The series started exactly where the season one ended. Just like I said before, it’s as if the two seasons was really one series cut in the middle so they created a second season. This series was way even better from the previous one, story wise, because the main plot was more focused and so the story was more on the serious flow. Lag’s search for Gauche continued and halfway the series it turned into a quest to find the truth. Lag struggled to take Gauche back almost like that famous Ninja who foolishly and unconditionally searched for his friend (If you know who I am referring to). Some of the important revelations about the main plot were explored like the truth about the “Day of Flicker”, the artificial sun, government’s experiments, the goal of Reverse organization, and even about Niche’s identity. The most important though was about Lag. The truth about Lag and his mother was strongly hinted in this series. Though every revelation created another mystery.
The ever crybaby Lag Seeing and ever cute Niche returned in this series. The revelation of some information about the government shook the beliefs of some characters. It even changed the resolve of Gauche that led him to turn his back from his past life as a Tegami Bachi though it was strongly influenced by his memories being gone. Even though Gauche never returned to his former self and created calmer and heartless persona, it was so he can protect and inspire other people as Noir. He maybe a different Gauche but his compassion for others was still there. Perhaps he realized the truth about the government for the better. Lag decided to just cherish the Gauche that inspired him and accepted the other persona of Gauche which was Noir. More than anything else, Lag’s naivety and innocence was put to test in this series. With the realization that Gauche’s heart can never be returned and the horrifying truth about the government that he works for, Lag’s resolves and beliefs was shaken. He was to choose whether to stay believing in his resolve or to succumb to the dark and cruel side of the world like the people from Reverse. I just love stories with the transformation of people after learning that life is not that great as other people say. After realizing the truth about the world people either matures from it or succumbs from the hatred of the cruelty and unfairness of the world. It just fascinating to see when people mature from their innocent selves.
The animation was still as captivating as before perhaps a little bit greater. The cool costumes of the characters and captivating visuals of every episode was also amazingly done. The sounds and seiyu’s voice was as perfect too.
Watch this series as the story continues from the season one. Get more of Lag’s crybaby moment and Niche’s cuteness. You will love the series even more with this second season.
