Mixed Feelings
Honestly this OVA is nothing but a fan service, showcasing a path that the actual anime would definitely not take, as it slaughters the tragedy and eternal melancholy that ripped fans hearts out but was necessary for the success of the show, leaving an ending full of fluff and contradiction basically to the entire series.
Now if this had developed into a season 2, i.e. shown the result of this, maybe Yuno becoming the God of the third world, other complications, I would definitely support this turn of events.
The episode itself is beautiful - action scenes are wonderfully choreographed, fast-paced, and artfully consistent; the Japanese vocal cast is intune with the needs of the character; the music is phenomenal, the opening scene blew me away with the art and fit of the song to the anime.
Unfortunately the humour (a present but not vital part of the original story) dominates the piece, and the drama, fighting and reuniting (THE GOOD BITS) are all shoved into the last minutes of the episode - come on, you haven't seen the love of your life in 1000-10,000 years Yukki! Writers please give this some time!

Overall I love the series and the concepts, but this was really underwhelming. Sorry, not sorry.
