EPISODE REVIEWS
rembestgirl
That one character with the short hair has a really funny personality and she definitely stole the show during the classroom scene
kunzite
The soundtrack made me feel like I was back in the 90s and I really enjoyed the scene where they were walking through the park
nabooru_268
You can tell this was based on an old game because of the way the girls are introduced one by one and it feels a bit slow
jugrad_juggernaut_482
Character designs with the pointy chins and big eyes look so distinct and the beach scene was a nice surprise
peepe_wabawaba_487
I quite like the soft 90s look of the cherry blossoms and seeing the characters meet up for the first time felt cozy and nostalgic
monk_maz_koshia_296
The way the episode ends on such a cliffhanger with the mysterious girl in the hallway is actually a good hook for the next one
zexion_456
It is definitely an old Elf game adaptation, but the animation during the more suggestive scenes actually holds up pretty well today.
elle_hq
It is mostly just setup so far and not much happens besides meeting the cast but the atmosphere is very cozy and nice to watch
taiju_tenacity_158
Watching the protagonist get into trouble so quickly is hilarious and the way the girls react to him is such a throwback to old school tropes
kenpachi_killer_104
The pacing is a bit slow and it spends a lot of time just establishing the setting but those backgrounds of the school are really pretty
monk_kass
I was impressed by the soundtrack because the music during the sunset walk home really made me feel nostalgic for a time I never lived through
groudon
I forgot how much I missed this specific 90s aesthetic with the hand-drawn backgrounds and the character designs, especially with that first meeting under the cherry blossoms. It captures that end-of-school-year feeling perfectly and even though it is an ecchi show it has a lot of charm in the way it handles the introductions to all the different girls.
darmani
The art style in these old OVAs is just different and I love how the cherry blossoms look in that opening scene
jet_black_177
That rooftop scene with Misa had such a specific vibe and the way the wind blew through the trees looked great for a 1996 show
arsyur
Seeing Ryuunosuke wandering around the school and meeting the girls feels like a classic dating sim intro and the designs are so 90s
tsuyu_tsunami_125
that spring school vibe really worked for me and seeing all these different girls introduced so fast was cool
tulip
Seeing the transition from the visual novel to this animation is interesting, especially with how the romantic scenes are handled here.
momo_creati
This definitely feels like the golden age of visual novel adaptations and you can really feel the Elf influence in every scene. The way the episode introduces the cast under the blooming trees is so classic, even if the ecchi elements are a bit dated by today's standards. It's a slow start but the atmosphere is just so nostalgic.
gobta_goblin_154
the way the protagonist just stumbles into these girls is classic elf stuff and it reminds everyone of the old dating sim era
miraidon
seeing those older ova visuals made me happy because the character designs are way more distinct than the stuff we get now
EPISODE CONTEXT
This is the opening episode of Doukyuusei 2, a direct sequel continuing where Doukyuusei: Climax left off, meaning relationships and dynamics established in the predecessor carry over immediately. As episode one of twelve, its primary function is reintroduction — resetting the emotional baseline before the season builds toward new complications and deeper intimacy. What unfolds here will lay the groundwork for the character arcs that carry through to the concluding Doukyuusei 2 Special: Sotsugyousei.
