Yama no Susume: Omoide Present

On the final day of summer vacation, Kokona Aoba is ready to spend some long-awaited time with her mother, but these plans are unfortunately canceled due to work. Opting to go outside instead, she takes a stroll down a familiar path—one where fond memories appear at every corner.

Later, in the middle of autumn, Hinata Kuraue and Aoi Yukimura are looking through a scrapbook of their childhood. Snooping around in Aoi's room, Hinata finds that she has kept a strange acorn as a keepsake, but doesn't remember the reason why. As its discovery dwells on her, a wave of old memories comes forth, causing her to reminisce about a forgotten event from her childhood.

From time spent with loved ones to promises from the past, Yama no Susume: Omoide Present follows the three girls as they cherish old memories while crafting entirely new ones to remember.

For an anime that's usually about climbing mountains, making memories, overcoming struggles and accomplishing a dream, Omoide Present is a meandering stroll without a destination, the sounds of the park, a lost child, a broken promise, self-reflection, a desperate late-night room search, old photo albums and old memories. But of course, we go full circle, and in the end find, a promise kept, a child found, new promises, and the chance to make new memories. The cycle of overcoming and accepting the past and looking towards a bright future.

It's sentimental and beautiful. And you couldn't ask for anything more from an OVA setting us ... up for the third season. Thematically, it's perfect for this purpose.
