witch from mercury season 2 is both a lot a fun, with points surpassing season 1. but it also has a couple issues in my opinion, meaning i think it averages around the same as season 1.
the characters are still very engaging to keep up with. the plot season 2 helps further show hoe much these characters have grown since episode 1 and before. there wasn't a character i disliked in season 1 (from a writing standpoint), but season 2 made these characters feel more real than ever.
the action scenes are generally either on par or better than the action from season 1. putting so
...
much on the line and putting these characters through troubles can help show new sides to both them and the people surrounding them. gundams feel powerful. this is my first gundam show, but the strain characters get put under just to pilot a gundam show how much power is in those mobile suits.
the universe feels more fleshed out as the plot continues. with unexplained mysteries being resolved just in time to try and keep the viewer knowledgeable, while having them question even more. one explanation in particular made me feel the exact same as the character hearing it. that is a testament to the highs of this shows writing.
however, the writing isn't perfect. things feel to worsen the closer to the end. the last 2 episodes specifically have me confused on certain aspects. the motives make sense, but some logic just doesn't click with me. especially the way conflict is dealt with at the end (trying to tip toe around what specifically). it makes me feel like I'm supposed to guess the intention of the writers, and come up with a cohesive explanation for them.
overall, witch from mercury was a great show, with season 2 expanding on aspects more than i expected. but by doing so and leaving other aspects more neglected, i cant help but wish some things were handled better. i'd say its still a fun watch, especially if you enjoyed season 1!
