Ugh, damnit. I weirdly enjoyed that.

Like with all specials, it was just an epilogue kind of deal, four years later, what's going on with the characters, all that, and they tried to incorporate newer fantasy elements regarding the dreams, but besides that aspect being new in a special, this was as tried and true as it gets.

I would've liked, just like the series, if the fantasy aspect had been developed more. I actually think the added complexity of Ai being able to control his dream, Yu being able to venture into Ai's dream would have been so interesting to explore and they should have done that in the series itself. The fantasy aspect overall was just very underdone, thirteen episodes and I wanted a little bit more, even though I loved the romance.

That being said, I have no complaints about the romance. It did take me by surprise when they said they've been dating for four or five years, and that's only because I didn't bat an eyelid when I thought Yu was proposing to Ai after maybe a few months of dating, lol. I don't know what happened there, but both the couples had plenty of moments and the chaos and comedy that comes with these catch ups.

It's nothing new and nothing brilliant, but it was sweet and funny and they wrapped up what was already well wrapped up, even better.
