This has been scored pretty low. but I think it was a perfect episode to show Teko's growth and her friend's acceptance of her finding a new place to call 'home'... REALLY REALLY HOPE there will be a second season!!!!

I don't like Amanchu and this special didn't change my opinion, it's not even that is bad, it's just... boring, I can't feel engaged in anything going on.

4/10 from my part, I wonder if there will be a sequel in the future.

I was waiting forever for this to get subbed and put me in the same mood as I did while watching the main series. It's shows like Amanchu and Aria that make me love the SoL genre. Was a good episode and I like how Akane and Chizuru share the same seiyuus as Akari and Aika from Aria. Now I wanna rewatch the entirety of Aria and Amanchu again >.< Amanchu needs a 2nd season too... come on J.C. Staff, you've been on a downhill slope as of late and Amanchu was so good.

It was nice seeing Teko and Pikari again.

I think Teko's friend was jealous/bewildered by the fact that these two have a special relationship (they're hella yuri for each other, even if they don't fully realize it yet). It was nice that she warmed up to her in the end though.

Ugh, did they really have to throw in Ai abusing her brother for the last twenty seconds? I was very happy not to see that bitch for most of the OVA.

Re-watched the raw 5 times last night but damn they're lazy on this episode & the changed my favorite scene from manga (-typed a lot but decided to skip-) Bias score for the eargasms part nonetheless.

I can't say I was in love with Amanchu when I first watched it, the fact that the sole male character was basically a whipping boy for his sister was one of the reasons. Thankfully, we saw almost none of that. This was very beautifully done.

Ah, the parallels! It was great seeing Chizuru going through similar emotions as Teko did at the start of the season, and how Pikari saved them both.

Agreed, this needs a second season.

been wanting more Amanchu! ever since the anime ended and was surprised when i saw this come up

i loved the fact the continued right where it left off and finally we get to see Teko's friends and see how they interact with pikari and it was cute as i figured atleast one of her friends would feel that way but in the end everything ended well

an amazing ep but now i just wish a season 2 would happen!!

again missing this series need to check up on the manga

As ARIA is one of my favourite shows., hearing Akari and Aika clones is sufficient to make me start tearing up.

Really hope there will be a sequel to this.

So nice to have this show, even for just one episode.

That Aria vibe ... so amazing.

I don't know if i should have hopes for a second season but either way this was and IS one of my favorite series of all time.

Another beautiful OVA episode!
Teko's 2 friens Chizuru & Akane enjoyed a lot of diving!
but there was a lot of jelly moments between Pikari Chizuru...but it was settled nicely.
4/5.

also nice to see the 2 friends Aika and Akari Akane and Shizuru
they have the same VA, the same personality, the same kinshi jokes, and even look kinda similar, might as well use the real ones =D

Just as beautiful as I remember, this show is pure bliss. I'm always smiling while watching this.

It was nice to see Teko's friends, they were nice people.

The diving scenes were fantastic as always.
The farewell at the end had me tearing up, the pure and sincere emotions of this show together with the calm and relaxing atmosphere always get me.

I really wish we'll get a 2nd season.

I guess the Pikari charm worked on both of them. That Chizuru fell too to her charm after knowing she had no impact in Teko's life and became jealous because of that.

I know the series is a rip off Aria but I loved it equally and both give the a score above 8. I will watch the next season and I know I will enjoy it as much. so for this one 8/10.

Really wonderful OVA and additional episode to the first season I must say, I really still love that they've used two of the main voice actors of Aria for those two characters and they totally mimicked all their treats perfectly.

It sure was a wonderful experience again to see an additional episode of this series and I'll be looking forwards to the second season!

For the one who come with the idea to put Aika and Akari voices, I want that person to know I love him 10/10 of course <3
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

Pikari is such a sweetheart. I absolutely love her ♥

Lovely Special overall. It's true that Chizuru was a bit annoying with this jealousy thing against Pikari but at least, I'm glad she understood in the end how valuable Pikari's presence was for Teko's growth.

7/10

P.S.: Uh... was it really necessary to show Ai abusing her brother for merely 20 seconds?

Starting to realize that i didn't like this anime that much, it feel lame on how everything came to good because of pikari, Usually I'm not hate this kind of plot but for this anime it's feel kinda weird, like it to forcefully done in my opinion
