An ending for an anime that was not anything special and honestly quite forgetable. Sadly I have to note that despite the animation being consistent after so much time has passed the art is still quite dull and underdetailed with an overal rough feel for the whole thing. 

The story for these final two episodes are not only as cliché feeling as the first two episodes they are also rushed and probably in terms of scene to scene writing probably the worst the anime has gotten. It feels like a painfully hastily written conclusion to a story that honestly had all the time to set up things better. 

The characters are dead basic with the introduction of the last important characters backstory just feeling tagged on, The entire two episodes worth of content is entirely unsurprising and the quite ugly art simply just makes at an unworthwhile experience overall. 

So if you watched the first series and don't feel too compelled to complete it honestly from my point of view you can skip these seperate last episodes easily and forget it ever existed.

This "specials" is a 2 episode continuation of the 2018 release of Märchen Mädchen following the same story and characters as its predecesor. Although made in a different time, the animation quality and the story quality has been consistent between the two parts.

The specials continues right after the original release as a sequel of sorts, bringing an end to an everlastinly  mid story. The two episodes complete the first 10 making a 12 episode series fit to watch as a "season" although not officially a season. 

This 2019 release ends the main story through the two episodes acting as somewhat of a finale of the 2018 release. These two episodes fit nicely as a pair, and, of course, consistently as bad as the first release. Although even though it is as mediocre-bad as the 2018 release, the ending is very solid and has somewhat of a substance to it.

This continuation works as a plot hole filler answering some questions that were hidden in the first series. The two episodes fit nicely with each other with an ending that doesn't leave a single hint of a sequel coming at all.

TLDR 

Only 2 episodes, anime still sucks, solid ending, no cliffhangers

Also no nudity
