There was an OVA series made from Dōkyūsei, which was originally a 45-minute one-shot, but the original release was expanded into two half hour episodes, with two more episodes added, for a total four. The first two episodes were released as End of Summer, and episodes three and four were released as End of Summer 2 in the North American market by SoftCel Pictures, an imprint of ADV Films. A two-episode sequel, entitled Dōkyūsei Climax Files was also released.
End of Summer is about a boy who seeks after a redheaded girl named Mai and along the way runs into difficulties (and trysts) with several other girls, namely, Kurumi, Miho, Misa, and Satomi.[1] It was renowned for its romantic attributes[2] and quality of animation.[3] The depth of character development has been reviewed as being above average, although the format forced on it by OVA requires some compromises with realism.[4] The film has some classical music.
The gameplay in Dōkyūsei revolves around wandering through different locations in a town, conversing with whatever character you happen to meet. To finish with a girl, the main challenge is to learn the times of day when the girl will be in a location.
