Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko: Mayonaka no Taiyou

This special is an epilogue to the main series that doesn't add much to the plot. It shows the festival event after Makoto wins the game, and the only remarkable scene is the one with Yashiro, which was excellent and gives a different perspective to the character, much needed considering she was an annoying and unnecessary character in the main series. It keeps the high production value of the main series, producing beautiful visuals and outstanding scenes, which is pretty much what carries the special and makes it worth watching, especially a stunning scene of Makoto and Erio. Regarding the sound, everything is exactly the ... same as in the previous episodes, even the opening and ending, suggesting that the studio wasn't even trying to add something different and fresh to this episode. The characters are all the same and their interaction doesn't progress in any way. Still, Makoto's monologue was a nice way to wrap up the series at the end, bringing up a new outlook on the denpa events that happened during the series and a satisfying conclusion.

Damn, the anime ended with a blast. To me this anime feels perfectly made from the beginning till the end and it is successfully capture my interest in the series that will lead me to read the LN.
By success I mean as in the Anime adaptation advertisement department, where anime only have like 12-13 episodes with no further second season and the whole main purpose for the anime adaptation is for the marketing on the original source. It makes my interest peak so high that I wanted to know more what is going on and will reach out on the original source (LN) for more. ...

I feel the chills when Yashiro starts to shout toward Makoto and lecture him at the temple and then boom! the meteorite fell and almost kill Makoto. Of course Yashiro herself already hinted him some esper power during the pool scene but not like this, so flashy and forceful, it literally destroys my image on the anime. I thought the anime will end with the flow it have starting from the beginning but nope, it ended so good that I wanted more on this series.

Ok, so the special episode of "Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko" has been shown, so how do I rate it? Hummmmmmmmm, let's see:

Story: fair 6.

I could have given it a 7 since this special still maintains most of it's parent anime's genre. However, there is a rather small mystery and psychological element added into this special pertaining to Hoshimiya Yashiro and to what happened to Niwa Makoto, which is why such rating should be enough for this anime.

Art and sound: mediocre 5.

No explinations needed, it's very obvious.

... Character: fair 6.

As you all know the cast of this special are still the same ones from its parent anime. Were it is all about Niwa Makoto in the land of the weirdos, the only consulation here, is that it is confirm that Hoshimiya Yashiro is indeed an esper.

Enjoyment: good 7.

The enjoyable part of this anime pertain to Niwa Makoto and his date with a hard hat wearing wierdo named Mifune Ryuuko, for a while there is a bit of a romance element in it, until the muchacho (Niwa Makoto) ended it a bit early much to Ryuuko's dismay co'z he (Niwa) has an appointment with Erio, to where it shifts into a cousin thing between Erio and Niwa, until the esper Hoshimiya arrives a sort of spoils the fun which added a certain climax where Niwa got hurt.

Overall: fair 6.

I could have given it a 7. but, the thing about this special is that it should have been aired as one of its parent anime's episode, instead of an OVA.
