The story is rushed quite a bit, the second episode, is basically a clip real going through all the time loops to piece everything together in a matter of minutes, something that should have been given an entire two parter by itself. A mistake that they made was introducing some new elements like Aoba being a senpai so a new pilot and new coupling system. You only have two episodes, finish what you started people.
And there is one thing that was present in the first series that struck me even more here is the body count. A LOT of people die and good guys bad guys, Aoba and his crew killing people, and in my opinion not enough attention is put on that. Aoba is a kid straight out of highschool, he should be struggling with the fact that he kills people on a consistent basis. There is a part in this were half the fleet and an entire base in obliterated and all they do is gasp. That was almost 1000 people that just died. But they ignore it, which bothers me, but i still like the show despite it.
I liked it just because i like Buddy Complex and i liked seeing the characters again, but overall it's pretty meh with a hint of disappointment. In the end it's a kind of special that you just gotta watch to get a bit of closure.
