*SPOILERS WARNING*
I skipped the recap part because I had the show fresh in my memmory. I would say that this special feels rather empty. They tried to be very experimental with the parallel worlds stuff but it did not work at all. There are a couple of good individual moments inside of the episode and I actually sort of liked Neiru´s twist and the short confrontation she had with Frill. On the other hand, there are several major problems with this special: the fact that the people the girls were trying to save have returned, but are from other worlds (and don't remember them because
...
of that) makes me feel like the journey that they made was worth nothing; the great chemistry that the 4 main girls had during the original 12 episodes was not there at all; and, there were a lot of parts that either seemed like they did not belong to the episode or just felt unnecessary. The final big problem that I had with the special is that it did not feel like an ending because it was not intended to be one. I was expecting a proper conclusion to the series and not only the special was not a finale at all, but it also created even more questions than before and it teased a second season. If this "new season" tackles the new uncertainties in a fresh way, also recovering the essence of the original anime, the score from this special could go up.
