What I loved about the original series was I got a sense of WHY the girls loved their school to death and what saving it meant to them. However with the second season of sunshine, the only reason I could see everyone wanting to save the school was because they all met there. Now that's not a bad reason why, but since the girls always hanged out together and had a good amount of chances to save the school, I didn't get why they were so upset like they didn't make any progress or do anything at all. With mari, dia and kanan, I totally get why they felt so bad they couldn't save the school, they had the authority and some influence in the school, but for the first and second years, they could still ALL go to school together.
I love yohane and riko the most but what uspet me was instead of yohane actually improving as a character she remained the same. I expected once she talked to riko about why she had her complex and continues to use it, she'd either stop doing it as much or find some compromise with it but instead she just embraced it more for some odd reason. It felt like some characters had some development while others remained the same, it only bugged me because we had literally a whole segment where everyone said how being an idol changed them.
Ever since I finished sunshine season two, I've been hooked on the mobile game. Aquors has such good music, it always brightens my mood, my favorite song have to be zero to one, it really hits home. I really enjoyed season two of my new favorite franchise, but every time I think of the ending, I don't feel anything. I wanted to feel sad and excited for the movie based on the final episode but I had more of an "oh, it's over now? mkay" moment instead. Sunshine was a bright and sunny day then all of a sudden it became party cloudy with a high chance of rain for me, season one was everything I wanted. Season two felt like it pulled on my heartstrings a little too much for my taste.
