Story: 5/10
In the second season the origins of Yuji's Reiji Maigo are revealed and Bal Masque takes further steps to change the rule of the universe with the Reiji Maigo. (The reason for that is unknown.)
Well, this time the story was glib. Over the half of the series only dealt with the Love-Triangle from season 1 and the schoolform of Master Throne Hecate, Fumina Konoe. (Well, it actually isn't a spoiler. You can tell it with a brain of a six years old child, that Fumina Konoe is Hecate.). Though, the last part of the show was extremely rushed, especially in the last two episodes I got extremely disappointed because the second opening promised a lot of wonderful fights, but in the end you only got one really good fight. The end was almost the same as in season one, so nothing to wright hope about. Only some flashbacks and subplots were a bit interesting, but again nothing too amazing.
Animation: 9/10
The animations are well-made like in the first season. When you finally get some fight-scenes to watch, it's really worth the time you spent with the annoying filler. Silver fire looks like real silver and a tornado looks like you would be sucked in by it everytime you see it. The characters are good like always, same with the backgrounds.
Sound: 7/10
The soundtrack is nice, but for my taste, too many of the new themes are calm and happy. Instead of using new themes for sadness and like, they used the themes from season one. It's not a bad point, but it seems a bit unimaginative. :/
The seiyuus are good, especially Shana's expressions are well spoken, so there isn't a lot to discuss here.
Well, Mami Kawada again did a good job, but the OP & ED KOTOKO provided, didn't fit too well with the show. The lyrics were ok, but the sound and the vocal were a bit too sweet in my opinion.
Character: 7/10
Well, the characters develop a lot here. Shana and Kazumi aren't brawling like in season one anymore. They learn to accept each other and become friendly. Every single character developes in season two, even the supporter(there are some exceptions though). The annoying things here are the new characters. Especially Fumina Konoe is a waste of time. She simply is a poor copy of Hecate that simply disappears around halfway the show. The introduction of beautiful whim Pheles was also only for story purpose. In the opening she looked interesting, but she turned out to be only a hunter of her lover Johan. In almost every scene, she mentions her beloved Johan at least once. With time, this gets REALLY annoying.
Enjoyment: 5/10
I enjoyed the second season only partly, because of the quantity of fillers.
The fight scenes in the end were really good, but too short. Furthermore the OPs promised too much.
Overall: 7/10
Without the fillers and more story it would be more than mediocre. If you liked season one, you will like this season, too. (mostly in the second part.)
