The improvements are definitely noticeable, though they're not always an improvement. On the whole the opening looks better than it did before however they added a rather unnatural cut into the frame where lord Lord Mask shows up about halfway through which doesn't look so great and the ending part where Iska and Alice's backs go against each other is oddly timed and looks sluggish, but otherwise it's a decent improvement.

The episode though is another matter, they've added some shading and lighting throughout the whole thing which looks, fine for the most part, but the episode seems to look a bit more overly bloomy and a little more washed out than it did before, which on the whole isn't the greatest improvement. The improvement to the art and animation throughout the episode is there though they are minor on this one.

I'm more interested in seeing next weeks episode 2, as that one had FAR more issues than episode 1 did, face shapes were going wonky and changing every frame and they were basically sliding characters across the screen at times due to I assume time constraints. This episode's not bad but not the most noticeable improvement and definitely has a couple changes that might detract slightly, crossing fingers we see something good compared to the "original" broadcast next week.

I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life.

My god I FINALLY found the new episode 1 πŸ€―πŸ™ŒπŸ» I don’t have CrunchyRoll, so I was looking every online trying to compare all the animations and finally found it. My god that is so noticeable. Sisbell’s eyes are orange now instead of pink. The character outlines are lighter too.

Finally, one more time I guess… my 14th and FINAL SUMMER 2024 anime has restarted! πŸ€£πŸ™ŒπŸ» 8 months later. And this is the 12th and final Spring 2025 anime to start for me πŸ™πŸ» season is fully underway for me now. Wow, man. I was very bummed out when this anime got postponed back in August last year. I actually really love this anime. Season 1 was awesome when I watched it back in Summer 2021. The animation quality for the first run of this last year was indeed terrible. Not CGI terrible like the first half of Failure Frame, but you know what I mean 🀣 more like a classic 2000s anime animation quality. Their faces and eyes especially, so awkward. So happy this is back!

Great Seiyuus in here! Alice is voiced by Amamiya Sora who also voiced Aqua from KonoSuba. Iska is voiced by Yuusuke Kobayashi who voices a plethora of Isekai MCs.

I forgot how much oppai fanservice was in this first episode πŸ€£πŸ‘ŒπŸ» sheesh

7:30 Alice lying through her teeth here and Rin is just staring at her in disbelief 🀣 priceless

I also forgot how uptight and serious Jhin is πŸ˜‚ chill dude

11:35 Alice going off on a tangent about date plans with Iska 🀣

12:18 Sisbell clinging to Iska πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

13:55 Jealous harem moment πŸ€­πŸ™ŒπŸ»

17:48 poor Rin 🀣 Alice always abusing her

And of course, as always. Iska and Alice magically bump Into each at the end and are in sync with their orders πŸ€£πŸ™ŒπŸ»

One last thing. THAT OP! πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ”₯ YES! MY GOD THE ANIMATION IS SO BEAUTIFUL NOW HOLY CRAP πŸ€£πŸ™ŒπŸ» night and day difference man. I just watched both the old OP and this new OP together at the same time. I LOVE this OP. I learned the FULL lyrics to it already back in Summer 2024, so I am already prepared to sing along every episode. Guaranteed one song I like this season, but I already like 4 other OP/ED themes this season anyway, so it just makes it all the more better! “Senaka Awase” - Alia! Let’s go!

I made a quick comparison of few scenes and I'm not sure how to feel about this:
Slowpoke Pics Comparison
There's certainly a different color palette, not sure which one I like better yet, but what bothers me is that characters are blending into the backgrounds way more with how the contrast between characters and background is now smaller. Well at least they're fixing some issues as well, I can also see the opening was remade a bit, as animation sequences differ a bit, but it looks a bit better now.

The near year-long wait for the rebroadcast of KimiSen S2 definitely is better than what came out last Summer in terms of production (as is Crunchyroll fixing the episodes with their "better quality" Version 2.0 look).

But more than just color swaps, it's the same show for the majority of the part, albeit with little differences shadowed for the better.

The character design is way worse than the previous season, it felt more generic and forgotable if compared with season 1.
