This is my first ever review and with that in mind, at first, when I watched the second season, I didn't really understand what the discontent and fuss was about. Even the most plebbiest among plebs had the same answer, and they had the propensity to watch hideous and repetitive filth across other mediums.

But despite that gentlemen, I have made sure to recommend it to those around me, weebs and non weebs alike. Specifically the ones I hate to the core. The ones I'd want to suffer in the deepest pits of hell.

The animation was nothing short of breath taking at certain points and ... the first few episodes were captivating to not say the least. But as you get into the first episode, you already get signs of lazy animation with and still frames. That should not really be an issue. The plot and music was fine, everything was tied together. The theme eventually turned out to be in very clear contrast to what we were shown in the first season. The element of shock, horror and surprise which got us hooked and wanting more, were all killed. Episode by episode.

The progression was so exponential without character development that the whole lore fell out of place. Characters such as Ray and Emma became absolutely sidelined and meaningless to the progression. Its as if they were just there for the sake of being there. We never really got to see ANYTHING of these characters, as though the entire cast was just fodder to play out a narrative to hype up Norman actual development by Norman. There was only an episode worth of discourse between the moral dichotomy of whether "demons" deserving of mercy or wrath, and all that too, without any sort of polarised internal conflict with genuine sacrifice.

However, even the prospects of Norman being a fascinating character was killed in a single episode in just a single interaction. The torture and sufferings of Norman at the Lambda facility became meaningless and the research, moot. There was so much potential to portray a great story if studio clockwork had the plans to make an anime original but every single aspect was botched.

The grand finale unfolded as a masterclass in horror – not in the intended sense, but in subjecting the audience to cringe-worthy mediocrity. A third of the episode felt like a cruel joke, with still frames dominating the screen, as if the creators had outsourced the animation to an intern armed with PowerPoint. The forced "plot twists" in the farm, involving James Ratri, were so ludicrously contrived that one wonders if the author has ever encountered a military strategy beyond a passing glance at Code Geass. Perhaps the studio aspired to birth a new genre – a monument to incompetence that could serve as prime content for YouTube cringe reactors.
