This is a direct sequel to the Digimon Xros Wars and this review will take that into consideration since I've already expressed a lot of flaws of this show on that anime's review section.
One the main flaws was the lack of creativity in character design. This time we get a few more examples of new digimon and not all of them are mecha and/dragon types. However, there were still a lot of old digimon.
The animation gets a little bit worse for some odd reason and but the audio gets better.
Now, let's talk about story: it still moves at a very fast pace, always focusing on the main plot points but this time around it's not as repetive. Battles are decided through strategy and different Digimon combinations and moves... or so it seems during the first half of each of the first 12 or so episodes. There's always some stupid reason breaking that beautiful and satisfying victory about to happen and so we get the usual fight we've seen a thousand times already. Despite this, Kuriha and Nene play a more decisive role and we get to see different Digifusions of quite a few different Digimon. Despite this, I feel that there a lot of missed opportunities to see awesome fusions between some of the bosses and our heroes.
SPOILERS:
1) Kuriha is nothing but a bipolar sun of a rotten egg. This guy has two moods in life: smug tsundere or outright villain. I could not care less about his backstory and anytime he has the spotlight, I just roll my eyes
2) Yuu's role in the story is cringe at its finest and it's a shame that it takes so long for his arc to end
3) The fact that Beelzebubmon is the only Digimon never used in any fusion this particular season makes it too obvious that he would eventually die
4) Olegmon should've been used to fuse with Kuriha's, Nene's or Taiki's team. Anything would be better than the usual cliché sacrifice route.
Overall, this season showed a lot of potencial in a few episodes but Yuu, Kiriha and the lack of creativity in battles on the 2nd part of this sequel are too much for me to fully enjoy it.
Final score: 6/10
