According to the official website, the seventh BD/DVD volume of Kyoukai no Kanata will be released on July 2, 2014 and will include Episode 0, titled "Shinonome." Episode 0 happens two years prior to the TV series when the Nase siblings meet Akito for the first time in a mission for Hiroomi. Mitsuki follows her brother on this mission, and their goal is to subjugate Akito.

Other than Episode 0, two more episodes of Kyoukai no Kanata: Idol Saiban! Mayoi Nagara mo Kimi wo Sabaku Tami will also be included, making it five episodes total.

Now that you mention it, we never got to know how Akito and the siblings actually met. There were hints here and there, but as far as I can tell, we weren't *shown* their meeting. So yeah, I'll gladly watch this one.

I was hoping it would explain something, but this is also fine.
Looking for a character or a certain Anime/Manga?
Looking for recommendations?

For a second I thought they announced a second season.

Pretty much my reason to watching this as well. Hopefully, it will be done well to show that.

I hope this explains Hiroomi's scar on his back. That was one of the only things I wanted to see more screen time about besides that obviously it was caused by Akihito.

Glad it's a prequel rather than a sequel but either way, KyoAni stuff is just nice to look at..

Can't wait for this, Kyoukai no Kanata was so good even though it was somewhat cliché.

I look forward to more idol eps. I found those hilarious and sadly more entertaining than the main series.

This and episode 6 in the actual series should have been switched.

It's kind of annoying how an actual part of the story- an integral part in the main characters lives offering insight and explanation into how they act around each other and how they know each other, is pushed to "extras". And useless fanservice was plopped smack dab in the middle of the series.

Yeah I agree with this fully. I have no idea why they decided to put that OVA-esque episode in the middle of the series. It just interrupted the flow and everything. They should have used that episode for something else, maybe backstory, like this.

Yet that episode was quite well received in Japan I believe.

More than any other episode. I didn't watch it btw. I dropped the anime before that, just thought I'd mention this.

Hopefully since this is a prequel a certain unpleasant character won't be there.
