The story has improved quite well, to a degree. This time around, the main focus of this season is a bit one-sided and forced. From the beginning of the second season, you end up assuming about the story. However, that assumption of yours is immediately kicked down. It's not bad, but it was more different than I imagined it was going to be. The entire first season and the first few episodes make you assume that the plot would go one way, but it ends up going the other. Think of this season as an edgier upgrade to the first, while carrying the same torch.
The characters are all the same quality as the first season, but the plot kinda dulls them down in one form or another. The newly introduced characters in this season are more in focus, while the reoccurring characters feel a bit washed out due to the story and how it's presented. Their charm is still there, but I feel like they themselves have been toned down a bit in order to give the new characters a time to shine.
The animation is still of the same quality as before. Of course, Eight Bit is still the studio in charge of this anime so it makes sense. There isn't any noticeable drop in quality whatsoever, which is good.
Overall, an amazing second season. I can't wait to see what happens in the second part of this season. Definitely recommend you watch this after watching the first season.
