I kinda like this season, but there's also some reason not to like it.
The story picks up where season 1 left off, and it starts off with a fight right away and it's hype. In the beginning, it kinda took its time to set the season, but then it started falling off halfway because the pacing got really fast and then things started happening for the sake of moving the plot, then more characters got introduced and there are a lot more people involved now, the stakes are high which is pretty lit. One thing that is still here that made me annoy the fuck
...
out of me during season one was the comedy, again it's okay if you do it when it's just the characters bantering and shit, but it annoys me when you do it during serious scenes, if else, then i can't take the story seriously. Then we had some plot twists happening which i really liked, that kinda got me interested in the story.
I really like the animation for this season, by like, i mean a lot, because there's a big step up in the animation, i mean this is years after season 1 was made and the technology for animating became a lot better, so wouldn't be weird if the animation was still the same as season 1? There's a slight difference in the character designs as well, i almost couldn't recognize lenalee because her design looks so much different than season 1. We got new types of monsters too.
In the beginning, i didn't really notice it until Bookman spoke and i was like "Wait... that's not your VA, that's jiraiya's VA" and then it suddenly unveiled the curtain for other characters and i started hearing the differences in their voices and i was like "Oh wait! New voice actors!?!?" but props to some of them because they kinda sound similar, so it wasn't really off putting that much.
Overall, this season was okay for me, because it's a full pack of action and twists and turns, but with just a bad pacing. I'm just happy because this is the tone and vibe that I was looking for in season 1.

Oh my god, if it wasn't for this being part of my childhood, I wouldn't have bothered finishing it, I think I would've legit dropped it.
The first 5-10 episodes or so were hype, I really like the vibe and what it's trying to tell and show us, but oh my god, the following episodes after that up until episode 50ish were some endless rollercoaster filler ride. I was watching, right? and then thought to myself "When will the story start picking up?" because every episode is just the same formula, they go to a new place, new side characters get introduced and ooohhh suddenly there's
...
akuma in this town and then end of the episode. Soooo BORING! although every now and then, new exorcists get introduced, but still... you didn't need to drag the shit out of this because it got repetitive over time, and then when i finally got to around episode 60, finally! the story started moving and it got a little bit interesting. I don't think i even remember the first 50 episodes of this show, i think i can even recite to you the 2nd half scene by scene because that's where the real shit starts to happen. This anime could've been shortened if you cut out the fluffy parts.
Again, the story... HYPE! but it had some flaws. What i also didn't like is that, it's trying so hard to be comedy, like wtf? Light comedy would've been fine, but it's really trying to imitate that goofiness that you see in one piece, but it just doesn't check out to me at all, because of the contrast of the story being dark and cruel. Also, how can you take this seriously when the show itself doesn't take itself seriously too, because it kept inserting funny moments in serious scenes, even the enemy doesn't feel scary and intimidating at all because of how comedic they are at times.
The characters, most of them didn't even catch my attention at all, no one is interesting because there's not much character exploration that happened at all, so it's hard for me to get invested in any of these characters. I think the only character that really piqued my interest was Marshall Tiedoll, i found him quite interesting, he has some emotional sides to him and his power is so badass. Lavi was that one character that i kept remembering in my head since my childhood because i find his powers amazing, but watching this now, i don't even know what to say and he kept using the same attack as well, we see his hammer having a lot of magic circles, but he still uses the same fire attack, like come on.
The animation really shows how old this anime, it's not that bad, it is pretty decent, so if you're looking for amazing sakuga, you won't find it here. The character designs are lit, it's very gothic, the way the world in here was drawn feels pretty same, they made every country look pretty much the same, except for asian countries and maybe some other well known western ones.

I'm making this review after my 2nd reading of this title.
The story i don't know how they did it, it's fast paced, but in a good way, i think it's got to do with the number of plots, there's not a lot of side plots in this manhwa, they're mostly focused on the mc only, i think that's probably why this is an easy read. I remember when I first read this, it was about when it started getting the hype and i planned to only check out 10 chapters, but i managed to read 100 chapters in one night and when i reread this
...
because the epilogue is finally done, i finished it in the span of 4 days, if not for my fever i could've done it in 2 at max. It is still really enjoyable even from re-reading it and going back from the beginning as if I'm re-discovering it again.
There's nothing new or innovative to this series, but somehow it works and it's really popping off, they just did what they had to do and stuck the landing. My problem is that, when we got to the last arc, i think things started getting really fast paced, i think for me this series is too short, this could've made it to at least the size of the big 3, there's a lot of interesting things that were introduced in this world, but i think they just brushed it off, because they only want to focus on the Main Character only, especially in the side characters side and the guild, but they just crammed it all in the last arc, which was really disappointing for me.
The art still holds up to this day, it is one of the most well done manhwa series out there.
The epilogue i think that was really unnecessary, especially since the original artist is dead, the idea was really good, but you can tell the vibe is not there anymore, there's even a difference in art style and sometimes it's not consistent.
Overall, it's still a goated title, i would still probably reread this again in the future since it's really really good.

I think im one of those, who's hype got killed off because it got chopped into pieces and scattered the release all over. But yeah... nonetheless it was still a good part and a good ending, pretty much the same in the manga. The moment i finished it i felt nothing, like 'ehhh it was aight'.
During the part where they were explaining some shit even though the enemy was already defeated, i think it was a snooze fest for me. I think i almost wanted to watch the Final Season Part 3 Episode 2 in 1.5 speed, but i manage to stick around with it
...
since its going finally going to be over.
Though we like to clown on mappa using cgi all over the series when it got transfered to them. You cannot ignore that the story is soo good that you're pretty much gonna ignore it and focus on the story only, it's very immersive....
Goated series, i will always recommend this as a starter anime for anybody who want's to get into anime.

Already, in the beginning it started off spicy, i see you what you doin writer... but i don't know...
As i kept reading like the first 10-20 chapters was okay, but it started falling off from thereon. I can't really pinpoint what got me bored reading this, but my god!! Can we just appreciate how good the artstyle was?!?? As much as how good the art was, it didn't compensate for how badly this was written.
The character designs were nice, they are all pretty, but are all badly written, well not badly like more on boringly written, they don't interest me (in my opinion) I think
...
the pink haired girl was passable since they've explained it during the backstory.
Also, another thing i noticed, like the world is too empty. If you look at some of the chapters when the characters are in the classroom, there's no other people being drawn or even when the characters are walking outside. Is the artist lazy?? They would show some crowd, but only when interaction needed to have other people there to be present.
And then around the laters chapters it started getting fast paced.. yata yata.. then ending.

I really liked the idea and the concept, but i think the story was rushed, there were some few quiet moments here and there, but it's not really enough for you to get invested, and there's soo much plot convenience.
I just kept reading because again the premise is really interesting and i was curious how they would progress the relationship between the mc and the antagonist, and the fight scenes also hype, tho they were short, some were decently long.
The character deaths were meh, the author were using death as if it's a normal wednesday.
They could've stretched this to at least 100-200 chapters, if they
...
properly fleshed out the story, proper world building and explained some things meticulously, considering they have 5 power levels. I was waiting for the explaination origin of the powers and though they did explain it, but it was not enough as is was too short, like they explained in with a few sentences, then used some scientific words and expected you to understand it right away.
