"Shuffle! Prologue" is a short OVA teaser for the "Shuffle! anime series" based on the visual novel of the same name. While some of the animation was reused for the first episode of the anime series, most of "Shuffle! Prologue" is unique animation not repeated in the series, although the story itself is retold.

*Rin is grabbing Sia by her bloomers to stop her from falling, exposing her panties.
