It has been quite awhile since I have enjoyed a well made Mech anime. Season 2 of this anime has some twisted moments but all in all, the plot was developed nicely. Some might say that episode 1's revival of the main cast is bullshit. If you just call it plot armour that like 99.9% of anime out there have, you can deal with it better.

-------Story-------
The plot of this season was somewhat twisted. Slaine took a 180 degree turn and became the main antagonist for a reason that is deep and shall not be spoiled by me. There are as much moments of frustration when you wished something to happen and it took a left turn and crashed down the chasm. Most of the plot devices are somewhat explained in this season though. The ending was one of the best and most complete ending I have ever seen for awhile.

--------Art---------
The animation used in battles was phenomenal. Each battle scene would take your breath away and when you thought its the end, the final battle between Slaine and Inaho is even better. Definitely worth watching just for the battle scenes. You wont see another mech battle with such amazing animation anytime soon.

-------Sound-------
What? There is music? Basically it blends so nicely and emphasises each scenes to bring out its excitement that I dont even notice its there.

-------Character-------
Most of the characters are more or less well developed. Some of the Counts seem to not have any back story or just a one episode description of their story.

Slaine's character... You can call him the typical "Twisted" antagonist where he do something thinking he was right and at the final turn, crushed by his most important friend saying something that turns him completely. Only thing is, the twisted part is REALLY twisted.

--------Overall---------
Go watch it. You may end it at season 1's ending and call it quits. Its a good ending. But Season 2's ending is better. If I was to judge, Season 2 has weaker characters but stronger plot. Well. Stronger in the sense of the ending.
