    Synopsis:

    Yui Furukawa awakens on July 13th, a date etched with unfamiliarity, and finds herself embarking on a summer with the Astronomy Club at a secluded villa owned by the Hanamiya family. The estate carries echoes of the past, linked to the pioneering research of Nagisa Hanamiya’s great-grandmother, who worked at a nearby military facility developing advanced technologies.

    A sudden tempest forces the club into the shelter of an abandoned factory, and subsequent exploration unveils a hidden subterranean bunker. Within its depths, they discover evidence suggesting a profound link to a forgotten future – a reality diverging from their own. The narrative follows Yui and her companions as they navigate this unexpected discovery, confronting questions about history, innovation, and the potential consequences of altering time’s course, all against a backdrop of historical intrigue and atmospheric isolation.

      I don't typically write reviews, but since this OVA currently lacks any here I go. Also, unlike typical reviews that mention superfluous things like the art, music, etc. this will not, since nothing has particularly changed from the previous episodes. Firstly as OVAs so tend to be, this is largely about the fan-service. Secondly, minor spoiler that's revealed in the first minute, this takes place during summer vacation, which suggests that this timeline Yui was transported to predates the events of the bus accident by several months. However, for Yui's own timeline, it can be concluded that it takes place around the time that the UchihamaSyndrome became first established. As with OVAs that feature summer vacations, there has to be a spooky portion, which undoubtedly will feature ghosts as this anime has in the past.nnNow, I wasn't fond of this anime, so my opinion of it provides a slight bias, but at its core, this ova at least answers a question of what-if. What if Yui was sent to the wrong point in time and what would come of that?nnSo was it enjoyable? I guess, but like the rest of the anime it wasn't all too interesting. However, the spooky portion was a nice change from your typical beach fan-service OVA.
