the 2013 anime would have probably been more popular if they hadn't decided to shove the entire first arc of the manga into the first episode, making it near impossible to follow if you were coming in as a new fan or even someone who'd only watched the old anime

i'm still holding out hope that yen press or someone will re-release the manga, though (including the tales)

That, and the fact that so many websites listed it as "season 3" when it wasn't a sequel to the first anime at all, which undoubtedly confused and frustrated those who've only seen the first one. I saw many comments asking things like "why doesn't Suigintou despise Shinku as much?" and "Suigintou would never willingly take a Medium", not realizing that this anime doesn't follow the first one's continuity.

I hope so, too, because the fan translations range from "decent" to "god-awful." I'm not fluent in Japanese, but I know enough to know that whoever translated a good chunk of the Tales chapters did a poor job. This is a series that could really use an official translation. Since the 2013 anime is getting released on DVD/Blu-ray this summer by Sentai Filmworks, there might be a chance that a company will license the Tales chapters at the very least.
