I really get S2 vibes with this OVA. Like the end there, they could've ended it with Futaba planning to get ready for the next day, but showing Kou calling to cancel and showing Touma...I really think we might just get a season 2.

That aside my OTP is just too perfect. THE FEELS the second half of the episode!

Omg, this episode >.<

I felt really sympathetic to Yuuri when she confessed. Knowing that she would get rejected yet having to confess.

The 2nd part was!!! From Futaba confessing through the train sounds to having planned a very special day at the festival. That hug!!! with Kou almost being unable to hold himself back and Futaba just really made herself clear!

Jesus Christ, Yuri is trying hard and by hard, I mean seriously, she is going for every trick in the book.

This OVA irritated me a little because a certain someone just had to show up. If season 2 ever happens, I have no doubt that guy (Touma) would appear and play a much more prominent role.

Second half was cute though. Too bad about the actual Summer Festival. Still...we get Shuuko (she's even treating her friends to donuts!) I am satisfied.

Apparently, fairly minimal discussion of this OVA among fans in Japan. They are all
excited about the live-action movie which came out in theaters on December 13th.
Here is a short video showing the actual locations where the movie was filmed, in
a girls' high school in Nagasaki. Some of the cast members meet actual students at
the school.

This OVA had soo many cringy moments. I'm glad that Yuuri is out of the way now though. I'm kind of starting to get tired from the repetitive nature of AHR.

Seeing the sales (going pretty well actually!) and Production I.G, I think this will get a second season.
The last part of the second episode of the ova is like a huge "WELCOME SEASON 2".

Oh well.. Let's just wait (and hope and PRAY) that we get a second season!

Got rejected under the fireworks. That really hurts. Oh well, got to move on Yuuri. :(

Kou and Futaba moment was nice. Too bad that Kou won't be coming to the festival. Futaba even had high hopes of it and wanted to confess. Better luck next time.

Hopefully, this is a sign that another season will be coming.

"Do you want some shaved ice, Shuuko~"
"Eh"
LOL.

"That's my first time." LMAO.

Wow Makita confessed, major respect to her.

Futaba scored some major points there, she was adorable.
Dat "You don't know what I am thinking..."

The entire episode was awesome, probably my fav. Touma x Futaba might not be bad either.

Yuuri made more in those twelve minutes for her lovelife, than Futaba during the whole season. At least Yuuri can now move on to someone on her level and not this asshole Kou.

Murao is darling as always. Do your best, Kominato!

Futaba: When the Summer Festival comes, I'll wear my yukata, groom my hair and confess to Kou!
Me: Ohohohohoho, Futaba, sorry to break it to you, hun, but this is Ao Haru Ride, you definitely WON'T.
-cue to Kou telling her he can't come-
Me: WELL WHO WOULD GUESS

I really dislike how Yuuri play dirty with these whole keeping quietly,
don't say anything that she want to/will wear yukata.
This was cunning after this "let's play fair" and then act like that...
I know she was desperate... but really don't like it.

I know I'm horrible, but I rejoiced so much when Makita got rejected! Good job, Kou.

> "That was my first time" If you know what I mean. :p
Sometimes, Futaba says stuff that sounds completely different from out of context. XD

Second half was filled with pure romantic vibes. Kou and Futaba should just get together already.

Decent OVA. Murao still remains as the best girl though. (^^)

I get what you mean... i sort of felt liek that too, but i think in a way she just feels like she's losing to Futaba hence why shes trying to work harder?
I think its a bit complicated ahahah xD

But omg i totally loved this ova omggggg xD xD xD

I feel it was like she need to cheat to have any chance at all.
If they both wear yukata on festival Yuuri still must try more than Futaba
and nothing has not changed and looks like Kou could more start to like Fu...

Also... when they all are together, when Kou and Fu are alone,
then Futaba try to get close to Kou...
that's why her friends don't really know how this is really going with Koutaba
were Yuuri when Futaba is looking she is flirting with Kou.
Not cool, friend.

Glad she finally confessed, get rejected and now she can move on.

Decent OVA episode, been waiting sooo long to see this animated :'D The second half was pretty sweet, except that whole "You don't know what men are capable of" thing that Kou brought up again kinda grated on my nerves :I Can he not find another reason to grab Futaba and hold her close =.='
Why is he so damn cute when he blushes though? It's too much.

It was nice though. Felt a bit bad for Yuuri, but we knew it would never happen anyways.

And with the way they left things, I really hope I'm not getting my hopes up too high by anticipating a second season. Please don't break my heart, Production I.G. ;-;

No joke, almost rated the OVA one point lower because of the appearance of Touma. Season two is definitely going to happen, still debating whether or not I want to watch one season of complete cringe. Nonetheless, ignoring the appearance of "that," it was an enjoyable OVA, I felt sorry for Yuuri however.

A great second Episode. I didn't really like the first episode of the OVAS because i just don't really like it as much.
BUT The second one, I loved it. So many great moments and the end is just basically asking for a season 2 even if it's not confirmed. I think they did that because they can finish the anime if they don't sell it well or continue from the OVA Page 13 onwards because there's going to be a competition (not really) with kou and the other dude. Obviously Kou's going to win but yeah.

I think this ending can be also treat as "invite to start reading manga"
kinda bad way to make OVA based on chapter
and make it available for these who will buy limited edition of manga where 90% of these people are AHR manga fans who already know story?
This could be good if they make it like "unwritten" when even without watching that OVA
you don't miss anything, because some part of story you already have show in first episode... but here?
They will make first episode with short summary about events from OVA? -.-

I don't really want second season because it will be or rushed, or more than 12 episodes or they MUST make another season, no matter how popular 2nd season will be.

Didn't really care for the second episode too much, half focused on the obvious (she really had no chance in hell....), half focused on making it look like we'll advance the plot, but we'll just end it with nothing noteworthy to sell another season. Overall, just another average OVA.

Second season when?

Good OVA.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.
