Just watched the RAW version. It was great. I can't wait for the subs to come out.
The new look for the girls is starting to grow on me. It still isn't as good as the original look, but not as bad as I first thought it was.
All three little story lines look good.

Say it isn't so! This can't end. T_T


I think I've fallen in love.

I also like how Chika had a DSi. I'm going to miss Ana and Matsuri with their cute troubles. Their texting was just so adorable. Sometimes I wish I was Nobue; I swear if I had the opportunity, I would become just like her.

Bah, i feel for Nobue for trying to quit, but all things considered.. she's pretty damn lucky. Favorite part was Micchan's impressions and her twisted view of what life will be like a few years down the road.

Good LOLs! Below is one of those scenes.
The other is Miu's imagination of "What if we were in Junior High"
Kids know about Yuri. wow Japan they do but more shocking when question is asked.

I'm a bit confuzzled, did some of these events happen in a previous episode? Cause If not, then... well i'll be damned.

Anyways, It was a good ep, but my sense of having seen it before (?) kinda ruined some parts.

Now for another ova, or even better, a whole series!

Finally I found it subbed!

What a great episode, probably one of the funnest of the series, I can't believe Chiaki actual hit Nobue this time around. And that Miu never ceases to make me laugh. The ending was sad though, hate to see it end already. Man, why couldn't this have been more than 2 episodes?

Man. Ichigo Marshimaro is turning out to be my crack heroin. Watching it always puts me in a state of supreme bliss, even though I still prefer the original character design that's more closer to Barasui's art style.

Miu's delusional future fantasy had me busting a gut. Especially with what happened to Nobue. bark bark! lol.

I could listen to Orikasa Fumiko sing that ending over and over, she's so talented.

I loved Miu imagining Jr High, especially Ana's future as a delinquent. I still kind of like the art style in encore... it's definitely more cutesy, but thats not so bad for this series.

Hopefully there will be more IM anime adaptations.

Quite nice episode again but yea to see it end like this it doesn't feel like it was a good ending... I wonder if there will be any more ova's or another sequel to this that might finish the series or just let it open like this.

Either way had a nice watch with this anime, for the whole episode a nice rating of 6/10

I really, really liked this episode. The girls analyzing their relationships was gold, pure heartwarming gold. It also has a few good jokes (the part where Miu gives Matsuri novelty glasses had me laughing the most), it had all those things that made me fall in love with this anime.

Now I'm sad because there's no more. I don't suppose they'll ever make new episodes, so I can only rewatch it or read the manga. Even when I was finishing Azumanga, I wasn't this sad because I ran out of the episodes. :-(

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

Ah man. Gimme a sequel now. I will wait so.

Chika and Matsuri best till the end. Esp. Chika. But ye the whole cast was interesting. And while Miu was unbearable at times, she's hilarious in true words. You just can't ignore her. Ana grew on me even tho she was kinda eh at first due to the whole "I can't speak japanese 'cause I look english blahblahblah" Nobue made me wth at times, go play with people your age for once but ye the show wouldn't be the same without her.

9/10

Don't understand the -0.03 as compared to previous OVAs, these were the best.

I just watched an episode that's nearly as old as all of these kids.Jeeze.

Anyway, these encore episodes seem stupidly well made, and are very enjoyable
My only complaint is that for a show that almost exclusively portrays 5th and 6th graders, it can get a little too ... loliconic. The more ''''mature'''' jokes from nobue are fine because she's literally in college and smoking her life away (you can quite, nobue!) but it does get weird the jokes are played for more than just innocent absurdity. even just the clothes that they wear are bit too much, sometimes

Masturi and Ana's pairing is personally the most enjoyable because they're deliberately portrayed as innocence incarnate + moe times 100. they play their strengths as completely adorable and innocent elementary school kids and the are rarely portrayed in a way too loliconic, and more something you'd rather hug to death. miu and chika's pairing is undeniably fun too, but are slightly more vulnerable to the anime's weird loliconic vibe

at least if you put miu + chika into middle school or something, you'd have some illusion or resemblance of maturity to justify a bit more of the more slightly sexualized vibes and jokes you'd expect from a lot of anime

counter-example of cgdct that's actually almost too innocent: non non biyori, which stratifies its characters to different age groups that could justify a bit more of what Ichigo tries sometimes (and doesn't, not that it needs to tho)

Well.. Ana's and Matsuri's relationship is close.. And I don't know about Miu's, really.. I mean, she bullies people a lot, and sometimes it's not appropriate.. Like when Nobue lost her job, because of Miu's bullying.. And sometimes it's hurting people.. Like when Miu revealed Ana's family name in front of class..
This anime is strange like this.. Miu sometimes does some really annoying shit, hurting people.. But sometimes things are alright, relaxing, interesting.. But how much shit there is.. I just can't give it higher score in the end.. I just start to feel better about anime.. And it just returns to its' worst at this time.. Yeah, returning to wholesome trip again, but I can't take these relationships as this, when they are not like that..
At the end of the day, anime was weird.. But I more liked it than not.. Just that there was some really not enjoyable spots.. But otherwise, anime was nice.. I liked Ana.. Matsuri was enjoyable as well.. Nobue too.. Chika gained some towards end too..

man it always feels sad completing these more than decade old anime knowing there will never be more to it, I know the manga is still on going but with stories like these you never really get a conclusive ending like I would love to see these girls grow up; well either way I enjoyed this series

Another fantastic and fun episode. Quite liked the friends part seeing all the real connections between each characters. Chi and Miu's connection is funny as hell looool. But Miu wouldn't give an organ for her friend :pensive:

The second half was funny too with that middle school gag. Quite exaggerated, but still what makes this OVA so good.

On that note, this OVA was an actual treat, I didn't think it would be this good but here I am. Easy 9/10.

Really good final episode. I want a new season!

"We are liable to be lesbians!" Lol @ Miu. All that "yuri talk" was amusing.

I loved Miu's future visions.

Ana Coppola black custom was awesome.

Nobue became a dog. x3
