The second season definitely felt pretty convoluted and confusing. The anime already has a habit of not explaining things very well or having very unclear and hard-to-follow dialogue, but the whole economic aspect just makes everything worse. There were so many times I had to go back while watching after not initially understanding some random piece of dialogue. Sure, Holo and Lawrence speak in rather unorthodox ways compared to how people speak now, but that wasn't the issue. Many times the dialogue would feel random and unexplained. I'd go to the sub to see if it was any better at explaining and it was just blatantly different. On top of the dialogue, the plot was really hard to follow, despite the subpar explanations. Oftentimes characters would randomly do things for seemingly no apparent reason, only for it to be supposedly explained later, but the explanations were hard to understand. Sure, there is value in not directly telling the audience what is happening, but in that case it should be more or less easily deducible, which it was not. On top of that, the plot felt very random and it felt like even the author didn't really know what was going on, but hoped the audience would just go along with it. Despite that, it was still entertaining to watch and most of what was done well in the first season also carried on into this one.
