Comment:
There are a total of 16 episodes for this series. The first 12 episodes were broadcast on TV and simulcast in Japan and North America. The 4 "OVA" episodes were broadcast online in Japan only.
The first OVA episode is an alternate version of episode 12, the "True Route." So some sources list the final episode as "episode 15," with two different episodes numbered #12.
Although officially referred to as "OVA" episodes, the final 4 episodes were first released online, so many sources refer to them as "ONA."
