Trivia

 * This is the only Love Live! School idol project episode not to receive an English dub. This is because the episode is not distributed by NIS America.
 * This is the shortest episode in the Love Live! School idol project anime, mainly for the reason that OVAs usually aren't as long as normal episodes.
 * This episode marks the first animated appearance of Maki Nishikino's younger self, which was introduced in Maki's chapter of the School Idol Diary novel.
 * The outfit that the younger Maki wears is the outfit that ends up being on her R card for the "Children" set released in LLSIF.
 * To date, this is the only OVA released in the entire Love Live! franchise.

Continuity Notes

 * Due to the training outfits that the girls wear, the OVA probably takes place in the Second Season, between the third and fourth episode.
