or younger researchers or artists learning from a more experienced colleague and mentor.

female, , black hairThe character has black hair., friendlyA friendly person is generally considered warm, approachable and easy to relate with in character., hair clipA small metal or plastic clip used to keep the hair in a certain style, or sometimes just for style., hime cutA hime cut is a hairstyle consisting of straight, short (usually cheek-length to shoulder-length) sidelocks, and frontal bangs/fringe, specifically in the blunt bangs style. The short sidelocks ("hime locks") can be accompanied by longer sidelocks behind the hime locks, and still qualify the hairstyle as a hime cut. The defining feature is the layered or "staircase" look that is formed with the bangs and the short hime locks.
If the sidelocks are not distinct, it is likely a bob cut., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., studentA student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. The may be understood to mean only those enrolled in some sort of educational institution, but, in its widest use, it applies to anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university, or younger researchers or artists learning from a more experienced colleague and mentor., undeadno description set, yamato nadeshikoThe ideal Japanese woman.
Yamato Nadeshiko is referred to by Japanese as a woman with attributes that were considered traditionally desirable from the perspective of a male dominated society; generally ascribed to people with traditional upbringings. It is an extremely broad, but complicated Japanese aesthetic concept. Virtues include: loyalty, domestic ability, wisdom, and humility.

female, , ahogeConsisting of a single, often large, lock of hair sticking out from the top of the head, it is most often used to identify foolish, bumbling or carefree characters., courierno description set, impulsivePersonality trait characterized by the inclination of an individual to initiate behavior without adequate forethought as to the consequences of their actions, acting on the spur of the moment., large breastsLarge breasts are breasts a fair notch larger than average, as found in some real life adolescent girls or fully grown women. They are bigger than medium breasts and smaller than huge breasts.
Note: This tag has many anime/character entries that need to be moved to the new medium and huge breasts tags. Please add the appropriate tag and remove this one from the corresponding anime/character afterwards., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., tennisTennis is yet another sport involving hitting a ball. Were it not for the copious amounts of grass involved in certain varieties, it seems hard to imagine that people would pay it any attention at all., tomboyA girl who acts and dresses like a boy and enjoys rough, noisy activities traditionally associated with boys., yellow hairThe character has yellow hair. This does not map precisely to real-life blond hair.

Earrings are worn by both sexes, although more common among women, and have been used by different civilizations in different times., moleA mole, also called beauty mark, beauty spot, beauty patch, and sometimes birthmark, is a type of visible, circumscribed, chronic lesion of the skin or mucosa that may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired. Such marks are sometimes considered an attractive feature, hence the beauty-related names, and they are medically known as nevus (plural: nevi), from naevus, Latin for "birthmark". They are not to be confused with the animals commonly called moles., necklaceno description set, short hairShort hair is hair from (but not including) bald, up to (but not including) shoulder-length hair.

The magnitude of overprotection can vary. It can be as low as constantly nagging someone to "stay safe". It can be as extreme as the protector making it their mission in life to protect the other character.
