I can honestly see why people wanted this OVA to exist, since it gave a happy ending to Yukki.
But why ? I was fine with the original story, since it gave a conclusion, where nothing more bad could happen. yes, it left Yukki more of an emo than anything else, but it still concluded.
let me start from the beginning, it is a normal summers day, where suddently, Yuno gets the feeling that she is missing someone in her life. and according to the OVA, it is inplanted by 1. murmur WHO have received the memories from 2. murmur concerning Yuno......how ? she was
...
imprisoned the Whole time, so how did she receive the memories and transmit them to Yuno ? not to mention that alot of the characters from the series that we see in this one, have either gotten Little to no screentime or their characters have gone a 180-turn without us seeing why.
So yuno wants to retrieve the memories of her 1ST version from Deus' archieves, while most of the characters in the archieve arbitrarily lets her go through with it, with Little to no concern about her insanity getting inherited to the 3rd version.....O.O.......
as for the technicalities, I liked them. even though the original opening theme wasn't there, it's replacement wasn't bad. the animation, art and sound was still that of the original series. so I cannot complain about that.
But what really bites with ones own tail is the writing:
beloved characters are rarely shown, have Little screentime or have been arbitrarily changed simply to suit the story to give our original main hero a good ending. and that is one of the biggest "no-go"'s in character writing: writing them to suit the plot. because that is what usually make stereotypes and blank characters.
I know that I have spoiled a few Things and I have been a Little bit angry, but I swear: the animation, art and sound is still as good as the main series, but the story and characters could have used a rewrite.
don't fix, what isn't broken.
