Hmmm what could we wait for the Haruka Route... cheesy-ness.... That's obvious...And i'm not surprised the thing ended like this.... I'm not really dissapointed of the OVA, but I'm really dissapoited of this last epi... Tell.. Haven't you seen? What's the point of repeating a scene in one episode? And even two times... They did it two times!!! No shit that show us that the director was not thinking clearly when doing his work... The original KGNE had realistic traits... while this OVA has cheesy and lame melodramatic trait like the ones of Mexican Soap Operas... SOAP OPERAS!!! Not that I dislike them, but man this is anime, if you wanna play a while with drama then make an anime with realistic drama,,,, not melodramatic neko ume! xD

Loved the talks HAruka had with her mom and Akane with sensei... my gosh sensei's car is amazing dudes... I want one of those XD.. SO... Really The ending was so cliche that I was tempted to put a horrible score for this, but in the end it has its reasons to be like that.... It finally gets a 7/10 peps... No more to say...

Green

P.S.: Oh a complaint I've had along all the OVA... Why the heck they changed Takayuki's room design?!!! It was okay as it was? Or did he change of room? They never told us that... Oh welll... Bye Bye nice room

Pretty much my thoughts, this was the ending i wanted =) Slightly disappointed with the focus of the OVA at points, but it was good.

The only things I liked about this series was
-Animation (OMG, IT WAS SO SEXY! <3)
-Akane (Oyes, finally, more screen time.)
-Haruka (Omg, u so hot <3)
-Music (Yes, awesome indeed.)

Didn't like the story that much, but it was still quite good.
No Mitsuki Hayase though, which made me sad. :(

Once again, why is this scored even close to a 7? Are people too ignorant to see the key items that were emphasized in these incredible OVAs?

Anyway, aside from the ranting, I would like to talk about the word, goals. It's such an ambiguous, yet dangerous, word. To achieve goals, dreams, a destination, many will have to sacrifice what holds dear to them. But, to have a complementary goal with the person you love, that truly is beautiful.

It was an ok OVA series, but nothing special. There were some things which were quite contradicting with the way things happened in the original series but oh well. >.<

After having 3 years of her life stolen from her, I think Haruka got the ending she deserved. Watching the original series broke my balls the whole way through; it kinda (OBVIOUSLY) was Mitsuki's fault that Haruka's accident happened in the first place, tryin to steal all of Takayuki's time and attention when she KNEW he was running late for his date. Even during the festival when he should've been meeting with Haruka, she was leeching his time away, seemingly trying to SABOTAGE their relationship. Then when Haruka gets hospitalized, she shows her true colors. WHAT KIND OF WHORE STRIPS NAKED AND SEDUCES HER BEST FRIEND'S BOYFRIEND KNOWING THAT HE'S SUFFERING FROM EMOTIONAL DISTRESS WHILE HARUKA WAS PRETTY MUCH DEAD?! (that scene was just too disturbing) I'm glad Mitsuki left town to leech off someone else, Haruka and Takayuki were WAY MORE meant to be together than that tramp Mitsuki. Takayauki's relationship with Haruka was based off true love, whereas his "relationship" with Mitsuki seemed like it was just a "friends with benefits " kind of thing (SHE WAS ONLY IN IT FOR THE SEX).
~Just wish the OVA had a stronger impact, but I completely take it over the first series ending.

lol that's a way to look at it but don't ya think there was more behind all of this then being a slut and stealing a boyfriend if you watched it good you should understand her thoughts and doings. anyway i don't want to start a fight so don't get me wrong on this

Quite a nice ending of this OVA! Imo you couldn't really call this a sequel as this is more as another setting what happened to Haruka after she got out of the hospital and that Takayuki chose for her! The story and buildup towards this last episode was pretty decent and I quite liked the small little different within the story and character relations!

A good 4 episode ova!

Just finished this episode, it was way too awesome. I cried at this episode, glad that all sorted it out, I like Haruka more than Mitsuki. Thinking Mistuki is just a pathetic that taking advantage while Haruka was in coma.

I am also confused why are these episodes aren't on the main story line, so that it could be ended better, but well I glad it was sorted it out. Happy ending. ^_^

10/10.

Hmm, this was a meh as i expected it to be, guess I'm still team Mitsuki.
The only thing this OVA did was bump Akane up as runner up in the Mrs. Takayuki Pageant.
She says she loves him as a brother, but I'm sure we all know what she really means ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

Akane is still the star in a good part of this one. What is the point of making a new end for one of the heroines when you give all the screen time to secondary characters?
The sacrifice theme was interesting. Of course, it was already fairly visible in the TV series but why not spelling it out clearly... But I hardly believe it when it became clear that Haruka herself would give up her dream: nothing about her wanting to make picture books ! In other words, she gets the man and lost her potential career we see in the first version? What is good here? o_O
The ending seemed a bit exagerrated, especially the cheering mass.

2/5


This alternative (and worst?) conclusion for the heroine was way too much centered on a character. Each OAV focused almost on a single one, with Akane essentially getting the spotlights. There were also a lot of flashback/recap for a short DVD series.
The disjointed charadesign and the relatively worst overall quality (those are 2007+ OAVs while the series is only a 2003 TV product). Music and songs were blander, seemingly inferior to the TV ones.
It will disappoint most watchers of KimiNozo, except those people whose only goal is to worship a pairing or another (even fantasized ones)

5/10 taking into account the very specific target audience of this "bonus".

This was an unnecessary, cliched afterthought. Loved Season 1, it was mature and sad in a realistic manner. Thought Takayuki should have ended up alone, not that I dislike him, just that Mitsuki should've stuck to her guns and had the same strength of character as Haruka. Could see everyones point of view actually but this Ova/Season 2 just felt forced and obsolete in every way. Atleast the people who wanted a Haruka ending seem happy. Though what was the point of them breaking up just because she felt scared and he thought it was because he needed to work more? Like they couldn't stay together if he took more hours?

This OVA ruined the perfect ending which is Mitsuki's route.The problem with people who watched the tv series (Mitsuki's route) and despised the ending,was probably,lack of empathy and understanding of the character's dilemma,that's why they call Mitsuki a slut/whore or animal in heat.It is clearly portrayed that Takayuki kas feelings for Mitsuki since episode 1 of the tv series,yet fans still argue that the MC loves Haruka.We can easily distinguish love from guilt and responsibility which is again,portrayed by takayuki's character.

Mitsuki gave up everything in life,just to support takayuki in his worst time.She was a remarkable athlete,a prodigy even,but she chose to quit and be with the man she loves and helped him get back up.Her efforts were not appreciated most of the time but she still cared for him,even rushing to his aid when he was ill.She suffered a lot on that note.Now,if you hated her because she had sex with shinji,it's a given.I'm not saying that it is right to cheat but given the circumstances,that was the time she portrayed humanlike trait, in real life, a lot of shit happens.

Just imagine how hard Mitsuki's life would be without the only thing that's keeping her alive.Her reason d'etre (Takayuki).This route just killed Mitsuki off for good.She lost everything that she deserves to have.It was much better if she just continued pursuing her career as a professional swimmer rather than having this kind of life.How depressing! :(

Personally I really liked this ending.
I shipped these two from the start, even before this OVA.
They make the cutest couple in my opnion.

Finally, they learned that it's okay to be upset with each other and get mad from time to time, that it's impossible to be with someone without having quarrels. But they will figure it out together in the end and to pick each other up when one falls down.

Cute OVA, definitely prefer this over the real version of the series anime adaption.

Sweet episode to end the OVA series. A pity, though, that the synopsis was a little off since I was looking forward to more closure on Mitsuki.

Haruka and her mother's conversation was easily the best take-away from this OVA series, and honestly that was fantastic!

Certainly didn't expect so much screen-time for Akane-chan though. A little overdone in that aspect, if I'm to be frankly honest, but to good cause I suppose.

Starting over from that very place, huh? That's well thought out from Haruka.

Final scene in the beach was really nice too!

All in all, I feel like this OVA could do with 3 episodes and not dragged out too much in that way. Maybe, that's just me though.

6/10

Seeing how sad I was seeing Haruka get lonely at Mitsuki's route, it was good to see how Haruka is happy at this one. Kind of weak compare to Mitsuki's route, but overall I was happy on how it turned out.
