Comments
What could have been a great sequel is ruined by fan service. While the fan service was avoidable in the TV series (you could just skip the Omake Theatre), that's not the case here. I'm disappointed that they decided to do this, as the TV version didn't need to go that far. Also, the hot springs episode is a real downer. Talk about cliched plots!
Music
Not as good as the previous installment. The music is actually forgettable.
Sub vs Dub
I didn't watch the dub, but I saw the credits and they had the same cast as the TV version (except for Valencia, of course). I prefer the subtitled.
Manga
The Blue Seed manga is still untranslated as far as I know. Yuzo Takeda also created 3X3 Eyes, which is carried by Dark Horse.

Violence Details
The level is not very graphic at all. Just a few bloody moments.
Language Details
The language is quite minimal. Just a few curse words.
Nudity Details
When Valencia transforms, she is, of course, naked, but this isn't a "silhouette, Sailor-Moon-esque transformation. Detailed views of her breasts are shown.
Also, in the "hot springs episode" at the end, sometimes some of the girls' towels fall at just the right amount so we can see some cleavage or the girls' bare backs.
Sexual Content Details
In one scene, Momiji is relaxing in a pool. Sakura comes up underneath her and squeezes her breasts.
Religious Material Details
Like the TV version, the OVA is inspired by Japanese folklore. Also, Sakura actually flies in HUGE exocorism sutras to dispatch some Aragamis.
