Review of given - on the other hand
Ahh This Ova was so satisfying to watch. As someone who read the manga I highly recommend to watch this ova. The way they showed these two interacting was so cute and they looked comfortable with one another and just happy. I kept thinking in each scene how cute Ritsuka and Mafuyu were and as someone who is on the angst stage of their relationship in the Manga, this anime showed why they fell in love with each other. Honestly both Mafuyu and Ristuka are less sad and less conflicted in this so the Ova is a very relaxing watch after watching the Main Animeand the movie.Mafuyu truly looks happy in this Ova. It's just so refreshing to look at him smile.
Just go watch it, you will definitely have a fun time.I Find absolutely no faults in the Ova. I just wish it was longer. Those 20 mins were up too quickly.....I want more!!
"Small Spoiler Warning":- There are 2 things I wanna talk about that really made this Ova worth watching.Don't wanna spoil much but I have to mention them in my review.
1) The Song:-
The Ova version of the song "Yorugaakeru " was so good. The softness with only the vocals and Mafuyu's pov of the song instead of Akihiko and Ugetsu shows how a song is a little different for a different person.
2)The Clock Scene:-
Also the clock scene was so well done and I just love how the moment Mafuyu said out loud that the clock in Ritsuka's room reminded him of Yuki, Ritsuka immediately comforted Mafuyu, pushing aside every other thought he was previously thinking to tell him that Mafuyu need not cry alone when he's with him no matter what his past is. That was so well done and the best part is how Mafuyu slowly hugged him back with his eyes tearing up. Now he understood he need not worry that he is hurting Ritsuka or 'sounding weird' in his words. I really think they did this scene better than the Manga!
