Visuals:
1) not much difference from last season
2) I didn't enjoy the transformations sequences compared to previous seasons
3) characters look more like 16 year olds than 14 year olds. It's just 2 years but in puberty 2 years is a lot
4) there's a few continuity errors. This is better explained with an example. On the 3rd episode, a character and a dog go play in a water area where the water level reaches this character's ankles. A few minutes later, we get to see an actual truck fall in and it sinks completely.
5) inconsistent animation, sometimes sloppy
Sound:
1) top notch casting as usual for most roles
2) dialog and animation aren't always in sync
3) it's much more enjoyable when cutesy characters aren't voiced by male seiyuus forcing their throats to give us a very high pitched sound
4) soundtrack is forgettable
Story and characters:
1) I was super into this up until episode 12. It felt somewhat fresh (no pun intended) and it was pretty funny, too. However, the vast majority of the episodes after that it so predictable, boring and repetitive that my interest and level of enjoyment died down. It felt like every episode was the same. 50 episodes is too much for this type of show.
2) There's this guy character that's meant to be a love interest for one of the girls. He's pretty annoying and I can't relate or sympathize with him. However, this guy confesses his feelings for this girl and because the world is going into chaos, they postpone the answer. Finally the world is back to normal and... THE GIRL TELLS HIM "I'm not going to answer!!! :D" as if it's an acceptable response. This ruined what was being a very average ending to this season.
So, despite the promising start, it still ended up being a disappointment. It's a 6/10.
