****SPOILERS AHEAD**** The 1st episode is focused around Ren's memories of Akechi and their interactions that we didn't get to see in the anime and some we didn't even see in the game. Whilst this reflection isn't covered in the game I actually enjoyed and appreciated it being covered here. Akechi's death is something that is mostly brushed over in the main story and doesn't really have much importance in the grand scheme of things but I apreciate that in this first episode we see that it actually did have a big impact on Ren. He considered Akechi his friend and despite the betrayal and trickeryhe could see that he was a victim of orchestrated fate too and could have been helped given the chance. The animation quality was definitely lacking a little but that didn't bother me too much. Overall this episode adds some good depth to both Akechi and Ren as individuals but also as friends. I give the 1st episode an 8.5/10.

The 2nd episode uses a POV format to cover all of the valentines dates in a strange but unique way. The animation quality was significantly better in this episode and probably better than the actual main anime series itself funnily enough. The part with Ryuji was adapted extremely well and I feel improved the already hilarious scene. The addition of the extra date at the very end was really cool to see. I give the 2nd episode an 8/10.

Overall its an 8/10, it covers both a very somber and reflective story but also a very light hearted and cute story and they both work well.
