Let me start by saying that I normally dislike specials, I find them boring. However, I really liked this special. I watched every minute and was actually interested. The story is about Next Innovation still trying to improve and develop the Personal File project, and Toru and Makoto's relationship. We are seriously playing fast and loose with the tern "NEW YORK special". Its a normal special with a few bits of cringey English and about twenty minutes in total of New York scenes. I found the script and enjoyable and comedic, without being over the top. I loved the bit when Makoto was buying things for the house, it was very nice to see more of their relationship. The story was quite realistic and mirrored the normal problems we all go through when trying to figure out where you are in a relationship, and all the new things that come with it. The acting was amazing in my opinion, couldn't fault it at all. While it was enjoyable, I probably wouldn't re-watch. Also, the soundtrack really starts to grind on you. There are only so many times you can hear the same song before wanting to mute the TV and stab yourself in the ear.
