I'm a bit confused what this was about since there are no subs. Is this like a prequel?
Still really liked the background music tho.

Only understood about 20% of the dialogue, but still enjoyed it. Made me remember how much I liked the series.

Yes this is prequel and imo you don't even need sub to understand something like this OVA episode.

It was even worse than I expected. Not entirely as heinous and maddening as the original, but insulting and harmful nonetheless.

Everyone's saying its garbage, but at least is gave some context as to why the story even happened in the first place?

The original had no backstory and gave us no reason to care about what was happening.
This final episode at least gave us an explanation as to why the events of the main series happened in the first place, so I don't think its awful

That's what I was about to say. Though it's hand shakers, and it couldn't be good...XD

Episode 11 existed entirely as backstory tho. As badly handled as that episode was, it gave everything we needed to contextualize the broken existence of the show, as riddled with errors as the episode was. This is literally just extra nothingness that just tried to add more to what we already know rather than fill any blanks (and of course, it contradicts how the Ziggurat and how here it wipes away people instead of only working when no one other than combatants are around). It shoehorns the pairs who didn't need any extra filling in on their past, including Tazuna. In fact, the scene of everyone crying was absolutely maddening, given that they expect us to feel for walking sacks of shite who I couldn't care less about if they were tortured!

The older twin is your typical bitch, also I get weird vibes with the suit dude everytime he interacts with the older twin sister, it's too creepy, he's probably genuine but still creepy as fuck, his favoritism towards the older twin was too ugh suspicious, idk if that's the right word but anyway, I'm very bothered by the suit guy and older twin interactions, it's too obviously creepy

it's strange... I mean... after a long time, watching this prequel does not even have more meaning.... it as if it came out nowhere. They should have released this together with the anime or at least right after the anime. Right now it won't mean nth for most of those who have watched the anime a long time ago.

Wasn't that bad, it tied in the characters in more of a meaningful way. Tazuna's sisters organs were used to save Koyori and Mayumi's life. Solid prequel thats better to watch after you finish the main anime.

The story atleast had a nice justification over some unexplained thing in the main series. However, it still boring af and the music felt nothing rather just a normal tone that never bring the good mood. Unfortunately. 5/10
