Art--
The art style of the second season is of course the same as the first, however this season delivers a little bit clearer, fresher look. The first season featured heavier lines outlining the characters. However, in this season, each character, as well as the Titans, have much thinner and precise lines. Eren Jaeger's eyes are as beautiful as always.
Music--
While there are no completely new themes that I have heard of, (except for the opening and ending), this season features remixed version of the first season's OST. Many of these remixes are even better than the original versions.
Characters--
This season takes a deeper look into some of the supporting cast, such as Sasha, Connie, Reiner, Ymir ETC., while still keeping a good focus on the Shiganshina Trio. All of the characters are getting much more screen time and development than in the first season.
Story--
The story is following very close to the Manga so far, (as of Episode 7), which is delivering new mysteries, fight scenes, and of course, death. There are major plot twists coming up. The very first episode leaves you wanting more, and every episode thereafter.
THE BAD:
Pacing--
The first season had an issue with pacing, making the story go longer than it should have and thus unable to cover as much content as it potentially could have. Unfortunately, the second season delivers similar pacing. Almost every episode features a flashback, some longer than others. Some of these flashbacks occur, like the first season, in the middle of a fight.
THE UGLY:
The only thing ugly about this season is the fact that there will only be 12 episodes.
