User remeemes (Score: 6/10):
Just a recap episode from the first half of the show. I could only find half of it on Youtube with auto translate. You do not need to watch it. The art style is the same as the rest of the series. I gave it a 6/10 because it is okay but you will not need a refresher if you are watching the series in a timely fashion anyways. It also is extremely hard to find and not worth the quality that you may find it in. There are no new scenes, just a short scene where Kogure is writing in his diary when thinkingof Sakuragi and Rukawa.
