STORY:3/10. Weak. Vey weak. The writers realized that there wasn't an active villain so they thought of the single most random guy to make into the "big bad guy" and it doesn't work. The pacing is awful, every encounter is actually 3-6 fights in a row where the "heroes" think they win only to be siked out. The small plot surrounding Jyugo is almost non- existent, so it's like not a thing of importance in relation to what's actually going on. Honestly it could have been really cool to see how this season's concept could have played out... but we got this instead.
ART:6/10. This season has a drop in quality compared to season 1 in terms of animation and background. Most backgrounds are the exact same for hours on end with nothing changing thanks to the setting. The characters spend very long just.. standing there... not doing anything until they're called on something like pokemon waiting in their pokeballs while their trainer is getting mugged.
SOUND:3/10. mediocre. random sound effects that have no reason to be there. No music or score or track was used well. The characters grunt and moan for longer than they should. It's awkward.
CHARACTER:4/10. It seems like the writers found the cast to be too big, so they only work with a handful of characters at a time. Some of the main cast have such little screen time for no good reason right from the first few episodes. The pacing has it so that you focus on 1 group for far too long, making their weaknesses shine through for longer periods without anyone to rescue them from it.
ENJOYMENT:2/10. YUCK! A bad season that did literally nothing for anyone. It was annoying to watch because of the missing characters, the awful pacing and the plot that isn't engaging.
