Nah not really. The first episode does a pretty good job at introducing the cast and giving you the necessary information to not feel lost.
Don't bother, this is continuity reboot.
Eh I'm mostly with you. I think it works best if you have familiarity with the franchise so you can better question the misdirection especially later on.

It's sort of a reboot, but not entirely. It starts from the beginning, but reintroduces characters in a different way from the first series and manga, which is good because it's better paced and will apparently get to the good part much faster. No past knowledge required.
Narrator is awesome, yo. His role lightens up until 19 though where he gives the best anime narrators a run for their money.

It feels like more effort has been put into the first 2 episodes of Yozakura than the majority of Crowds combined.

I don't know it kinda makes sense if you consider the Experts to be a more lax thing which by appearances it is. Everyone literally does whatever they like, and they seem to know each other/not get in the way of each other much.
We did. You just didn't listen!

Did the first series have as much focus on panty shots/fanservice, because I wasn't expecting so much of it when I started watching this.
I will say the Hoshi no Umi OVA episodes are worth checking out too and I will forever keep pushing those episodes onto people because the fight in episode two owned so hard.

Stop hyping up Yozakura Quartet guys. I decided not to check out that series because reboot or otherwise, it felt awkward getting into a show that had history without knowing any of the previous material, but with people saying "no previous knowledge required" and making out that the changes are for the better and showing off fabulous yuri images, I'm incredibly tempted to jump in. Which is a very bad idea because I NEED TO BE WATCHING LESS SHOWS NOT MORE.
Why do I want these. (I mean, obviously I'm not going to actually buy them, but still.)
Ah well, the important thing about this is that we now have a new lewder illustration for each girl! Saika is still the best girl in the least interesting outfit (and her non-tanned skin is almost disturbingly pale, but I guess contrast is important or something...) Akiho is still worst girl, but at least gets some points for being the only one to drop the pantsu. Mifuyu and Haruna are both still hnnng and yes and want.
EDIT: Also I note ANN have partially fixed their mistranslation of Saika's story, but the last sentence is still completely wrong.

That makes sense. It's like night and day. I suppose I meant to comment on the fact that YQ apparently warrants this quality, when I thought Gatchaman was a bigger deal than the treatment it got. Effort is probably the wrong word.

Another enjoyable episode. Really liked the split storytelling they did, showing what happens during the day with the two different group of characters.

To be fair, I haven't posted much in this thread, but you really should have posted a banner on the top of every page until I noticed!

Just so you don't have false expectations, that's just kind of the way the show is. No-one is willing to give Imagawa enough money or animators anymore, despite the fact (fact!) that he is a master at making giant robot shows.
Only thing I didn't listen to was your silly warning to use headphone. Play it loud son!
I won't let you down next time BGBW!

What disappoints me more is that 'THE iDOLWR@STLER' didn't catch on as the name for it tbh.
That was only if the environment required it. That being said I only use headphones myself!

A better episode than the first. The choice to make Shiroe a support class and strategist begins to separate the show somewhat. He's also the character that raises the most interesting questions and has the best lines. The other characters unfortunately remain pretty bland and difficult to care about. I appreciate that the show addresses the lack of a greater goal and integrates it into the story, but self awareness only affords so much leeway and time will tell if the show manages to hold interest plot-wise. The action was enjoyable, genuinely reminiscent of MMOs and featured tactics and a variety of spells. It's immediately more engaging than any of the poorly directed action scenes that I fell asleep to in SAO.
Despite the positive aspects of the show and it's potential, it's still basically hanging on by a thread for me. I'll give it one more episode.

I actually didn't watch the first anime, and I don't really retain much in the manga that doesn't involve action or Juri and Lila. If there is a ton of fabservice, it gets way overshadowed by the action and some boring yokai politics.
Yozakura Quartet -Hana no Uta- ep.2
Liked it. Not sure what was up with
Funniest bit of the connecting plot threads was discovering why Kyousuke suddenly dashed out of the office in the A-part.

the loli/witch trying to drive Kotoha into despair or whatever? I suppose they'll touch on that subject later.

I don't really want to recommend them until this new series either finishes or gets to where the OVAs pick up. It's completely incoherent without any knowledge of the source/arc.

Haha, thanks!
The show is still crap, it's just that Russia is so awesome a character that she makes it bearable. Without a troll character, the show would be sooooo bad.

I must've missed the yuri. Also a lot of flat colors which led me to suspect some higher quality animation, although there was some jank walking at the beginning.
We get our cast up and up with jackasses floating about, a little boy who isn't afraid of copping a feel, and FUCKING GOLDFISH! (new fetish am confirmed)

I would say so.
so much yuri so little time!
Will check out #1,2, and 4. In particular anything by Studio 4c!
Some kind of Fiat? Well whatever it is, theres a blue haired catgirl in the picture so I approve!

Yes best announcement this season yet (well after samumenco), glad I wasnt the only buying the bds of s1 and s2 that they decided to get s3 (and its 25eps). Hope we get an s4.
Not exactly hard to jump over a subterranean bar, now, is it?
Sadly, that isn't very hard
Still, it really is legitimately good.
When I say years, I mean more like decades. We'll see if it holds up.
The best part about it is that chances are we won't have to hear the stupid spiel about peace.
But you guys, the only OVA with "Hoshi no Umi" in the title that's worthy of such praise is Hoshi no Umi no Amuri!
