Compared to the first season there were less jokes. Now besides Yozora and Sena, Rika enters the spotlight to compete for Kodakas affection. It's a full makeover and transformed from a nerdy labcoat scientist to a cute girl and now looks just like the others. It's nice to look at but takes personality out of her.
She doesn't look special anymore, just another cutie that wouldn't stand out if it were only for the looks.
Maria and Kobata lost a bit of screen time but I'm ok with this as they're only the supporting characters and too young to play a meaningful role in this love triangle/square or should I even say pentagon.
The Arguments between Sena and Yozura are not that one sided anymore. It became like a 60-40 or 70-30 ratio in favor of Yozura. Before it was like 99% chance that Sena would be running out crying. It was important for me to point out the change because it really annoyed me in season 1.
It took aeons until we finally could see more relationship development between Yozora, Sena and Kodaka. Im not sure how I should rate Kodakas passiveness towards relations. Maybe he's so passive for the same reason as Yozora, in order to prevent hurt when the bond is broken, but then he should at least feel something for Yozora but this guy... We ll probably find out in season 3.
For me it still lacks the depth I wanted to see between those 3. The last episodes also tend to let you root for Sena because she gets all these special relations with Kodaka while Yozora gets left out and Rika isn't even worth mentioning cause she's way out of the competing range.
Kodaka "was no protagonist " until the very end of season2 but everything revolves around his perspective. Another Yozora point of view episode would
nicely fit in as the first episode of season 3 or a Sena POV for a change.
We dont really get into her mind and feelings at all.

The Creators really let us suffer on their hook. When will this guy finally open himself up. Obviously in season 3. But you can't wait 3 seasons for that.
There should have been a glimmer of hope to see reactions in either Sena or Yozoras direction.
