I will say that it was a good conclusion to the series. Short, not much to say. There is really no surprises in the characters developments.

Was short but a nice follow up letting us know what all of the girls are up to, this seems to indicate that there won't be a season 2, at least in my eyes

I didn't see how long the file was but I was excited to see them do whatever (probably something involving the rock) in their older state, but then it just ended on me. Sad........
I want moreeee, this is one of the few slice of lifes I've really enjoyed lately.

Guess I'll post on this thread then.

Short and sweet. Kind of nice that the story was written by Rinko.

So four years have passed since Saki moved to the island. You can really see they've matured. I kinda like Natsumi's boyish look. No wonder she's popular with both boys and girls. :3

I wonder if we'll ever see a sequel to this!

It should have been a finale, but I can't help but feel that it ended abruptly. At least they managed to remain friends. I know that even with the QUALITY issues it didn't make that much profit, but I would really like a second season. Guess I'll go and listen to Ashita e no Kaerimichi.

When I saw Saki, I said.. "Wow. Big titties for a 11-year old." But then I realized that everyone grew up. =D
It was a simple and nice OVA just showing what the girls are doing.

4 years have passed!

Everyone is now high schooler, it was really short at OVA but it did explain a little.

I don't think it will be a 2nd season for it, the anime quality drop badly.

I didn't expect this OVA to come up and was really surprised when I saw it. I missed those characters so much, and being able to see what happen when they grew up really made me smile. :)

Yuka is still being Yuka, even though she has grown up. Hahahaha.

I still wish there's a 2nd season for this, but since the miracle has been finished I guess that marked the end of the story. Again, that's why I didn't expect that there would be any OVA at all.

A good OVA but a bit too short I think. I really missed the chars and I do so even more now after seeing this. I just feel I want more of them, I want a 2nd season now..w

Interesting to see everyone is still the same even though they're grown-up! ^^

I also hoped for another season, but I guess that chance is ruled out.

To be frank, I thought this OVA was practically pointless. They really didn't go much into detail and didn't really create much of a nostalgic atmosphere.

Basically, they ended it a bit too suddenly. I do like how they say the book was called "Natsuiro Kiseki."

Wouldn't say that this anime interested me a lot at times, but it's nice that we got to see what happened to the girls when they were older and if they met up again. Nice and sweet, still rating it a 6/10 though

i think that was a very good way to close off any loose ends with the series.

the 4 year time skip was a pretty neat way to start off. im kinda sad that they all ended up going their separate ways, i really wanted them to achieve their original dreams of becoming idols together. :(

i love how it closed off though with rinko tying in the title of her manuscript with the title; seemed VERY cheesy, but it was definitely heartwarming

A very well-done conclusion to a good, heartwarming anime about friendships.

I liked the characters very much.. Kinda feel sad that the potential for a Season 2 is diminished somewhat =(

It's like seeing your old friends grow up and live their own lives.

Didn't expect the massive jump in time! It's nice to follow up on all the characters 4 years later to see what they're up to. It's short and sweet. At least they tied this fun adventure off with the book title.

I actually think of the contrary. With an OVA like this, this gave Sunrise all the more reason to make a sequel for Natsuiro.

Short, and average. They could've added more. And the title cover picture was misleading. Thinking that they'll do another idol scene at the end. I disappointed myself.

Anyway, It's nice to see what the girls are doing and look so grown up. Not liking the new Natsumi look. Her face looks like stretch and older than see really is. It doesn't feel like the epilogue thought when they announce the title at the end. It felt like another new beginning to their life, hinting a possible sequel in the future.

5/10

That was a short, but nice extra. 4 year later epilogue, huh? I kinda already forgot how old they were originally, though. They're what, probably already 18/19 in this epilogue? But yeah, nice to know they remained friends after all that time.

I think when you get right down to it.. their true 'original' 'dream/desire' that was really only spoken outloud once in the series (final episode) was to always be the best of friends - and it seems that is well and intact and I dont think it needed any supernatural help ;) So you have friends for life who simply are picking different career paths more or less. (and it seems we only got the 4 year time skip as they have seen each other before this 4 year skip - which would seem obvious)

And hey cheesy can be good haha it was nice =3 a bit short but nice.

i just saw this anime on my PTW and saw it was subbed. tbh i don't remember the story of it. all i remember was the rock. the rock made more impression to me than the heroines.

It's hard to believe that four years have passed, they still look the same as far as I can tell. It was nice to get some aftermath info on where each of the girls is at and where they plan to go from there. Yuka is still able to get a few laughs from me even with a mere 7 minutes. Although it was a bit amusing how the way they built up to saying the title at the end made it seem like this OVA was one giant advertisement.

7/10, a nice follow up and lets my mind rest easy knowing that the girls were able to make their last wish come true - remaining best friends forever.

It was too short for a OVA. I wish it was longer and had more scenes of the girls achieving their goals as Idols though, but it was nice nonetheless.

Upon seeing the pic with the four of them as idols before I even watched the OVA, I honestly thought this OVA was about them becoming idols. It was still a great one though.

To be honest, when looking at the cover I did fear to need watch more Idol stuff from them. In the end it was a short but nice OVA which adds a nice close to the anime. Always nice to see how characters are doing sometime after the end of a story.

I was honestly fooled thinking this was going to be 11 minutes. Turns out the ED was actually 4 mins. Smh.

Would be nice to have a S2.
We know they studying at high school now.
And what kind of 'dream' they have.

Overall, I liked this OVA. Give us some information we wanted to know.

I legitimately wasn't expecting it to be that short. It was really and truly just them literally saying what they've been doing for the four years after the series. It almost feels unnecessary considering how well done the original series was. I'm also not sure why the last 4 minutes needed to be nothing but white screen. Like, we couldn't at least get some still shots of future events?
