Two bonus episodes that take place during the course of the series, approximately halfway through it seems. They are entitled 'Everything you always wanted to know about Nereids (but were afraid to ask)' and 'Heaven can wait for Maia Mizuki'. These stories are more lighthearted and comedic in tone, bordering on silly.

Where it came from
Daphne in the Brilliant Blue, or Hikari to Mizu no Daphne, began as a television anime series produced by J.C.Staff in 2004. Set in a future where the Earth is almost entirely submerged, the story follows Maia Mizuki, a young woman who joins a specialized agency called Ocean Agency. The OVA acts as an extension of the original 24-episode series, maintaining the show's signature blend of science fiction, environmental themes, and character-driven episodic adventures.
The character designs for the project were led by artist Takashi Watanabe, who aimed to emphasize a vibrant, lighthearted aesthetic that contrasted with the post-apocalyptic setting. The animation style reflects the mid-2000s transition period for J.C.Staff, utilizing a mix of traditional cel-style digital painting to bring the sprawling, water-bound metropolis to life. The series was generally received as a lighthearted, visually bright exploration of a submerged world, leaning heavily into its 'magical girl' and 'girl-buddy' dynamics rather than gritty realism.
