Art/Sound: Pretty much the same from the first season, but this time around it was very clear they spent more energy on the art than the story. As far as sound goes, it isn't memorable, but it is fitting for the right scenes.
Story/Character: I'll be brutally frank, there are about at most 4 episodes worth watching (possibly 3). A large part of the story this season revolves around a recently introduced character (Agnès Chevalier de Milan) who though is shown great detail, also portrays no growth whatsoever. *SPOILER: Expect character death because of her, and her not feeling guilty in the least, which most definatley led to me going "W...T...F?!" END SPOILER* If you are expecting a story about our main characters Saito and Louise, you'll surely be disappointed as I was while you watch them basically take a back seat.
On the topic of our main characters, I had expected some sort of change of character or growth from either Saito or Louise once the second season began. However, this is only evident in previoulsy stated 4 episodes worth watching.
Enjoyment: The only saving grace of this season is the final episode where Saito does something incredibly f***ing GAR (aka badass, awesome, etc.). That, and the promise of a new season. Those are the only two reasons to watch this.
Overall: If you decide to remain a dedicated fan (like me), watch it once, if for the story of the upcoming third season (and the final episode is pretty awesome). The art is at least pretty, and the humor (though occasionally dry and repetitive) should at least get a chuckle out of you.
