There isn't really much to talk about since there's only three episodes avilable right now, but there is definitely something else that we see in this series that was not seen as evidently in the previous series (as of my opinion)
As the Hakuouki series generally takes on a rather serious story line and setting, it's not the best anime to watch to pass time when compared to some light comedy, but it's definitely a must watch. This is the prequel of the previous Hakuouki series, it gives a thorough explanation on how the members of shinsengumi (I hope i spelt it right...) came to rise up to their current position. It doesn't really matter whether you watch this one first or the older ones first, because although the characters are connecting and the story is revolving around the same concept, it could be watched separately.
As i've mentioned before, to me, this series took on something that was more subtly shown in the previous. And this to me, was another perspective of pride. As these warriors view their warrior spirite and pride very heavly, they understand times to take it back a little and calmly wait for the best time to strick. In the previous serise, there's much more of a physicaly fight, but this time, there are physiological subversion to go through. Here in this series, we take a much closer look at the forming of the characterisation of the main characters, and we see their development and growth.
I really have to say, i never really like the girls in most animes, and i didn't really like the main female character in Hakuouki either,she is too femiinine for me to like, and as to have see, i believe another female character has been introduced in episode three, and i believe that she may be the female lead, because she appeared in the starting song, but lets hope that her characterisation is better than the last.
And so lastly, HAVE FUN WATCHING^^
