Minami-ke Natsuyasumi is what it should be.  Curtain call for the cast of characters that have entertained the fans who were into the insignificant lives of the three Minami sisters, Haruka (maternally gifted oldest), Chiaki (tact-challenged youngest child), and Kana (the scatter-brained middle girl).  The goal is to give a final good-bye to the fans who've followed the insignificant doings of these three girls, their classmates, and the hijinks possible from such mundaneness. The whole 28 minute OVA focuses on two crises, Chiaki's attempts to perform a gymnastic move involving rotating her body around a high bar without falling off, and Kana's meltdown over a pet rhino beetle who's gone awol. Beyond this look for the final tip of the hat to all the antics that gave the franchise a run for a near decade (with hiatus to figure if the premise could be milked for a little more).  The gratuitous beach fanservice with Chiaki still concerned about drowning while exuding the beach scene chic.  A quick glimpse of Makoto in Mako mode to show that crossdressing gets old eventually.  Touma shows a little maternal instinct as she hosts Kana's wayward rhino beetle for a bit (good for her as she feels less for 'him').  Fujioka finds he makes a better big brother to Chiaki than a suitor for Kana’s attention.  Haruka continues to dazzle as she chats with her girlfriends.  Hosaka gives one last pointless chest-bearing.  The typical stich that makes up life among the Minami. This send-off uses the lighter, brighter animation techniques of the feel. animation group.  The themes are thoughtful as everyone is certain that this is it for the project.  A nice touch for the memories.
