You know this is garbage when the final Evangelion Movie with a runtime of 2hrs have less than 5 minutes of recap for THREE PREVIOUS FILMS; whereas this garbage has half of its runtime is the recap. They should be ashame of themselves to put this out and calling it an hour-long special sequel allthewhile teasing a mere "possible" sequel without any comfirmation and creating more questions while answering nothing at all just like the extra pages of AOT manga.

Thats kinda rude my guy. There must have been a valid reason. Try not to be so negative. You can express your distaste in a calm manner

I mean the director got hospitalized multiple times during production of the anime due to overwork, so it’s kind of understandable why this speciwl episode turned out this way.

Just an anime my guy, don’t need to think bad of people.
The right mindset when watching an anime is hoping that it will break your top 10

LOL chill bro. I didn't enjoy the show or the special that much but I won't hate on them for that. I still think the show still has some special qualities about it, nothing shameful. I've seen worse.

25mins of recap, 22mins of disappointment.

While I agree the double recap of this series was a little much, the story was still interesting. It touched on subjects not usually mentioned (as far as I have seen). I haven't seen an anime touch on the subject of transgender before. Also the premise of making friends with another person who lost her friend to suicide. I think it was in the bowling scene where it was translated as "Is that your friend who committed suicide?" and they were bonding over that! What the heck! Idk it just blew my mind

I think they may have started with a good story, but as they went along they kept adding stuff that eventually they just did not have time to explain. Like they could have ended it was a boss battle with Frill and her companions; as a result, there would be fewer suicides among girls.

Overall, still disappointed with this OVA.

You should be ashamed of your writing skills.

You should calm down and no need to be aggressive. Try going out a little to get a fresh breath of air.

It was pretty bad. But I’d still recommend the show based on the art and voice acting. It’s just the ending that was an absolute trash fire.

People are weirdly defensive of this ending for some reason though.

Uh there's a fair amount of transgender anime and manga characters that aren't vicitimized so brutally like the one off character in this. (And I'm not referring to cross dressers)

Oh for sure there are. But like I said, I personally have not watched too many anime that discuss it. The only one that comes to mind is Hourou Musuko. Maybe Steins Gate, but it's been a few years since I've seen it so I don't recall how much it was discussed there.

Of you're interested in two more check out lovely complex for a trans girl and The Day of Revolution for a story about transitioning ( it's a little more complicated then the character being trans)

I guess it's time to rewatch LovCom. I remember really enjoying it, but can't recall a trans character atm. I'll add Day of Revolution to the list! Thanks

Majority of it was due to the terrible scheduling the staff had. Production was an absolute train- wreck for WEP especially in the second half of the season, and that seems to have affected the story. The recap was more than likely because of production issues. Its possible a sequel was anticipated though, maybe a sequel movie, but because of the state of its production this is what we were forced to get.

to be fair the schedule was decent but what made it tighter was the staff's ambitious to do more like character acting and such which wasn't a wise choice.

You know they could have cut the AI/Frill stuff out altogether and have them all bring their friends back and then having to deal with the consequences afterwards. Hindsight is 20/20 though.

Plot whould be ruined(for now they opened "fence" for next season [doesn't matter it's skyscraper's wall sized] if any) that way.
