Like 2 fucking years since the anime aired. I don't even remember how it ended.


lol I kinda felt the same way but quickly remembered most of the key points.

My poor Kanna.

Long time to wait for a short OVA that was mostly a recap covering a treasured memory.

The start of the special made me feel incredibly nostalgic. It threw me back two years so to speak and I was set for a ride on nostalgia road. Even so, the episode itself was lackluster and, as you fellas mentioned, a recap of the events already known to us.

The ending left a bittersweet feeling but all in all the special didn't live up to its predecessor whatsoever...

Enjoyable OVA :) just watched the season of the show so this was a nice continuation. I would love the recipe for Remon's Dynamite Drink! lol

The only thing missing for me would be Ichika finally coming back to Earth and having a romantic and heartfelt reunion with everyone and being able to stay and be with Kaito. Maybe they'll put out a second OVA *fingers crossed*.

It was meh, but I liked the fireworks scene.

I also enjoyed the music, but that was basically it; I'm not a big fan of the show to begin with anyways. 5/10.

Hi guys, my name is Andrew and foremost I do not speak very good English, so I will strive to get it understand what I'm saying.

Today I have watched "Waiting in the Summer" with the "OVA 01", but like many of you, I did not like the end of this anime. I think there should be a second "OVA" or a second season. For example where Kanna can find the love and be happy.

The point is that, the last "OVA" occurred last summer in 2014, I really hope there is a second "OVA" or second season soon. In Japan is summer now, I firmly believe that the producers of this anime can do something for us very soon.

On the other hand, this anime gave us very clear indications that there will be a continuation. At the end of episode 12 in the last scene of the film that Kaito is showing at the festival of the Institute, only noticing the clothes that Ichika wears. This is a typical clothing from Bolivia. How could Ichika wear those clothes? Because in the same episode, Kaito's sister brings to Ichika the same clothes as a gift, but Kaito's sister is surprised and at the same time, she is disappointed because Ichika is gone.

Please tell me about other forums where we can ask that this anime continues.
Thank you very much and I hope you have understood what I have written.
I welcome your comments.

Mio has developed quite an attitude, I am surprised.

Found this pretty relaxing and nice. Missed old ED and OP, esp Vidro Miyou. But the new ones were really good, too. I am a fan of the original work, so yup, I enjoyed it.

Im not sure how to feel about the OVA, I just binge watched the entire season and this OVA felt lacking. They already showed us Ichika returning so I though we'd get a reunion scene or something.

Well at least Mio and tetsuo are a couple.

7/10 the OVA

It was a decent episode, nothing out of the ordinary or special. I'll give it a 6/10. I really hope there will be a sequel to this. They should make an OVA where Kaito visits Ishika in space and meets her family and sees her planet. If not in an OVA make it part of the sequel if its going to happen. I think that would be an interesting plot point that would breathe some fresh air into the series instead of her going back to earth. I mean they have the spaceship to travel there now which means Kaito could possibly travel to her planet with the help of Remon or she comes back due to Earth having advanced technology thus no longer making it a Planet F development.

Huh, Ichika did returned which was showed during the school festival(years later) film in the anime series episode 12, but it took some time thou. You can see Ichika wearing the Bolivia shirt bought by Kaito sis.

The condition of Ichika returning is for the earth to have space advancement to seek and join the federation. In the last scene of the ova the MIB able to build a spaceship and Ichika able to return.

It's been quite a while since I saw the original anime, and I had forgotten how much I liked it. This was a good OVA, as a sequel/unseen events from the original. While it may be hinting at a sequel, I doubt one is coming at this point. It's probably been too long. And i'm perfectly happy at how it ended. I thought this OVA would be Ichika returning, like what was hinted at in the last episode of the original series, but I guess not. But I don't mind leaving things ambiguous, in this case.

This special episode wasn't necessary for me, it didn't bring new things and ten minutes were about something that happened in the past.

So, er, what the hell was the point of this OVA/episode 13 if not to actually directly show Ichika returning to earth, as was so clearly implied to have happened in episode 12? Sure, we had time to show a second instance where Remon got everyone drunk, but not to more solidly confirm the obvious about Ichika's return. And in not accomplishing that and wasting time on that pointless rehash, I can say with confidence that this OVA accomplished literally nothing and that it has no business existing whatsoever: everything we see happen in this OVA was already implied in episode 12's ending montage, and with far better execution as well.

4/10. An entirely pointless OVA.

The person who posted in the episode 12 thread was right. It is pretty much inconclusive.

It's more fanservicy this time. It's mostly memory of events not shown in the anime but captured on tape, when they were tipsy.

It has slightly better animation. For most of this episode, I felt that it's just a trip down the memory lane and that Ichika will never come back. She never came back in this episode.

But from the imagery and the optimistic music, it looks like that the MIB has developed the ability to space travel across the galaxy, and perhaps the Galaxic Federation would allow Kaito and Ichika to date.

Nice OVA, if the whole season would've been like that I would've enjoyed it a lot more. Characters just have good chemistry and are interesting to watch, a pity there is no 2nd season.

A great anime. I really liked the vibe at certain points that would have made the show more interesting. It starts off with Kai talking about death and literally dying, and there's a sense that his injuries reverse without Ichika. Then Ichika rejects him, which ends up being a misunderstanding but would have made the love pentagon more dynamic. Then there's Remon seeming to know the future and everything about aliens and being 17 forever... I swear the cliffhangers hook you and the resolutions are always disappointing.

There's a massive inconsistency in the ending. In episode 12 the movie is finished with frames showing Ichika wearing the souvenirs, but the OVA makes it clear that she didn't come back.

One of the worst things about this show is that basically no one ends up together. Kai and Ichika separated. And despite the conflicting messaging, it seems like they'll never see each other again. He didn't even get laid T.T. Kai and Kanna are just single now. Tetsurou is technically going out with Mio but refuses to make it official, hoping that Kanna will change her mind. So really he's just stringing Mio along.

The childhood friends almost never win. It makes sense why. It's a contest between a relatively boring person you don't see romantically, and this exciting new oddball that sweeps you up off you're feet. That's the reason they don't often win in real life either... I liked Ichika and the rest of the cast. I definitely liked Kanna more. The only pairing I really wanted to see work out was Tetsurou and Kanna, but we barely get any of that in the show.

8/10 (7/10 for this special). I can't believe they never realized they were drunk with how plastered they kept getting. Devil loli Remon was best girl; sour like her namesake.
