----------------------------------------
I am very glad it finally comes out, I worked so hard on this it is very satisfying to see that our work came to fruition. Proud of the #ekip
The unknown attack is incoming, these mobile gates launcher are very scary weapons. These new neighbors have shady intentions and they can drill holes into the walls just like some kind of shrews, despicable animals.
I had Shinchi on the phone while watching TV, he was so moved, I understand him.
The ending was very good, the visuals were pretty innovative.

It seems like a new group is plotting something.

OP was ok.

The girl in the team in red uniform is not happy it seems.

Nakamura-san's character can sense enemy is coming.

The one who caught captive found a chance to run away when there's mission. Battle outside and inside.

lol @ main characters not speaking (just showing a bit). so there's cute versions at the end. (it seems like there's more, but it's region-locked :( https://twitter.com/Anime_W_Trigger/status/1347952410270916608)

ED is nice.

PV 3 Also released (region-locked)

Whoa that's a massive improvement. Not just the production values, but the pacing too. No random pauses to kill time, no redundant filler dialogue, etc.
I hope they can keep up this quality moving forward.

I liked that they decided to redo the parts they covered in ep 73. Voices sound good too; they all fit the characters (Except for Gatlin, feels a little off but not a huge issue).

Welp, I'm on board 5/5

Wow! Not only does it look good now, but it also actually moves. And it moves great! Not only is the show upgraded visually, directing and pacing are many times better than before too! The show got substantial upgrades on all fronts.

Nothing else to say except that I am excited to see the rest.

Very happy with the pacing, and the voice acting sounds just as good as the original. Few new soundtracks used that sound quite nice.
I really like them bringing the trion black mist from the manga instead of the weird data stream they had in the 1st season, it just fits a lot better.
OP might need a few more listens, but the ED is a banger.

Aaaand we are back! Feels good.
The hype really set in for me seeing all the squads get ready for battle.
They certanly didn't waste any time and we already get to see a large scale battle.
Jin trying to intercept them was pretty cool, hope we get to see more of him fighting.

All in all good episode.

Not really different from the first season in my opinion, it's basically ep 74 but well it's nice to see so much action when it's not for the class matches, I hope it will stay like that, sure that the pacing is better but it's probably because of the current events

Man almost five years of waiting but finally World Trigger is back. The animation quality was pretty good. I’m gonna have to listen more times the OP to like it but i think it was OK, ED was good. And man this have to be world record for number of different voice actors in a single episode, and the main cast didn’t even speak. The only complain I got is that I got a little bit lost with the plot, maybe a recap would have been good but nevertheless I’m gonna read the manga now.

It's been ages but I'm glad it's finally back.

Wow they've topped up the production quality by a lot. Visuals and animation were really good. Everything felt so smooth. New OP/ED were both pretty cool thou I like the OP more.

The battle has started and for now it's going well for both parties but it can go either way from here. Thou what concerns me is that Jin saw Tachikawa getting cut down. He's really strong so it's concerning that the enemy has stronger people than him.

I'm really hyped up for upcoming episodes. Hopefully TOEI will be consistent with the production quality.

Not a big fan of the show but I was really looking forward to this season as I like the anime quite a bit and this was a great way to start this season. A really nice build up episode which hypes you for upcoming episodes. Really excited to see Jin and Yuma kun kick ass.

Interesting that the old and iconic Toei Animation intro is being used for this, I thought for sure they'd use the newer one in the relatively recent One Piece episodes.

Anyways, this was a solid premiere episode to start things off with for Season 2. Action-heavy and fluid movements for the most bit, Toei Animation have clearly upped their standards for the show which is great to see.

Tachikawa-san in trouble? Oh, how very interesting indeed. Hopefully, Konami-senpai's assistance can avoid that. Nice to see nearly the whole cast back too, except for the 3 main characters lol.

Op and ED seem pretty cool too, especially the ED both visually and song-wise. Can't wait to see what's in store for us next!

Uff, digging the opening and ending.

I catched up recently so for me it's like it was never gone. Heat episode and I'm hyped for what's to come. World Trigger is the real deal.

I am not used to seeing world trigger with good production values, its a damn shame the show couldn't of looked like this dozens of episodes ago, but better late than never.

The pacing is also way improved, which makes me very happy that this season might actually cover some good ground in only 12 episodes.

This is a much faster-paced arc and by extension action. But the first series really dragged its feet in even the ranked battles to drag them out more. I expect the fights shown in this season to be much closer in pacing to how these are portrayed cause even the ranked fights had alot of actual fighting.

The visual improvements are definitely the most noticeable, quite an upgrade. It was also finely paced and exciting from the start, though I needed a bit of thinking to remember who some of the characters were. Surprisingly, the main trio didn't get to participate much in the first episode, but I didn't mind. Looking forward to seeing what will happen next. The opening song is not amazing, while the ending song is nice.

It's finally back and it's already good!

I liked how they do this recap-like first ep but with a more detailed, new scenes, and a new characters introduction one, so that we will remember what really happened on the previous episode.

And yes! I can already tell that the animation and visuals has improved greatly! I see no more CGI on that White Giant Trion Soldier, which is the only downside of this anime. What a great move, Toei. Thank you for all of this, really. I'm glad you're caring for this anime :')

The 2nd Tomorrow X Together band's anime OP after the great OP 12 of black clover. Already liked it and the ED too.

9/10 first impression for this one. I'm really glad it's worth the hype waiting. They improved almost the overall aspect of the anime. Looking forward for more!

Although the original comic was suspended due to the author's illness for a certain time, the sequel of the anime show has rolled out finally. The first episode had a highly concentrated story and a soundtrack with tense atmosphere, though OP and ED are kind of mediocre. The reason that the anime team didn't put any recapitulation should tell their confidence that the show still has high evaluation and hard-core fans.

I just finished World Trigger S1 today and watched S2 episode 1 straight afterwards so I could tell the difference immediately.

It's just a recap for now but the new scenes and animation is really exciting! I wonder how long it's going to be airing for bc I'll watch it for however long I can, this show was before its time with story writing and character development and was/is perfect imo (except for the filler arc and maybe Kuga not being the MC)!

The production values look great, much more fluid animation and a vast improvement over season 1. My memory of the events of S1 are pretty foggy but still it's nice to see the story continue. Also I'm glad we didn't randomly get the OP halfway through the episode lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Finally '21's starting to get a lot better with World Trigger season 2. Tamakoma and the Border squad are back. This show has to be the one with a whole lot of characters and cast in a single show. and each one of em is so well written. More of neighbor battles before the rank match. XD

It's pretty rad how the new opening does important scenes from the first season justice instead of give us a peak into what we can expect for this season. This episode was moving at a break neck pace which is nice to see considering it's a single cour season. Really hope the animation quality keeps up. The Nasu scenes were gorgeous in the manga and I've wanted to see them animated well for years.

That was so damn good. The sakuga and artwork are so improved it doesn't feel like world trigger in how good it is. Shit is moving along at a good pace and you can tell they're building this invasion well. Personally I thought the op was dope, maybe because of how hype I am for this season, and the ed was also nice. Really though that animation caught me off guard, was straight up shitting my self the whole episode.

So excited for this season
