My first ever review, but anytime this series comes to my sight, i feel like i have to share my opinion bout it. The 1st season was my first "omfg" anime series ever, with Makishima Shogo being my first and till, last "manlove" anime character. (Kogami was the "aaah he is so coool kawaii" guy that was put in for the girls to dream about.) With his death, and without his presence the story lost its half, or even more than its half; and they give us one more season, i was happy at first too, trying to clone Makishima in the person of, ... Kamui?, and trying to force on us the same "magic" that Makishima had without him doing anything, but the other characters praising/ glorifying him to the point that it just became awkward. This is the main idea(the problem if the series) i would like to share with my review, i don't know if its understandable; Makishima himself built up his charisma slowly, step by step with every episode, they even had a talk with prof Saiga about the phenomena. He was a well built character supported with philosophy, art and literature just enough and not to much; personally he made me read more books than any of my school teachers(sadly). On the other hand Kamui did nothing the whole story, and the studio (tried) forced surrounding characters to build him up, with the only interesting, philosophical idea of the "omnipotent", which could have been settled in one episode. So in my opinion, as i look at the series, the second season is one empty bundle, to satisfy our superficial needs.
