| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, it was an alright episode as it was mainly retelling. Looking forward to the finale~ |
| I liked this episode more than the first one. We now know all there is to know about the story up to this point so that's cool. I'm also looking forward to the final episode. |

| I'm a bit concerned that they used 33% of the series with a recap... Seemed a bit pointless as most of it was just like it happened in the first series, but okay, I won't complaim, I understand their reasons. I just hope there will be enough time for an appropriate conclusion with just one more ep. |
 |
| Very much recap. I hope the Final got not only Recap or i will be crazy =) Waiting for 26.4 =) |
 |
| Compared to the first episode this one was awesome. It shows the story from Mitsukis point-of-view which is, in my opinion, a good thing. There were some recaps, but also alot of new scenes settled in the original Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. When the last episode will have a decent ending, then this OVA isn't as disappointing as I thought after ep.1 |

I feel bad for her more now :(. The last ep will probably just tie everything together. Takayuki will get a full time job doing something good and then he will propose to Haruka. |

| I like this episode than the first one and i'm hoping that the final episode will be more interesting :D |

| I enjoyed the fact that most of the episode was mostly a recap of some of the holes left behind by KGNE. This being the Haruka route, it was inevitable that skipping the Yoshiyuki/Mitsuki pairing would leave behind some questions as to what really happened. The events themselves were almost identical, but there were some minute changes that affected the overall outcome of the story (just like picking a certain flag in a VN). A major complaint is how the sakuga quality took a major nosedive compared to KGNE. Is this a low budget production? So Mitsuki slept with Shinji in both routes...lucky guy! xD Liking the drama so far...I'm kinda hoping for a bad end here...=P |
| i think the ep was ok. so far im not really too bothered with the story so far. the last one could go either way. i suppose it'll be fun. |
| I quite liked this episode. I found it nice to see Mitsuki's point of view. She always appeared to me as a bad person, but I finally started to understand her feelings. Very entertaining. I didn't mind the recaps. It was quite a while ago that I saw Kiminozo, so I didn't remember all of it. A small complainment, I dislike their hair, it just doesn't seem natural (okay, that's normal with anime hair, but well...) to me and it annoys me. |
| With all the recap, this episode just reminded me why I hated Mitsuki so much during the TV series. |
| They really lightened up the blame on Mitsuki this episode in that recap, telling it from her view and all is cool but they changed a few things in the recap which were the reasons why I never really felt bad for Mitsuki in the actual series. Been so long but it was ok. |
| This ep was ok, mostly recap yes with some extra information. Felt a bit corny at times but i liked it mostly non-the-less. Bring on the last ep~ |

| This episode remined me why this series touched my heart so much, where the first one failed to do that :). Last episode must be very good too make this a good OVA. But I almost know for sure it will. |
| I think this was an ok episode. Initially I never really liked Mitsuki, but seeing this, it somehow let me have more sympathy in her. Still a recap, but the graphic and art was better than before, so worth 30 minutes watching. High hopes on the last episode... |
 心に宿る魂の声が聞こえる... |
| I really enjoyed this episode way better than the first one. It gives you a good feel for how Mitsuki feels and that she did try her best. |
| This was extremely weak. After seeing this, I have no idea what the creators are trying to accomplish by releasing this "new" series. There is no way this can be taken as a stand alone series so why bother spending 80% of the time showing us what we've already seen, but with less attractive art? Where was Haruka's "alternate storyline" development? A three-minute flashback scene and a few mentions by Takayuki? Even if someone who hasn't seen the the original TV series decided to watch, this sure as hell would not entertain them. Such a disappointment... |
    |
| At least Mitsuki finally admitted it was her fault.. I, like many other people, hated her a lot from season 1.. but now Ive sympathized with her, I guess. Its kinda funny, I almost thought they made Mitsuki commit suicide after watching ep 1. but i find it pretty stupid takayuki still chooses haruka, him and mitsuki spent a year+ together in a relationship, and him and haruka have only spent a month together.. bleh. |
 |
| Whoa, I didn't think that Mitsuki was one of the reasons of Haruka's accident. I hated her in a instant. (But still Mitsuki is better than Haruka) |
somebody noticed something at 8:12 ... like: hmm... can someone please translate? would be nice ... |

| This Episode is great! I like it! There are also many emotions! @devilish000: I have seen the Episode with German Subs. As is: "Then there are 2 buildings collapsed .." |

| I feel sorry for Mitsuki. it really annoys me when people bash Mitsuki so much. She certainly isn't perfect but no one should be. she is the more realistic character. Haruka just seems too nice and perfect. I don't like that type of anime girl |
| Hmmm recap episode.... and it got Mitsuki in this.... But I find it weird and so soap opera-ish.... lemme elaborate.... First of all I loved that the script writers decided to give Mitsuki some screen time here in this new OVA.... But wha the hell with the other gal huh? Has she had to be there for the recap... I have nothing against the recap, but I have somethin against the girl.... She was pointless.... maybe a psychologist or even a Mitsuki monologue would have been better than introducing a new character... I gotta say the recap was weird, but as this a retelling of the story taking Haruka's Route then it's usual for the story to change a little.... thou it still has some elements in common... like the obvious accident, the key of everything, the aquarium times and Takayuki's obsession to remain besides Haruka... What I liked is that we saw some new elements here and there that made this a bit more possible for the Haruka Route Then tell me... it's illogical.... ain't it? For Mitsuki visiting HAruka just before she was discharged and having that talk and everything and as a one of the first scenes with Haruka outside the hospital seeing her on the rooftop of the hospital... that's plain stupid... TO me it was like Haruka had an hallucination of Mitsuki standing on the rooftop, rather than a troubling moment for Mitsuki... Lame imo... that pretty much explains my POV of why I consider this episode over dramatic... In fact i really think they reused the drama of the past season and tried to make it more dramatic this time... which they failed miserably but anyway made us remember KGNE amazingness XD Well I guess love provokes this kind of things... And it's true, Mitsuki is the more realistic of the bunch... Takayuki is stupid and obsessive, Shiji is emotionless and Haruka is too perfect... and suddenly becomes an inconsistent character... meh Signs, Green |

| Some were recaps but was still well done. and OMG I'M IN LOVE WITH THE ANIMATION. IT'S JUST SO SEXY. <3 |
| This was extremely contradicting. Takayuki was in MUCH deeper depression during that time. He looked much worse during the aquarium visit than he did in this recap as well. Even the scene where they broke up was completely different. Oh well... =/ |

| Mmm, ED sounds great. Also the art in this is great, they should of used this in the actual series.. The colouring of the hair is actually what first attracted me to this series. |
| I dont like that they kind of redid Takayuki's face and that this was a giant recap episode. |
| i liked it a lot cause because of Mitsukis's point view my thoughts about her changed a little at first i understand most of her thoughts but now some other things got clear now i respect her even better |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| This episode was actually quite decent actually better than the telling of the main story, the slight differences of what happened and their relations sure made it way better than the original telling! Now Mitsuki looks slightly less bad than originally, the brakeup as well was way better in this case! Great second episode with a nice recap of what happened and with even better changes in them! |
 |
| All I can say is, why isn't this side arc the main story line? I actually cried in this episode WTF. I didn't shed a tear for the main arc. I like it when the character are smart and understanding. This episode proves that they are. Mitzuki understood everything but she didn't want to leave him. As well as Takayuki knew everything too, that scene when he is in the rooftop was perfect for the main arc. I hated the main arc because the characters made so many horrible decisions, cannot explain themselves, lie to themselves, never spent the time all 5 of them to talk (includes Shinji and Akane). What a great episode this review is way more positive than the one I gave for the main arc. Once again, WHY ISN'T THIS THE MAIN ARC T_T. |
| episode recap. hope episode 3 is a good one. |

| Flashback on Mitsuki perspective :D I cannot really blame her :( |
 |
| somewhat entertaining seeing it from Mitsuki's POV |
The swim club girl said: The one at fault was the person who caused the accident. My God, only an external character could see the obvious? I,can see why they did a summary: they changed a few details. I disliked Takayuki's breakdown and the way Mitsuki fixed him. Also, I always thought that the first TV episodes covered more than a single month... On the other hand, the roof scene of Takayuki was a nice add. The drawings were often somewhat bizarre, independently from the new chara-design (who doesn't go well with most of the characters 2.5/5 It could have been shorter. |

| Least Mitsuki proved she was trying to gain for her own agenda by taking Takayuki and being the replacement "Haruka". Usually I skip recaps but this one was done well. |
 |
| What is this, a glorified recap episode? All the sappy music and tears in the world aren't going to make Mitsuki a sympathetic character at this point anyway. |
