Story 6/10: Following up from the first season, the group finally decide to follow up on their mystery and challenge the white clad ones.. except literally throughout the entire season the Shinra and the others are just..weak. I wouldn't mind it, if it was concluded nicely but nope, for SOME reason, they end on a training arc purely on the last episode. I understand they're building up to the next season but the show had serious pacing issues, worse than the first season and the fan service was WAY TOO MUCH. When the show has more fan fiction than action to drag out the episoders, you know something is wrong. That said, you do learn more about the Adolla links but honestly.. this season was kinda predictable. The reaosn I give this a lower score than the first season was well.. you watch a guy about to die and what happens.. bam fan service, then some joke, then some sad music then action again within the space of a minute - way to ruin a scene.
Art and Sound : Again, top notch. No complaints at all. David productions have always smashed it out of the park and the OP + ED have been great throughout the entire season. Sound was really well delivered and hype moments felt hype.
Character development 9/10: Credit where credit is due, the amount of development side characters got was really good, my favourite in particular being charon showing another side of him. There was little focus around shinra this season and though it did show, it really brought some other characters in the background more into light - although i do wish there was a little more focus on characters showing their thoughts and reasoning without blindly following.
Overall 7/10: Honestly.. pacing really ruined this for me. Very few animes can end on a cliffhanger right and this was not one of them. Story and the mystery is again the main driving factor for me, but man as a fellow hentai watcher myself.. too much can take away from the show in regards to the fan service.
