Season 2 made a significant leap with its soundtrack. There music is brilliant! The storyline is still unexciting though.
The number one complaint from critics is that boobs are present. Let me tell you something. There isn't a single moment boobs are present without being accompanied by action or emotional character thought/development. Therefore, no sacrifices are made to squeeze in fanservice like other series tend to do. That aside, the story here had potential. The problem is the students spend a ton of time fighting amongst themselves rather than directing their power to the true enemy. Because of this I found myself feeling like I couldn't really root for the "good guys" due to them all being incredibly ignorant assholes. But they aren't just assholes. They are really savage about it and fuck each other up pretty bad. This really made the story suffer.
If it weren't for the storyline flaw, this anime would be supreme. The art and lighting is incredible. They do a great job at creating a realistic atmosphere to pull you into their situations. The battles are extremely intense and brutal. The emotional experiences are much stronger than most series as well. You'll find yourself tearing up a lot. There is a good variety of characters, but some go underdeveloped so you don't appreciate them as much. All in all, Freezing is an excellent anime.
