I simply don't know where to begin, but like Jack the Ripper, let's take it one step at a time.
Regarding the animation, it's very confusing. In some parts, it's much better than the first season, but in others, it's far worse. It doesn't stay consistent, fluctuating between declines and improvements as needed, which bothered me a lot.
As for the art style, while some complained, it actually looks much better than before. The characters are more well-drawn and appealing, with bolder and stronger lines that enhance their appearance.
Now, about the story… here's where the real problem lies. Everything feels very disconnected. This director didn't know how to orchestrate this second season. Problems are resolved without any emotion and out of nowhere. This issue is compounded by the absence of the impactful soundtrack from the first season, making the already weak climaxes seem outright pathetic. The fights lacked weight, emotion, and anything to captivate the viewer. They feel more like turn-based battles where one attacks while the other just waits for their turn.
The characters remain fun, which is the main motivation to keep watching, and the manga's premise is genuinely entertaining. All that's left is to bring in a better director, a powerful soundtrack, and ensure consistent animation.
In the end, this second season was nothing more than "just okay."
