Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete: Ushinawareta Natsuyasumi wo Motomete

Upon regaining her senses, Yui Furukawa discovers that the current day is July 13—a starting point that she has never experienced prior. However, despite the unfamiliar circumstances, she resolves to spend her summer vacation with the other members of the Astronomy Club at Nagisa Hanamiya's family villa. The house and its surrounding area have a rich history; a renowned scientist, Nagisa's great-grandmother researched and developed technology at the nearby military manufacturing plant.

While the Astronomy Club is having fun at the beach, a sudden storm stops their plans short. Left with no other choice, the group takes shelter at the abandoned factory, eventually leading them to explore a hidden underground bunker. What they encounter there may reveal an unprecedented connection to a lost future.

Mixed Feelings

I don't typically write reviews, but since this OVA currently lacks any here I go. Also, unlike typical reviews that mention superfluous things like the art, music, etc. this will not, since nothing has particularly changed from the previous episodes.

Firstly as OVAs so tend to be, this is largely about the fan-service. Secondly, minor spoiler that's revealed in the first minute, this takes place during summer vacation, which suggests that this timeline Yui was transported to predates the events of the bus accident by several months. However, for Yui's own timeline, it can be concluded that it takes place around the time that the Uchihama ... Syndrome became first established. As with OVAs that feature summer vacations, there has to be a spooky portion, which undoubtedly will feature ghosts as this anime has in the past.

Now, I wasn't fond of this anime, so my opinion of it provides a slight bias, but at its core, this ova at least answers a question of what-if. What if Yui was sent to the wrong point in time and what would come of that?

So was it enjoyable? I guess, but like the rest of the anime it wasn't all too interesting. However, the spooky portion was a nice change from your typical beach fan-service OVA.
