Luckily (or maybe purposefully) Shinbo (director) tried to give Natsu no Arashi a different style, where he try to cram as many cells into a scene as possible... To the point where sometimes the characters strike a pose for no reason while the conversation goes on normally. Though it's SHAFT's style to use as little frames as possible, I enjoyed the artistic intent.
The story didn't amount to much though. I was hoping for greatly improved quality and more creative story lines, but it turn out to be almost exactly like season one... Random jokes with relation to the time paradoxes, and their adventures through time travel. There's a lot more character development this time round but I feel that the characters are not the strong point of this series. And the OP, I think it's trying too hard to sell by making everyone naked.
Otherwise, I didn't think much about the songs and stuff because they didn't really leave an impression. Season one was good because it was kinda unique; season two didn't really feel like that anymore.
Plot/Concept: Good
Story Style: Fairly good
Audio/Visual: Excellent!
Value: 7
