This season of The Faraway Paladin revolves around the tale of the rust mountain and its denizens. We follow William going on a quest to help them, where he travels with a band of friends, to cleanse the mountain from the evil that has overtaken it.
The plot is very linear and follows the classic structure of an adventure group going out to save the lands. It is generally done in an interesting way, that explores the road they have to travel and the dangers along the way. The first couple of episodes are lead up, and is sadly kinda forgettable, but the rest of the story carries a nice feeling of a true adventure.
When it comes to the characters are they rather basic in some degrees, where some show significant character progression and others are rather stagnant. The main issue is that the characters lack some stronger personality traits, something that isn’t just courageous or just. The characters would have been more interesting, and worth investing more into if the characters were a bit more spiced up.
For the animation is it still keeping the same style as the previous season and seems to be a fine effort, with some good effects during fights.
Overall is this season an improvement from last season and is a nice watch, with a very nice adventure party plot. So i would recommend watching this season if you watched the first one, even though it lacks a bit in the character department.
