This is where i finally started to understand why people like this show. Im still not in love with the series (see my season 1 review for reasons) but the new writing staff directing this season did a terrific job.
Story: 8/10
This season picks up and finishes where the last season left off. There are much higher stakes and more believable tense filled scenarios since the power scaling has rised. And even after hating the first season, the tearful episode near the end still worked on me to a decent affect. This was a surprising turn around for me. Im still not sure if it is worth sitting through 20 episodes of bleh to get here tho.
Main/Side Characters: 6-7/10
Most characters are still average or below average but there was some great devlopent for Karma and Sensei during this part. Sensei alone carries this score 1-2 points higher than it should be. He went from dislikeable to pretty likeable for me.
Antagonists: 6/10
Once again, it is pretty easy to side with most of the government so i don't think the author gto across what he wanted to. This score was brought up some since they tease a cure to finally give u a reason to maybe want to hold the government back.
Power System/Action: 7.5/10
A massive step up from the previous season again. There are actually people who can stand toe to toe with Sensei this time which makes for some high speed fights. The government finally get off their asses with decent tech now too.
Comedy: 4.5/10
Not funny imo, below average for your average anime. Slightly better here than the beginning arcs.
Art: 7.5/10
Nothing to complain about or boast about. Besides a few great looking fight scenes there is not much to take note of. No real change between seasons.
Music/Openings: 7.5/10
A massive step up here as well. The English incorporated into anime openings is a soft spot for me. The last opening also really captures the somber vibe of this being the end of the story with its lyrics and imagery.
Story/Conclusion: 7.5-8/10
Extremely great sad episode, wasn't too impressed with the wrap up episode that followed after as it seemed cliché but everyone comes to this series for the semi final episode anyway.
Final Thoughts:
Putting as mixed feelings since i personally don't feel like the first season, being the garbage it is, is worth sitting through just to get to a pretty good season. If you liked the first season you will love this one. If the first season was eh or bad in your eyes, there MAY be some redemption here like the case with me.
