THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The first thing I noticed about this episode, were the very beautiful background animations. Character design was very simple, but the sceneries, mountains and plants were just very pretty. Because of Alpha's travelling we saw a lot of these and that leads to me liking this episode more than the previous.

There still wasn't much story here, but the low-pace and soft and slow music made this episode very relaxing too.

Overall this OVA was better to me as the previous one. It may be because I watched that when I was younger and I appreciate slice of life more now, but this one didn't bore me very much and the other OVA did a little bit.
8/10 Yay!

I can only agree with you, a very beautiful episode, and the second OVAs are better than the first ones. But it can be a bit difficult to understand the episode if you do no know what/who Misago is. But well, they are made for the readers of the manga in the beginning.

Well there were quite a bit of things going on in this episode. It was interesting to actually see a male robot in this. Plus they actually gave Kokone some decent air time. Glad to see Alpha went home at the end.

Over all I thought it was much improved from the first, but it still suffered from being too drawn out at times. Liked it, but didn't love it.

6/10 for me.

A damn shame, this would have been good if it had more but sadly it didn't. It also didn't pick my favorite parts of the manga

Alpha's trip away from home added a slight sense of adventure, which I liked. Overall, this was pretty good, although I would've loved to have seen Alpha rebuild the damaged part of the cafe before it ended.

Not as good as the first episode, but still enjoyable.

Overall 8/10 from me.

Much better then the previous adaption for this beautiful manga. I just wish they added a bit more music because of how long scenes can go on without any talking. I really liked the scenery in the manga, and they did a great job of adapting it.. It's just that it gets rather boring staring at the same frame moving bit by bit with no audio.

8/10 (but read the manga first, not very enjoyable as a standalone)

It's funny to me that the anime adapts the one arc in the manga that is least like everything else that is shown in it lol. I mean I'm not complaining, I'm actually pretty happy this is what they chose to animate, but it's still pretty funny they picked this arc to do

I really liked this, but I loved even more the first two ovas from 1998. But this has left me with some question, Why is Alphas hair green now instead of blue? And who is the naked robot and why is naked??? Does she have a problem with windows updates??

One really short nude scene really alters the rating from G - All Ages (1st ova) into R+ - Mild Nudity (this ova)

Leaving the random naked android aside, this was another lovely episode. Though truth be told, I think the 98' OVAs did a better job at executing the relaxing atmosphere.

5/10 - Would still love to see this getting a proper anime adaptation. I already added the manga to my PTR list, by the way.

I tried to enjoy it as much as possible. There are so many questions that I want an answer to. All in all it is still calming but I prefer this to be a series

I've read the manga and the visuals were definitely a lot better there but if this does get a proper adaptation, I think it should do the manga readers good.

Beautiful! I'm sure I will be watching again. And reading YKK again. I cannot express the overwhelming sense of peace I have after watching this.
