OP with OAD OP (special ver. for this ep.)!! Red hair lady being one of the citizens. So that guy isn't gone forever. It was Akina who put the bouquet there.

That megane guy appeared, giving vision to another world to Akina, and trying to get his power. Wow, that old guy is strong, despite being a human. Now he also wants Onmyouji's power.

If you didn't watch it, do it before this episode.

Sure hope the OP change isn't permanent. Not that I dislike the Hoshi no Umi OP, just that Sakura no Ato is my favourite OP this season.

Dat Hime sneeze. "Hakushami!" lol

Didn't expect Zakuro to be this moe.

Funny how in this show the lack of a panty shot is much more surprising than one actually shown.

I'm going to rewatch the Hoshi no Umi OAD before watching this episode. I really liked that part of the manga, and so the anime.

I highly doubt it will be seen again. The purpose of it was to show an abridged version of the OVA (just as I said they'd probably do) at the point where it occurs in the story, without sacrificing any regular air time. It's the most efficient way to handle it after all. Zakuro needed the introduction for those who haven't seen the OVA.

And speaking of Zakuro, they did a good job with her part (I love her personality's complete 180, and she's just too cute in this arc). Still, I really wanted them to do the scene where she was formally accepted into the town, but you can't have everything.
LOL at Ao's map.
Excellent fight in the second half, though I must say that Juri's frankensteiner being 95% panty flash did not impress me.

Zakuro is love.
Old OP gave me nostalgia.

Btw, the second half was pretty good, the fight was well done and exciting as always. I wonder what Akina saw about the other world.

Seems like they skipped Zaku and Rin's arc since they already adapted it in the OVAs...As a person who already watched it...I found the OP summary to be pretty damn epic and pretty much showed everything that happened there...Ofc whoever hasn't watched should watch it but good summary overall.

Now for the ep...that was an epic episode :D

First half was calm and funny with how clumsy Zaku is XD...Lol'd so much at her reaction to Akina's stick XD And she can go crazy like how she did with Shinozuka XD Oh and OFC...Dat apple XD

Kotoha getting flipped was nice ;)...No pan ftw!! <3

Now second half was brilliant!!! Loved it so much. Dat action!!!

Enjin showing up out of nowhere and showing Akina the other world. Damn that looked painful O_o!

I didn't expect that but Damn we have ourselves a friggin BA Ossan!!! O_O XD...Totally Owned Enjin like he was nothing XD

Loved Juli's Frankestein!! I want to be hit with that >.< Dem Thighs!!! Dem Panties!! Dat ass!! ;) <3

Gravity dude was pretty awesome too. And finally Akina waking up with his BA long hair was BOSS as usual :D

Seems like Enjin found himself some OPness at the end there XD Nxt ep seems a calm before the storm of the epic climax. Really loving this series a lot :D

The first Yozakura Quartet TV series was only a semi-adaptation - they kept a large number of scenes but completely changed the context and story.

Hana no Uta episodes 2-8 mostly reboot the story from the beginning, staying fairly close to the manga, but cutting out quite a bit due to time constraints.

The Hoshi no Umi OVA takes place between episodes 8 and 9 of Hana no Uta.

Hana no Uta episodes 9-10 focus on the aftermath of Hoshi no Umi, and a number of plot and character-progressing snippets the manga always throws in between major arcs. Episodes 11-13 will probably be the actual Hana no Uta arc.

Tsuki no Naku is the next major arc after Hana no Uta.

Zakuro so moe. I love how so matter of fact and yet not in your face about it panty shots are, Another okay first half with a pretty intense second half. So Juri-san is a descendant of Dr. Frankenstein. That explains the V and F.

It's 19 eps if you count the OVAs

Ep1-8 > Hoshi no Umi > 9 - end.


More correctly:

Ep1-8 > Hoshi no Umi > Ep 9-13 > Tsuki ni Naku

I had my dick out the entire episode. Holy shit the sound in this show is amazing. I also love how the fanservice isn't shitty like 95% of shows. This is definitely one of my favorites this season. It deserves more attention than it's getting. I guess I better watch the OVAs now.

Zakuro/Eiji "fight" was so much cooler in this compared to the manga, the animation company does it's best in the action sequences. for example, the faces of Hime's or Kotoha's (can't remember who's) classmates in this episode just looked... off.
actually this whole episode was much better than the manga versions, though none of the interlude chapters are really that great tbh, so they could've only improved them
it;s also good to see Eiji looking normal again(hopefully thos strange profile shots of him in earlier episodes will be fixed in the DVD/BD release)

the preview for ep 10 had scenes that looked like fresh into town teen Juri, so maybe they'll do a really short flashback, but i'm hoping for a 2/3 episode OAD for the arc, it is quite a good arc afterall

Squeezing 3 episodes of Hoshi no Umi OVA into one OP?!? Never think it is doable. That is more than what Rozen Maiden managed to do. At least I would give it credit to use the OVA OP to make it clear that the OP is about the OVA.

And this episode is damn full of fan-service. NURSE IS SO HOT !! FRANKENSTEIN !!!!
And we even know Kotoha does not wear it... Hmmm....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Thanks for the explanation! But now double your response the question arises: why have done only 12 episodes instead of making 24? At least not cut so many things! D:

Thank you! You have been very brief, I hasten to see the OVA! * _ *

Too bad! From what I've read and then spoilerato in the opening of the episode, the first of this episode, it was great and runs to the OVA. Plot that deserved a lot more episodes to give time and space to raise Yozakura Quartet after the first set a little bankruptcy, then why not do it? Good question! XD
The narration is great, fanservice and barrel together, no one can complain!
Graphically, however, has its flaws, the designs were not always great, the character design I have to admit, though that of the first series was nice, I really want this aribadire if well designed is cute! * _ *
Animations good! Even scenarios deserve more attention.

I was really confused in the beginning to what happened with that red haired girl. So the OP was action that took place in the past, right?

Anyway, beside that, it was a great episode. It's weird how the serie was so placed in the beginning and now everything is happening so fast...

Those ancient guy are op. But I guess Enjin will find a flaw in their technics.

Man, Kohime is really hard to wake up xD

The fighting was cool. I'm really curious about what Akina saw when Enjin showed him the other dimension.
