Like I said earlier, the first half was the standard, but the second half was very good. It all starts with Natsumi getting an invitation to join a police special forces group. This made all the her co-workers/friends, esp. Miyuki really question how each other are part of this group. Even Ken started having doubts about himself because of a situation with Miyuki. Even the ending strengthens the characters with each other.
I do enjoy this series because they characters are adults instead of being there as comic relief for junior high/high school students. We adults have problems also.
So to break it down:
Story - 8: I had to give it an 8. The average of the first half and second half.
Art - 7: This will never be as good as the details from the OVAs of the first season. The artwork did take a hit. I wish more time was given to make the characters and scenes look better at times.
Sound - 7: Felt overpowered by the background sound. I do miss the sounds of the motors that Fujishima puts into his creations.
Characters - 9: All were great! We got to see more of everyone, including the rookie Saori and Nakajima's dad and step-mom.
Enjoyment - 9: Of course. Just seeing an adult cast in a slice-of-life series was worth it.
Overall - 8: It had it's weaknesses and strengths. You will enjoy this a bit more if you enjoyed season 1.
