Reviews/Anime/Shuffle Memories

This is a short retelling of the original Shuffle! series. Each episode centers on one of the girls and tells of her relationship with our hero Rin. However, if you enjoyed the original series I don't recommend you watching this one.
If you have not seen the original this new series fails to develop the characters, both their lives and their feelings. For those that have seen the original, the action skips way out of sequence. Example: in the first episodes of the new series you see actions that take place in the last episodes of the old series. Only they aren't identified as such. Halfway through, Rin tells Asa that he loves her, but the following episodes have scenes from earlier episodes of the original. That was a main point of the old series. Now the new series continues by backtracking the action.
On the plus side there are a few added new scenes that would have enhanced the original, and the last episode is completely new but again oddly placed. Everyone is on a pure fan service cruise aboard God-sama's yacht in the god world. But the action is as if Rin has not confessed to Asa.
I had high hopes that this series would continue the story of the first, but those hopes were dashed.
