Wow, first off, loved the new ending. I liked the animation waaaay better than the ending for OVA1 and OVA2, and the song was also better. The backgrounds looked very pretty, with a musical motif. Shimako was the prettiest, Rei-sama as usual meh.
But who is the one to the right of Yumi, at the first scene? Yumi, Yoshino, .... and is that Noriko? Why?
And I agree the yuri level was upped, not just one, but two or three notches in the ending. Especially the one with Yumi and Sachiko.
I think I'll post my thoughts of the main episode later. I need to go back watching that ending
