This is incredibly disappointing! It honestly frustrates me because Season 1 was an absolutely solid anime! One that I would absolutely recommend, but this season basically feels like filler! We continue our development from the end of the previous season, and most of the beats have a similar rhythm. The problem is that this season only features a single thread. The thread is perfectly fine, but it's NOT enough to carry the entire season. If this had been a movie or even 6 episodes long, I would have probably rated it an 8! However, because they decided to stretch it across 13 episodes everything ended up so incredibly awkward!

There's a bit of development, a bunch of nothing, a bunch of hanging around, a bit of development, repeat.
The fight scene is basically the same, as each character will often stand around doing nothing or take turns getting beat up with minimal consequences. It honestly felt like we were back to classic DBZ, in which characters spend entire episodes powering up. That's how bad it is!

Again, the core story and reveal and all that good stuff was FINE. The problem is that there wasn't enough content for 13 episodes. It's like as if World of Warcraft decided, 'You know what, a single quest per city is more than enough.'

You know what, let's poke some holes in the core story too. WTF is this boss man who is basically a 7 foot tall perfectly muscle sculpted mountain of a man 15 year old kid... You know what, it's FINE. Villains are allowed to be strong. 
How is Takemichi going up against him? He easily defeats significantly stronger fighters, yet somehow Takemichi is able to be a contender... You know what, its FINE, protag syndrome...

but then they just got lazy with it... They sell the Black Dragons as being essentially militarily trained super soldiers, then hand wave them away when it stops being convenient. It's just lazy. I'm honestly just disappointed.
