Well, you can certainly restart with S1 after you've caught up with S2 (it would actually make more sense in some parts), but for someone to get into the show I definitely uphold my recommendation.
And sorry - compare the Hina birthday arc with episode 48 (which was undoubtedly a highlight of S1). Compared to the character development leading up to S2 eps 12/13, episode 48 is terribly shallow.
I dunno. S2 is in a totally different league.
