One OVA is a fairly confusing, but beautiful look at the life of Orihara Kouhei, and promises that he has made in his childhood. In each of the 4 episodes, more of the mystery of Kouhei's past, and relationships with his fellow students is revealed. Much more cannot be said about the plot without giving major spoilers. Based upon a popular PC game.

She has returned from a trip to the USA because she remembers a promise they all made ten years ago.. but ten years is a long time, and memories are easily forgotten. Who knows what could come from this reunion...

As the reuniting continues, Yuuichi soon starts to realize that his past may be far more complex than he once believed it to be...

Although the worlds of heaven and earth used to exist as one, they are now seperated by the boundaries of time and space. As the towers of heaven begin to fall, Munto, the magical king, descends to earth in a seemingly futile attempt to find the chosen one who can stop the worlds from being destroyed.
As the seasons pass, a lone stray cat reminisces of life with his master. He talks of the small passions of their time together, and how their shared affection gives them each a reason to be alive. Speaking both of love gained and love lost, he chronicles the eternal nature of their bond, as despite their own respective heartaches they still have each other. The two converse in a touching tale of the true strength of friendship in the face of hardship.
There is a striking similarity between the Makoto Shinkai's works and One. Being somewhat melancholic and lyrical they focus more on capturing the mood of particular scenes than complex story or characters.
