Goodness gracious, is this REALLY set in the same universe as the bright, goofy, super-deformed and zany universe of the first series?
The whole episode felt like a cheerful friend you knew five years ago coming back to you quite-sad-and-traumatized by a warzone, and THEN have depressants forcefully pumped into his veins until all mirth and laugther is forced out of him. The utter lack of joy in this sequel is akin to the 1960's Batman jumping to the Dark and Serious The 1989 Batman!! Gonna need LOTS of sugar to get through this; The universe has INDEED become a sadder and duller place without Mizuho-chan!!

I heard that some OVA is like trial and error, if they are liked an official season can be made base on the reception. Though like you said, too much stuff is in the game and the anime is mediocre since they can't cover all of it.

It's not a matter of covering it all or not (i have yet to see any VN or eroge adaptation that covers everything) but how it uses it's time. With such a limited amount of episodes, i think that many things were pretty redundant or too drawn out. Also i am not sure if 1 disc contains just 1 episode, because it was released just 2 days ago. It's possible that it might contain 2 episodes, but it won't change my mind that the production values are mediocre. edit: one disc must contain 2 episodes, seeing that this anime has 3 volumes and it can't possible end with the next episode. |

Can they cover the whole story with just 30 thirty minutes OVA? I'm already detecting alot of pacing problems in this episode, even if underneath it, I'm sure there's a very good story that's simply being rushed through.
And yes, I agree. After marathoning the first series, this feels like Otome wa Boku on super-depressants. Everything, even the school just has that touch of grey melancholy, in contrast to the cheerily lit and more carefree place of the first series. Perhaps, it's partly because the MC is a very elegant woman who would be a very dour if gentle boy if not crossdressing. By no means dull, but "feminine" serenity and gentleness comes of as "masculine " reservedness and stoicness. Spoiler for More detailed comparisons to the First Anime/VN MC:
Still, I can't seem to detect traces of that supposedly severely bullied boy under that beautiful facade. He simply comes across as a quiet boy who would, if dressed as a girl, be seen as a seemingly serene and elegantly reserved girl. Double Standards for Genders anyone? |

Episode 3 probably won't be released for another month.
I believe the RAW for the first episode came out July 30th, 2nd episode came out August 26th, so the third one should be in about 3 weeks. Then subtitles usually come out between a day and a week later.
