Alright I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's because it's a special episode. Maybe it's because it's been so long since I've seen the original series and I'm not remembering the details so well. Maybe it's just because I've seen so much more anime since I first watched this series and I'm less pessimistic toward the genre now, but somehow I was actually enjoying this episode.
It's a bit of a weird sendoff for such a short series, but it's not a regular episode and probably doesn't fit into the story chronologically at the end. It was a cute little episode about reminiscing on the past while swimming at an indoor pool in the winter.
Perhaps I was too harsh on the story for being incest-centric in my review of the main series. If I went back and watched it again in it's entirety I may come out of it seeing it in a more positive light as a whole. Maybe I was just being cynical about the nature of ships and yuri. I guess I'll just keep a more open mind in the future. 7/10
