This has been said about seventeen thousand times, but a couple things:

First, I didn't watch the OVAs that came out before this did - am I supposed to? Will that fill in the story holes (such as that fucking cute plant thing and the two sisters)?

Second, the story SEEMS like it's picking up from where the first left off, but is that just the convenience of having the first series' ending (to avoid spoilers)?

I think Kuusano from Sekirei and the plant from Motto should have their own show, TBH.
I haven't watched any of the previous anime material but it seems like the sisters and the tree would likely be more than six episodes worth, or would at least take up a pretty large chunk of the ova. I'd guess that the ovas wouldn't successfully link the series together either. I'm not 100% on that. I picked it up here after reading the manga.

the crossover spinoff you describe sounds adorable.

Edit: The mal entry on the ovas lays out each episode and make no mention of the introduction of the sisters or the tree storyline. So I'm thinking no.

Watch OVA 4. It will basically fill you in on the new characters. It'll introduce Nana & Momo. OVA 4 also shows Celine's earlier form near the end of it.

The anime shows random manga chapters, so is the same as always (of course I still enjoy it). Damm they censored it.

Interesting ep.

This was ep1.
Most important characters in this ep: Yami, Mikan/Lala, Yui (in that order!)
Who's Haruna again?

Well, I personally couldn't care less because I'm not a big Haruna fan... and love Yami/Mikan. (Yui and Lala are nice as well)

So for me it was pretty much perfect.. but it's funny. Maybe we can expect some more Yami this season and Haruna... well... supporting I guess. :D

edit: And they seem to not care about a timeline at all. Showing the twins in the beginning but having earlier chapters afterwards... I think. Not too sure, bit it all feels very disconnected.

I hated the ending of the first season (and don't have hopes for this one either), so I'm only watching this for some nice Lala and Golden Darkness scenes. It was a really nice start for me because of that, hope to see more :)

Sup, I'm late to the party.
So anyway, OP's great. Unlike in the previous season. (ED's pretty good too.)

Other than that, I guess the only thing that needs attention (and has gotten loads of attention in this thread already), them censors. God, they're horrible.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Watching that 1st episode with AT-X uncensored raw was definitely better :)
So it's a good start for this second season, even if things are a bit mixed... And 3 different stories per episode ? I have the feeling they are rushing things... 13 episodes then?
But anyway, the chara design is definitely better than the ovas, and the fanservice was a real pleasure :)

Good start to a fresh new season of TLR. It's always nice to see all the same characters back for a new season. Censors were a little overdone but didn't bother me too much. I'm not so fond of the new similar art stlye having seen and hated Kanokon, but ill try and get used to it

Great start, what I didn't like to much was that the episode was divided in 3 parts although those 3 parts where rather good it still bothered me in the end.

The last chapter was nice Yui is such a Tsundere :p

The art and animation seems to be improved allot so that's a plus also the OP and ED are quite lovely as well! Like it so far :D

BD version of this is awesome. and yui scenes make me happy especially the rain drenched shirt. waka waka. it looks like all of the episodes will be like this, i guess to properly reflect the manga. 3 shorts per episode. if they do it right it could be effective.

i also really like the art upgrade. everything looks great.

The changes they made to the eyes made the characters more beautiful, but less cute as a result. Eyes now seem a bit too expressionless.. especially Haruna in the OP; she doesn't look like the same person anymore. Rito looks so much more grown up too.

And holy shit lol their art in drawing Golden Darkness' body in the public bath scene was fucking nice (watching BD). 4 years late watching but better late than never!

Looking forward to watching Season 3 too

Its annoying that no female sees Rito as a man sometimes. Its so painful to watch if it wasn't for the females.

The art style seems to have changed dramatically (the right word should probably be improved, but it will take a while to get used to).

One thing that bothers me is that neither this episode nor the OVA episodes explain anything about oshizu suddenly gaining a human body or the appearance of Celine. Looks like I may need to read the manga/light novel after all...

Yeh this bothers me too, the two sisters and celine were introduced in the OVA episodes first but no explanation whatsoever was given in that nor the second season. Also the plot just straight up dissapeared (at least the first season had some story to follow). Really confusing for people that didnt read the source.

Good thing I watched this uncensored :3 well the graphics are very different, it's more more sharper. Not used to it yet but maybe j. 3-4 episodes.

Well this episode was focused on kotegawa. I wish she wasn't so obsessed with following the rules :(
