@scineram I doubt that in 2018 there was no Internet and no corresponding opportunity to find out. Also, I don’t know why the second season was more hyped, but I liked the show even during the first season. I didn't jump on the hype train.

@RobertBobert we had no way to know that in 2018. Especially with the game getting delayed and being in limbo for 2 years. Also none of us expected the second season to be historic.

This is one of the most popular gacha franchises, though primarily in Japan.

The highlight will be that little mad gremlin, Kaori Maeda. But those new cast is probably people who just arrive in this project.

Satono Crown&Cheval Grand are already exist in the mobile game for a long time although they are new to the anime
Quite Sad that Duramente, a important rival of Kitasan Black in the classic year, is still unavailable due to the permission issues……

Was waiting for further information on it, can't wait to watch Kitasan Black's and Satono Diamond's story. Hopefully it will be similarly emotional to season 2.
