I don't know either. That part there they all were chibies and Ayu & Mayu killed everyone, creeped me out and instead of 5, I ranked this anime 4. I'm really happy that Akane didn't start dating that Gouda. He's the stupidest character ever! I knew before watching that Gouda is stupid, but I didn't expect him to be that stupid! And looks like he didn't truly love Akane, because he fell in love with two other girsl as soon as he saw them. He's girl-crazy too! >.>

This is probably too late of a reply, but basically the end of this episode was sort of a leadoff to the story that's part of the Muv-Luv game. As for the chibi comedy at the end, if I understand correctly, the sign on top said "From Kimi Nozo to Muv-Luv", with the symbolic handing over the bouquet of flowers from Haruka (KGNE) to Sumika (Muv-Luv). Ayu/Mayu & co party crazhed and went ballistic since they won't be part of the new series and had such little time in the OVA.

So, the bizarre ending was only understandable when watching the rest of the series, right?

I didn't expected to understand most thing, but the rest of it was fun enough.

This anime is just a huge lead in to Muv Luv, which centers around Shirogane Takeru. The ending had Meiya get a deal with Gouda where he would transfer out, letting her transfer in. Queue Muv Luv Extra.

What people don't understand is this is a parody, it absolutely does not have the same atmosphere as the original Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, so i think people that are watching and then watch this are just shocked by the sudden change.

The directors writers wanted to create a cross over from the game Muv-love, character that is hot blooded, does not cry over spilt milk and has a very strong dertimination and a guy with a back bone. These characteristics were lacking considerably in the original series. So this change is kind of unexpected but in truth, its really what Kimi ga Nozomu Eien needed is a character like Goju to help raise everyone's spirits.

I think that is what the writer intended for this ova. Was to show that cross over from a completely different character, diff personality and how he can instantly change Akane and give her hope because of the hell she had to go through in Kimi ga Nozomu Eien even though he was completely oblivious to everything that was going on.

It was kind of cool how this sort of transitioned from KGNE to Muv-Luv and all. Man, I'd really love to see Muv-Luv get a good adaptation, it could be epic as fuck if done right. The problem is how exactly it could be pulled off.

@ link9us

The comedy was more in line with the Extra portion of Muv-Luv, but Takeru (the guy hanging around Sumika and Sakaki) is a much funnier character who isn't quite as brainless as Goda. Though he grows a lot during the course of the story.

Strange opening...

Overall, average OVA although I did enjoy some parts of it especially the talk near the end.

Rumbling Hearts > this though.

Just my 2 cents.

Well a decent side story although pretty weird that they included such weird concepts with the main story all being dead serious... Still pretty funny to see that they've put this kind of concept in the series and well the pace and story of these little side story was pretty decent! The ending sure was funny! So all by all a funny watch!

while it would be bearable on its own, somehow I find this really insulting to KGNE.

A kind of prequel to muv-luv Extra. I think it's told what happened to Gouda on the first lines of the game.

Cut out all the Gouda parts in all 3 episodes and merge into one, ta-da episode 15 of the original...haiz.

I want to give my lowest standard rating but there's Akane as title. Brutal, they can do it properly...why.

Next stop AyuMayu.

The first few minutes and some parts here and there were kinda amusing, especially the very end xD

Still think that I wasted my time with this.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Eh, I don't know how effective are solutions "believe!".. I imagine, they are more useful and efficient in some mechanical tasks.. Like exercises.. Or something.. In itself, it sounds like one of the most empty and meaningless words, actually..
How is that slutty teacher even allowed on school grounds, lol..
Ah, ok, whole him learning to swim and talk after that - just dude's imagination..
Eh, I mean.. It feels like this OVA is more about this dude.. And less about Akane, to be honest.. And I don't care about him that much.. Still, I guess, there are glimses of girls I care about here and there, but then it feels like 90% filler about dude, and 10% interesting content.. Which is kinda eh..
Well, this dude is written a bit annoyingly.. He can spit facts, truth, or at least interesting things.. But at the same time do such stupid shit.. Should I think more about his words, if he's just so annoying to me with some other stuff.. I don't know.. Maybe I could.. Though, I still don't want to, really..
But really some important things he says.. Like that in the past things could be seen as right.. And everyone shares responsibility.. And some inner weakness appears due to sad memories.. And some other stuff.. But in the end.. It's both right and not really, I guess.. Still you have to change sometimes and admit that even if in the past you had your reasons, it doesn't necessary mean that you didn't do shit, just because you had your reasons.. We do shit from time to time everyone, I think.. On the other hand, no reason on dwelling on it or feeling guilty, really.. Just if would want to achieve something - what is it - and what I can do to achieve this now, really?.. Is what I'd say.. And yeah - responsibility is not only yours.. As well as not only other person's.. Helps in cases of both blaming someone, or yourself, I guess.. And about inner weakness.. Hm.. At the end of the day, I think, it's important to just be again someone you wanna be.. Is what I'd think.. Like, if you feel that maybe sometimes you're weak in relationships - relationships are quite taxing sometimes, you know?.. I'd say no reason to go over your head to become terminator emotionally, if that's not who you want to be in relationships.. Also, I agree with this statement maybe having part of truth, but it also feels pathologizing, to be honest.. I think, some acceptance of sad nature of things is also a viable path, not necessary a weakness.. Is it not allowed to feel any negative emotions whatsoever now or what?.. Probably that's not the intent.. Intent is to reach something productive or stuff.. But to reach productive, only on the ground of avoiding weakness?.. Not the motivation I'd personally want to follow..
Well, yeah, this dude is quite not stable in his love interests in the end, lol..
I have no idea, what was about the chibi fight in the end.. Not sure, but they were mad of something, I guess..

I guess that's what explains why it has so much mech stuff because Gouda is actually from muvluv? Are they created with same authors. I mean there is some good akane lore in the 3 episodes but it's just a way to give Gouda a backstory by using a romance anime transfer into a mech anime?
Haven't watched my muvluv but I saw the spoiler part on his info, and he fell in love with someone else that's not in his animeoigraphy? Someone explain this to me so I don't ask too many questions

What? Aside from the characters from Muv-Luv appearing, I got nothing from this. Just nonsense with some age tie-ins.
