Bear in mind that I watched this anime right after binging the first season, I did not watch the first season right when it came out 10 years ago. I will also be comparing this to the first season (which I would give a 9)
Honestly it is very saddening to me what they did with the pacing and general episode structure. It follows the style of character episodes where each character gets their own episode. The difference is now it is much more apparent and "in your face" about it. On a character episode, most of the other characters are just removed from the episode
...
they might as well not exist. This is very contrasting to the first season where they would still have other characters be part of the episode, albeit only a small part. Fire emblem and sky high just did not exist other than in their own episode. I understand that this is mostly to build up the new heroes, but they really did not have to remove the old ones from the equation.
The second main letdown is how they show the overarching story and main villain of the season. The first season did this very well by organically incorporating them into the character episodes, while in this season they just shoehorn it into the episode which felt really cheap. There are a couple of mentions about them, but it didn't help after them just blatantly shoving it every episode. I know that comparing it to the first season might be unfair since the villains were related to the main characters and it might have been easier to implement the villains organically into the story, but this was what I was thinking all the time while watching this.
3rd point is just the villains weren't very interesting, not much else to say
4th is very bad logistics... the 1st season actually also has very very bad logistic, but it was consistently bad, and actually felt like a charm of the anime. Meanwhile this season just felt too much deus ex machina. The first season was filled with deus ex machina, but it's very consistent that somehow it really feels proper, while this one was not the same...
Honestly am very disappointed, I wouldn't advise to watching it
