I liked the first season, dumb as it was, so I came in knowing full well that this was not supposed to be a masterpiece of storytelling and animation. I think when it first started out we were maybe a little more invested in the characters, but in this season outside of one fairly big reveal, everything has become relentlessly formulaic and campy. The stakes don't feel high, the emotions fall flat, and the jokes (are there jokes?) are as noticeable as an ant's fart.

It's heartwarming and charming in some places, but I really can't get over how much I don't really care about the characters or their motivations. There isn't really much of an overarching plot, making it kind of an agglomeration of plot points or arcs with very little to tie them together. Everything is friendly and safe, and everything is told rather than shown in a reliably natural manner. Sound falls flat and quality animation is sparse.

This is a generic Isekai with the only thing holding it together being the quirky vending machine gimmick that lost its unique flavor after season 1. Good for kids, I guess.
