Well the episode/OVA is out now. It's the standard 23 minute stuff with the usual lighthearted stuff. There's swimsuits and fun. I guess idols do need breaks right?

There's not much singing if any at all but a lot of connecting here. Eh, I thought the girls looked kinda cute in their swimsuits.

I am glad to have seen this "Unaired episode/Episode 13/OVA", whatever you
want to call it. I didn't enjoy it the first time through since I was expecting some
kind of story to happen. I liked it more the second through when I just relaxed
to watch the scenery.

At 04:30/23:45, the big white sign posted right next to the top of the stairs
going down to the park says,

Flames Strictly Forbidden!
Fireworks are forbidden!
Barbeques are forbidden!
Nagarekawa City Parks Department

Just after Yukari and Nanako saw Yui and Mirai playing in the river, at
05:41/23:45, we see a sign attached to the wooden rail which says:

不審者
注意
西深井小学校

Fushin-sha
Chūi
Nishifukai shōgakkō

Which literally means:
Suspicious persons
beware of
Nishifukai Elementary School

So the meaning of the sign is,
"Watch out for suspicious individuals."
And the sign was posted by Nishifukai Elementary School.

... or maybe it actually means ...

"Hey, you suspicious people! Beware of the elementary school!"

I really feel disappointed that there is apparently only one OVA included with the
Blu-ray/DVDs. But let's hope that there will be a second season. At this moment,
the Blu-ray has 2779 Amazon Stalker points and the DVD has 575. That's good.
So it looks like it's possible.

Hopefully this will get subbed soon. Locodol was a pleasant surprise this season.

It was an alright episode. Nagarekawa girls are showing the Awa Awa girls around Nagarekawa town.

Lol @ that volleyball game where the other Nagarekawa girls comments about Nanako.

This was really sweet and enjoyable but I felt like they shoulda just aired it as the 13th episode because it really felt like an epilogue episode of sorts anyway. I get the reason why they chose to include it as a bonus OVA but still..eh. :D

My opinions on any possible Season 2 remain as I said in the Episode 12 thread.

Nanyako's mom left her with Yukari. She is such a great wing-woman. Good job!

Nanyako: "First off the abundant water! And...and...look at the abundant greenery! And look at the abundant water!"
Tsubasa: "You already mentioned that."
Nanyako: "The vast sky!"

LOL! Nanyako, never change.


Awa Awa Girls have nothing on Yukari.
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."

"May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

It was a nice episode, I always wondered how Yukari would react when she visits Nanako in her house for the first time. Now I finally know. =)

I think Nagarekawa Girls are better locodols then Awa Awa Girls. Yes, Awa Awa Girls may be popular idols throughout Japan and have a huge fanbase but the Nagarekawa Girls manage to sell their local merchandise and Ugo merchandise very well. Speaking of the Awa Awa Girls... I wonder what their local mascot is like?

Fingers crossed for a second season.^^/

I liked Yukari's hair braid. And we sure saw almost everyone in this part.
(had to laugh that Nanako's mother gave Yukari her school swimsuit :))

It wasn't bad episode though I understand why this was marked as special OAV.
But it was nice closure to the whole series.

Pretty decent pool/beach like episode, it's good that they made this a special as this wouldn't really fit in the story and a 13th episode inserted into the main series after the ending would've ruined it! All in all it was pretty decent.

Nothing special about this 23 min OVA.

Nagarekawa Girls show Awa Awa Girls what the their town has to offer. I agree with Awa Awa, eating cake first and then lunch doesn't mix well.

Yukari's comment was hilarious, Nana-chan would make a good a wife. Also, yellow Uogokoro-kun in the ending art. Hmm, probably new season. Yukari's hair style in the ending art was very elegant.

It felt so good to hear Sachika voice again. Really good episode, lots of fun seeing everyone together again. They all had cute outfits too. I liked Yukari's hair this episode.

Man I miss this show, second season please!

Episode stretching slightly to the newspaper of LocoDol of Nagarekawa, bland narrative without a purpose other than to show the most important places of the town of Japan.
Funny but not funny to crack up with laughter. Made quite well, with designs from the tract clean and animations average.
I wonder if they will do a second season, I would also be willing to look at a SOL so cute.
