Not every series needs a conclusion. This is especially true for a series that is built on episodic gag comedy and that has a gimmick of showing the main girl's panties every episode. This type of show did not win over fans with complex storytelling or really any sort of substantial drama whatsoever, so it's quite puzzling why the creators felt that such a dramatic finale was necessarily.

If you're reading this review I assume that you're familiar with the 2014 TV series adaptation of Majimoji Rurumo. In that series you should note the plot point that states that Kouta's life will end when his contract with Rurumo expires. This was a relatively minor plot point in the TV series and was mostly ignored in favour of comedic episodic plots. In the OVA this plot becomes front and centre and serves as the primary conflict of the story.

It's really hard to explain why I dislike this OVA so much without blatantly spoiling it. I'll try my best to not go into too many specifics. Basically the OVA ends status quo ante. In my opinion there is no significant difference between the status quo at the end of this OVA and at the end of the TV series. I understand that this point can be disputed but really any differences that exist are relatively minor compared to all the drama, intrigue, grieving, and despair that was expressed in these final 2 episodes. In my mind this makes the entire final 2 episodes hopelessly pointless.

I want to emphasize that I am not opposed to dramatic plots in comedy series in general. My big qualm with this finale just comes from the fact that nothing substantial results from all the drama. What was all this conflict for? Just to confirm an ending that didn't need confirming? None of the key elements of the conflict in this OVA are even hinted at in the series. The OVA heavily features a character that only appeared ONCE in the TV series and features many more characters that never appeared. This OVA just created a dramatic plot out of thin air and then dramatically and climatically resolved it, all just so we could go back to the same situation we were at at the end of Episode 12. What was the point of it all?

I just wanna conclude this review by saying that I understand the frustration of watching 12 episode anime series' that don't have proper conclusions. I've personally understood the feeling of wanting a series you love to have a proper conclusion. But if the conclusion you so desired is completely divorced from everything that made the series worthwhile in the first place, then is it really worth it? Some stories are better left unresolved.
