Season 2 is in my opinion better than Season 1 for the following reasons

There are no time skips, which allows the series to flow better.
we get a bit more plot going on in the episodes, rather than one or two episodes of exposition followed by several episodes of nothing. Here we actually see events unfold and the story comes from that. It's the old saying - Show, don't tell.
Don't get me wrong, the story isn't amazing, it's just better executed.
We also do actually see some characters undergoing character growth, and because it also focuses more on a smaller group of characters, some of them get fleshed out slightly and aren't just bits of the background.
And finally, it's a lot more entertaining, Season 2 is just over the top, it's fairly non-stop and it just becomes good enjoyable trash.

There are still issues, while some of the issues that season 1 had, it has replaced them with 'new' issues.
The animation is still bad, in fact in some episodes it seems like that animators have just given up trying.
The sound is still bad as ever, bad OST, bad voice acting.

But our new issues are, plot armour for main characters, and the pure amount of expendable side characters, or characters that are brought into it just to die.
I mean, I get it, I do, they want to show how bleak the situation is, and to show just how many people died in the event, and how hopeless it is for so many.
But when you have characters that die so easily, and then others that are in even more dire situations and survive... It cheapens those deaths, and destroys the believability of it all.
