If the last episode seemed like it was rushing things too much, then this one probably felt a little bit too slow. I should note that I did appreciate the additions they made to Kazuya’s segment which helped expand on his relationship with Suzume. I guess the problem here really is that it’s split into episodes so you note to yourself that a particular episode was slow and a frowny face materializes on your face. Whereas, in an OVA, there are no pauses so you can gauge the entire thing as a whole so pacing issues kind of end up balancing themselves out (if done right).
I have to say that I was a little disappointed that they didn’t inject the comedy bit from the first episode’s preview into this episode. It was obvious to me as it just wouldn’t have fit in with the OVA’s plot but I guess I still held on to a thin strand of hope until the end of this episode.
From the look of things, they’re definitely going to require the entirety of episode three to conclude the first OVA. The same will probably apply for the second OVA. This will mean there will be six or seven episodes to finish things up for this series. I’m not sure if there’s been any concrete proof as to whether this series will last for one season or two but I’m putting my money down for a one season-er here.
