Preliminary (10/12 eps)
Let me start by saying I am a HUGE fan of Tantei Opera Milky Holmes season 1. The artwork was uber-cute, the story was usually nonsensical and hilarious, and I loved the characters! I don't think there has been an anime that has had me laugh so hard.

That being said, I was so happy to see there was a season 2, I started into it right away. The first couple of episodes seemed a little off but I didn't really take notice. A few episodes in and I noticed that I was not laughing once during an episode. My love for the first season pushed me through until episode 10, and I just couldn't take it anymore. This season has disgraced the first season, and left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

The characters' personalities all but disappeared, and they all had basically the same personality, which was: lazy, stupid, silly, annoying. The story was non-existent and seemed like they were making it up as they animated it. Episode 10 was about the pig-man gaining super powers and sucking the lard out of everyone. He had lard power or something and I couldn't even finish the episode.

I don't know what happened. The writers of the first season must have all been fired and replaced or something, idk. The art was still adorable, I'll give 'em that, but it can only do so much. Anyway, I'm done ranting now.

I would honestly caution any fan of the first season not to watch season 2. They are nothing close to similar and watching season 2 left me with a bad taste in my mouth, and it will be harder to enjoy season 1 again.

P.S.-The OP is actually wonderful.
