The premise is cool but I'm just not sure if I like where the mangaka takes it.
The first 3 or so episodes are anime original because they don't want to cover the same stuff the first series loosely did. The first episode itself very strongly mirrors the first chapter of the manga by presenting most of the same points that it did (plus more) while being different enough to not feel like retreading. It should go back to the manga's storyline after that, though I have no idea what they're going to do with Hoshi no Umi since dark Zakuro is in the OP and they already did that story in the OAD.
