Mixed Feelings
When i first watched freezing's first season, i was really hooked for see what are going to happen next, it somehow attached me, probably i was wishing for more events involving satellizer, kazuya and rana, since they are funny to watch and in the first show. After the announcement of Freezing vibration, i was kinda happy to see what is that about and expectating new things and also new interesting events to happens just like few events in the first show. But after completing the series....i was very disappointed by how freezing vibration turned out. In other words, i can freely say that Freezing(2011) is superior than Freezing Vibration. I have a lot of things to say in this review and about this anime so lets start to the point shall we?

Story: 4/10
Lets start with the weakiest part of the show that are the story. It happens some time later after the first season. Chevalier concluded that most of the Nova assaults are causing many loss of pandoras that they can even produce. For fix this, a certain project starts called E-Pandora(Evolution Padora), that consists in giving powers to normal humans in order to turn them into pandoras aswell. In order to help with experiences and developing the E-pandoras, most of the pandoras around the world is invited to come to the alaska in the base of the project for help. Satellizer, Kazuya and Lana aswell are invited for it but they soon manage to discover some secrets of the e-pandora's project as they lives some dark events around it. Well....about the story....it have decreased a lot in terms of enjoyment. The first season was building a good plot with a gripping atmosphere and certain interesting events that the second season could have turned it better but the e-pandora arc is not really interesting. Few episodes saved the anime for being bad but yet the story doesn't really impressed me. I have see a lot of animes with that nakama feeling with emotional themes that had sucess in transmit it just like One piece, fairy tail(but i think FT just overruse it that nakama thing) and etc. I have feeling that freezing vibration tried to do that, showing about how much of the e-pandoras cares about theirselves and her friends, but for be sincerity, in the sad scenes, i don't feel sorry for them because i didn't find they interesting in point of having me locked into them(i will explain more about it in the character section).The Fights are not so good as the first season, they are somehow rushed and skipped a lot for show other scenes, something that really disappointed me since freezing had some good fights before, i was expectating to see more good fights in this season aswell but i couldn't see, there are some fights involving pandoras but they are not interesting to see, you will just see and wish it for end quickly for how boring it is. In the first season, it was good to see pandoras fighting against novas and how epic were the effects during the fight scenes, but this second season don't have any fight involving novas(only more near of the end but i can't tell since it would be spoiler) but is very quickly, decreasing the excitment. Other thing i want to make sure is i readed freezing manga and i already saw how the e-pandora arc is in the manga and i can say...is so much better and amazing than the anime. Its somehow more deep and dark with a lot of interesting contents and more explained things. In other words, i can say in the story, Freezing vibration had a mediocre adaptation, with a lot of unexplained things and skipped information that decreased the story in point of becoming a lot of uniteresting and boring. As i said before, few episodes saved the anime like episode 6-7 and the last 2 episodes that turned the anime slighty interesting, yet the story is still awful duo the bad adaptation, becoming unmotivating to keep watch.

Art: 7/10
Nothing to say about it, is the same animation since Freezing 2011, with some few changes in the visuals and effects. New changes would increases the quality of the anime but meh is still a good animation.

Sound: 6/10
The sound decreased it a little in terms of OP and ED, is not really memorable, those are OK OP and ED, you will just hear but won't remember or feel like hearing it again. Yet the Orchestral and Piano OSTs of Freezing vibration are still so epic to hear.

Character: 5/10
In terms of character, i have to say that is slighty better than the original Freezing. Now there is more characters that somehow fits with the story and the events around it or got more attention than the first season like roxanne, ticy, cassie, chiffon, Elizabeth, Amelia and etc. They are eh...OK characters, not exactly memorable, they are like just for fit their hole in the anime, not like will make any change to the story, there few ones that really will change everything in the story or how the things will go. Satellizer, Kazuya and Rana are back, they are exactly the same, won't change anything, but Satellizer gets a little more of development, becoming a slighty better character but yet i really don't liked how OP satellizer be, i know she don't like giving up but we can give too much protagonism on her. Well, Duo the rushed adaptation, i will say a problem that appears aswell in Black Bullet. For a lot of content and information being skipped and unexplained, you won't know many things about the characters, in other words, in case of something happens with them, you won't really care for them because you think of them like just a support for help the protagonists and if they die, won't make difference. This is not a problem of the manga, and yes of the anime. A ongoing manga(with more than 30-50 chapters) cannot have only 13 episodes, because it will be very rushed and less enjoying. Characters that would be memorable, will be eh...good but not excitting characters that you will always remember. Nowdays animators think less information and more action makes something good. =/

Enjoyment: 5/10
The Ecchi/Fanservice decreased a little, giving some more focus in the story that still comes rushed and unexplained, turning it less excitting. i Didn't liked Freezing Vibration too much for having the same mistake as many animes around, bad adaptation. I was expectating more from it since i enjoyed the first season. A lot of things decreased principally the quality of anime in terms of story and sound that before were kinda good but it have fall.

Overall: 5/10
Freezing Vibration, for most mediocre it is, you have to watch or you won't catch to the story, and also you will do not understand anything if Freezing have future seasons. Is not really good as the first season and also not very enjoyable because the excitment have decreased for anime that don't bring anything new or something to lock us into the series.
Pros:
+Good Animation/Soundtracks
+Some Characters got their respective attention/They have good roles in the series.
+Amazing Visual Effects

Cons:
-Bland Rushed and Unexplained Story
-A lot of Skipped Informations
-Not All characters got developed
-Less Excitting Scenes
