Twins? And that megane guy is unwanted? That's why he really wants Akina's power, the "wanted" power to combine with Onmyou power (to not change form) to become ultimate. Akina somehow got the illusion spell and even the nurse cannot cure him, but the witch sister was able to stop it. Piano ver. of the OP, so soothing.

Akina wasn't happy about the battle undone for a bit, but the nurse reminded him to cheer Hime up, too. Witch girl (nurse now, too) is enjoying the time staying with everyone. lol @ even that enemy is enjoying the festival alone.

Well that was fun. Seems like they tried to squeeze a lot of the action into this finale. Enjin still pisses me off but I admit he's a bit strong.

Going to miss this show ;.;

7/10. Hime is still awesome as ever.

I'll hope they will continue to adapt the series like this even after Tsuki ni Naku OVA.

Good episode. Nice to see the sisters all happy. Juri trying to make Akina smile by tickling him was funny. Good series overall.

I could watch a lot more of this show. Shame it is over.

Ending ended kind of abruptly imo. I'm sure this is more story past this. My overall enjoyment of this installment was quite high so I hope more get's adapted if that is the case.

Objectively the story has some pit falls, maybe plagued by a 13 episode run but honestly I don't know the source to compare it to. With that said, I enjoyed this a lot each week. Large cast of good characters. Animation was perfect for this. SFX and sound track were good. Gotta say 9/10 just really stood out this season subjectively. Objectively it's prob a 7 or 8.

Loved the show, and a great adaption to the manga. Saw some youkai hunters in the ending that appears later in the series so that hopefully means a sequel~

It's over :(( So many animes have 24 episodes this season, why is this one ending. Q_Q
I loved the ending though, unlike most 12 episodes animes it didn't leave a huge cliffhanger to force people into the manga. :P

Don't think this was quite as enjoyable as the Hoshi no Umi OVA, but it had its moments. I was expecting a little more of a climactic finish, but I can't be too let down when I got a train cannon and Tray Defense Force out of this show. Also, the festival visuals were quite fitting for an end of the year finale. 6/10

Great end to 2013 (I watched it just a few minutes before New Year, haha), and a really great manga-to-anime adaptation. To understand the series more, I definitely think the manga is worth a read.

Sort of wish they delved more into Kotoha's past, because she's such an interesting and eccentric character. Not putting hopes up for a season 2 because of where the manga is at this point, but hey, who knows?

I need a S2 the characters in this anime have these crazy and unique powers and we didn't get to see them all yet, especially Lila she's not even a demon so how the hell is she doing that? I really want to know the secret behind the other world and I want to see a real final showdown between Akina and Enjin.

Pretty amusing with how they ended things with that question of how exactly Lila is doing all that stuff. And her mom just rolling with everything, lol. Guess there's nothing too strange coming from that world and a family descended from Frankenstein.

Yeah, i find it hard to follow the story and the ending didn't really explain much. Why after all that, enjin can just talked to the others normally.....

I like the characters interaction & action also! I started watching this only, then cut to Hoshi. Enjoyable. I like Enjin and Akina.

To the people that find this to be incomplete, it's because it's an arc(specifically the Hana no Uta arc) in the overall story. The plot is easier to follow if you've read the manga, although hopefully they'll release seasons for the other arcs as well so that it'll be possible to watch them in sequence. The possibility of another season does seem likely, since three future antagonists appeared in the ending scenes, along with Enjin.

While it's a bit unusual, I think I prefer the approach of remaining truthful to the manga and spreading content out over multiple seasons/OVAs as opposed to trying to cram all of the arcs into one, even if it does mean more waiting between episodes.

This was the first YZQ anime that i have watched, so i'm not sure if this is a sequel or something.

Regarding the anime, it was definitely something for me. It did its best to keep itself neutral, by that i mean, they try not to pursue the drama further and just insert some sort of comedy to lighten up the atmosphere. It was kinda annoying, but i eventually got used to it. Good story and characters, so to say. Good series overall.

7/10.

Unexpectedly this is one of the series this season that I always look forward to watching every week.. I'm baffled with its low popularity but I guess it's because people thought they need to watch the previous adaption.

Sure, it's a remake and I didn't watch the first adaption nor do I read the manga, yet unlike some people here I don't have any problem following the story at all. The characters are very diverse and likeable in their own way, the fights are never drawn out too long yet still awesome in its own way. I really hope there's another season to this.. I've been watching the OVAs (including Hoshi no Umi) and they are just as good as the main series.

If anything, I don't think I watched YQ for the story, I watch it for the badassness of the characters and their interactions. Seriously, all of them are badasses, act cool at all times, and just emit swag whatever they do.

YQ has one of my favourite set of characters in any anime media ever.

With other anime had characters that had the same amount of swag.

At first I was curious about this show due to all the hype it got. So I gave it a try, enjoyed it quite a bit at first, got bored mid-way, and ended up liking it again in the end. Interesting experience, indeed.

A decent episode, and a fairly faithful adaptation overall, even if they did cut the Walking Pilgrimage arc in its entirety (OVA maybe? We can hope, right?). It was also nice to see the other youkai hunters (and one extra antagonist) make cameos in the ending credits.

That's really the big thing here. It has some great characters, especially in the supporting cast. While this is not uncommon, it has an unusually high ratio of good characters to weak ones, which has always been one of its main draws. This has also always given the impression that the title is something of a misnomer (possibly intentional?), since so much material focuses on characters other than the 4 leads.

I was very pleased with this 'redo' of the original anime - and how loyal it was to the original Material (For those who got confused with the op change and zakuro simply watch the ova that occurs inbetween and covers that arc) and I believe the current airing OVA covers the next arc also.

unlike the original attempt at an anime adaption this one did not fall flat on its face and more or less become an anime original with similar character designs and powers ~ and the animation style and quality were quite well done through out the series itself and the music was fantastic .. heres to another full TV season ~ and maybe a continuation of the manga publishing in the USA havent been since del rey went down.

9/10 Much enjoyed anime ~

Yeah and judging by how the 2 ovas and TV anime have been done so far it should be well done too and there is still a decent amount of material they could cover before catching up to the manga.

Overall it was indeed enjoyable, a little anti-climatic ending but it's ok.
I'm expecting to see a second season anytime soon, and I'd gladly watch it.

7/10 then.

8/10 had a blast watching this :D
But if there is anything, I feel like Juri's story arc mixed in with the ending kinda vexed me :/
Felt like it slowed down the momentum of the finale, wich is a killer for me. I feel that I don't have to know about Juri's past, she just have to be that sexy nurse :)
Although I do understand that her sister have played a big part ever since the beginning.

Seriously, characters were the best part of this anime. The last anime I remember, which had so many interesting and lovable chars, was Gintama. It really says a lot.
Animation and sound was just as amazing. Weakest part was story obviously, but still it was far from bad. Really hoping for a season 2, since it's such an open ending.
Was going to give it a 7, but after watching last 3 episodes I up'd it to 8/10. A really enjoyable series.

To those of you thinking it ended quite abruptly, this anime was never meant to tell the entire story of Yozakura Quartet. Rather, they are taking certain arcs in the manga and animating them. With the appearances of the next youkai hunters in the ending, I'm sure the next few arcs will be animated. While it takes longer between episodes, the animation is fantastic and they don't have to cram volumes of material into a 1-cour anime.

Currently, the timeline is as follows:

1st Arc: Thorny Path
YQ ~Hana no Uta~ Episodes 1-8

2nd Arc: Sea of Stars
YQ ~Hoshi no Umi~ OVA 1-3

MiniArc: Walking Pilgrimage

3rd Arc: Song of Flowers
YQ ~Hana no Uta~ Episodes 9-13

4th Arc: Crying in the Moonlight
YQ ~Tsuki ni Naku~ OVA 1-3

MiniArc: Story.

5th Arc: Oni Tale
Not animated yet!

Currently, only OVA 1 of ~Tsuki ni Naku~ has been released, but I hope this timeline saved some confused people some pain. The mini-arc "Walking Pilgrimage" gives the backstory of Mariabelle and the two gods, which has not been animated yet. The mini-arc "Story." is some sidestory but also delves into the past of the actual counselling office, including when Kotoha got struck. This, of course, has not been animated yet. Finally, Oni Tale will go over the next Youkai Hunter.

Anyways, Hana no Uta: Beautiful animation, and a great adaption of the manga. Looking forward to Tsuki ni Naku, and further animation of the future arcs.

Kind of sad that the fight ended like that, but at least the series was wrapped up in the SH.
That ending was one of the most pleasant things of the season ^^, if only it got more time. .

I'm going to miss this underrated series so much! T_T Great variety of characters with cool powers and personalities and not too much focus on any single one, and amazing animation during those fight scenes. Now to decide a rating somewhere 8 or 9. Again, I'm going to miss YZQ T_T
