This review will be biased because I'm a huge lover of crime anime and with seemingly so few out there it feels great to have one easily accessible on Netflix. However, that doesn't excuse the major plot-holes and the extremely disappointing ending.
Story: 6/10
Yes I'm being generous but hey, there's a lot of good ideas here. The overall premise captures the mystery of the mask and the mask's abilities quite well. In this season I enjoyed the addition of Tina's story as well as her budding friendship with James. And if they had actually concluded the setup of the Special Service of Crime (SSC) versus the

I had high hopes for season 2, was looking forward to all the unanswered questions presented in season 1, but this was a huge letdown!
Since there are no episode discussions for this season, I will use this review to relieve my frustrations.. sorry.. SPOILER WARNING!!! First of all, I was really excited for Harry's story and why he turned against SSC. Initially he was helping Connor in order to obtain a mask and save his girlfriend, but they never show what actually happened to her.. how she got sick? and why on earth did Harry leave SSC in the first place and became their enemy?

This review is for Season 2 only, since MyAnimeList lists them separately.
*No Spoilers* Summary: This season has an interesting plot that helps to piece together the unexplained parts of Season 1, although there are still many plot holes.

Hero Mask season 2.
At least the thing we can say is that it follows season 1. In the good and the bad. It's the same quality. I only watched season 2 because I watched the first, and honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this season. I followed all of this without really wanting to, which makes my rating dishonest. Given that it is the same quality as the first season, I give the same rating. At least we are entitled to some answers, but not all, which is a shame. Everything is rushed, and some things are forgotten. I had the impression that Netflix wanted to get ... |
