I wrote this, from watching the first season, to watching this season up until episode 10, hopefully you did the same, but actually finished this season.
If you want an actual review with the reviewer actually watching all of it (12/12 ep.) then feel free to skip this. For those of you who actually take the time to read this, thank you.
Story 5/10 (Well let's just dive right into it~)
I simply just did not like the story plot in this season, at all. First they tell you where they are and why they are there, sort of, but I don't understand the sudden, weird, awkward switch of settings from season 1, for I liked the school life... Anyways, probably the biggest reasons why I found Freezing Vibrations story to be so, "meeehhhhh" is simple. (spoiler) They somehow found a way to sort of forcefully bring Satellizer's past back into this season. Whiiich I wouldn't have minded, if not for the, smooth yet very, very, very awkward transition into it. What I mean by that is, you're going to just let the lead characters go off into their own world, right in the middle of the story??? That honestly just blew my mind, plus I felt like Satellizer's past was rushed and not thought of carefully. Okay, I'm probably being a bit rough on this, (already...) but don't get me wrong I did enjoy watching the tidbits of good story to Freezing. If they would have made the characters face the actual problems at hand, and not have so many little side details that didn't matter come up and in the way, the story would have been much, much better.
Art 6/10
I'm not usually too knit-picky when it comes to art, but Freezing doesn't come up to par with some of the other anime from it's year/years. Overall standard animation.
Sound 6/10
For sound, I'm usually not to picky either. There are a few points I'm looking for, a nice opening/s and ending/s. If the anime doesn't have these I don't mind, but if I hear the same ost for a few scenes over I do get a bit annoyed. Freezing did fine when it came to that. Also, the voice acting was quite, "OK" I liked the sound of their voices a majority of the time.
Character 3/10
"Why such a low score for this!?!?" Is what a friend of mine said, and here is what I had to say. In Freezing Vibration, they spent FAR too much time on the small, supporting, never to be seen again characters. I would have liked to see some more character development on the characters from season 1, you know the ones who won't die off. And I do say that the main Heroines, did get some attention, but honestly it's not the type of attention I wanted. When the characters "grew" closer together, I just felt super awkward, like AWKOTACO awkward. Satellizer is the main bad-ass in this series, I just felt like she got weak, (spoiler, she did) and seeing a main heroine go bipolar all over the place is sort of distorting.
The overall fighting was pretty good, I get a bit confused on what they are saying from time to time, but the individual characters are good at stating the facts about themselves and the current battle situation.
The characters, to me just... They felt so one-sided, not fake but on the verge of just being to predictable. Even if the main characters did get more time, I feel like it would be for nothing, since from the start, they were sort of brought up, only to just "be there."
Enjoyment 4/10
It's not like I didn't enjoy Freezing Vibration, it's just that saying, "I like this season!" Is too far fetched. Granted the clothes randomly ripping did make me laugh out loud from time to time, but less of that and more on things that actually mattered would have been great. I mean especially since they want you to sort of take this series seriously, but how can you and I take a battle serious when we see boobies everywhere? My enjoyment for this season would have been higher if the plot and the character's weren't so predictable, cliche and awkward. Seeing on how I just randomly dropped this on episode 10. Probably means that I just lost all interest in it. Honestly I'm being a bit nice on this end. The only thing that kept me going stronk, was Satellizer.
Final Verdict 4.
I don't really recommend this to anyone, unless you're into ecchi and just want to watch a bunch of girls fight. From the first season to the second (this one) season there was a huge drop of detail and work done on the story and the characters. Not a horrendous watch, but plenty out there that can fill this ones place.
