This second episode of the OVA new serial is about Yuuko's cold and the New Year celebration.

I can say for sure that it was a extreme pleasure to meet Yuuko's sister. She looks more mature than Yuuko despite looking just like her. It was nice to see the gang with Yuuko and being super worried about her. Tooru's feeding of Yuuko was very MOE. Moreover food comedy when they tried to undress Yuuko. A little MOE it was to see Nagi frustrating over not being able to make good apple bunnies.

Nice reference to Galaxy Express 999 Train. I got a ROFL at how Tooru was shown in that part and Yuuko's reactions on average.

Had to ROFL hard at Tooru/Run kotetsu nightmares due to being too much in the heat. Still nice to see Run's mother around.

The New Year celebration was excellent in its scenery depiction but it was more so due to the flashbacks they used for it. Moreover after the ED everyone sleeping was nice but I have the feeling that unlike Run/Tooru, Nagi/Yuuko looked like they were sleeping naked. Could be me but that's how it showed. Well it was strange but MOE way of ending this second OVA.

I believe that most of the existing manga material has been used for the first season, so they'd either have to make up original stories, or wait for the another manga volume or two to be finished first.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that there's no limit as to how often I can get enjoyment out of Yuuko being abused :D Kansai-ben Minako Kotobuki ♥
Apparently her little sister is voiced by Yuka Iguchi.

it was nice to see them all taking care of Yuuko since she seems really insecure.
She does seem to have a nice sister tho and they get along del from the looks of it.

I hope there will be a second season of this since it was pretty good.

Nice introduction of Yuuko sister. Kei-chan need more screen time. A full dedicated episode with Yuuko would be nice. I just love kansai dialect.

Second season please.

I had to do a speedsub edit of this, despite not really being a big fan of the series. However, I'm a huge Matsumoto Leiji fan and partly due to that an L-E fansubber, so that train came in as a big bonus ;D

(And Kansai-ben is awesome! Hiroshima-ben as well, see Tamayura...)

This^ ♥~ I really love that accent x3
I like Tooru (Yuuki Aoi) voice as well, it's a lot better than her role as Madoka and as Hibiki xD

I wouldn't mind a second season *^*

I enjoyed more with this episode 2.

Tooru was so cute in some scenes :) Like she always was, as I remembered.
It was shame that there wasn't more of these OVA episodes, but I hope there will coming season 2 out :)

Run answering phone and pretending to be Yuuko got me laughing so much. Good thing that it wasn't someone from relatives. ;D And it was nice to see Yuuko's sister. That's certainly a bonus. ^^
Oh and I really loved Run when she was too busy waving to get off the train. That's Run I know and love. xD

Yuuko's sister Keiko is so sweet. Well, somewhat. She's kinda tsundere towards her sister. :P

Sweet of them to try and nurse her back to health when she has that LIFETHREADNING cold. I still love Yuuko and her sister's Kansai accent too.

Run threw in her whole wallet at the shrine. xD

Both of those gags were hilarious, and Nagi's reactions make them even funnier. You can see Nagi's patience running out.

Aw what a nice wish they had there. Nice and, cliche. But i like it! No matter happen, Run never changed lol! So Yuuko had Imouto, eh? Nice to see her care alot for his sister.

For the whole thought, this OVA not bad at all. Although the new year eve feel late for the actual main plot comparing last season 1 episodes, i dont have much problem for the decision. But, for the incoming, i hope they did more chronological to the day they actually do. Okay, thats just a let-go hope, no meaning it that much.

Then, 8 points clearly the right way to end my thoughts. Just take my two cents and lemme watch another clumsiness of Run in the next!

It's been quite some time since I saw the main series, but this immediately clicked. Really heartwarming extras that remind me of how fun & fond A-Channel has been.

Run was so smart again:
- She forgot to get off the train because she was too focused on waving.
- She threw her whole wallet at the shrine.

Yuuko's tsundere little sister, Keiko was so adorable. It's sad that she didn't get so much of screen time. Her visit was limited only to this episode. :(

Overall, these were very good OVA episodes.

Kei is so adorable. It's sad that she didn't get more screen time in this show. She's a really good character with her hilarious tsundere personality.

It was cute how the girls took care of Yuko after she caught a cold.

Run was too busy waving to get off the train. xD And then she throw her whole wallet at the shrine, lol. She's such an airhead.

Aww, I'm sure you will. Nothing can separate the four of you.
