I totally forgot what happened in season 1; it's been 4 long years.

Ok episode reentroducing the main characters and starting the plot but seems a bit hasty. The design and animation (looks like a 25 fps game) downgrade hurts a bit ngl.

Not a fan of Iska’s new design and I feel the episode was too fast paced. As long as there are good romance and action moments tho, it’s ok.

Ahhh I smiled so big when I saw S2 release. They could've done a recap at least after 4 years, but it's so refreshing to see "Kirito" and "Asuna" again.

I'm happy that season two is finally here; however, I was a bit taken aback by two things though: the pacing and the music. Firstly, the episode seemed much too quick for its runtime. If they gave the frames and scenes a few more seconds to 'breath', then I think it would give the audience more time to process and appreciate what is happening. Secondly, the music was very intense at certain parts of the episode which caused some dialogue to be drowned out by the violins going ballistic – the music sounded fine though, just knock a few decibels off. Aside: While I preferred the previous art style, as it felt more appropriate for this story's subject matter, I also like the new art style. This studio made some other anime not too long ago...which I never got around to watching...but aesthetically speaking, I thought colour palette and general animation direction looked nice. Wrapping up this tangent, I am looking forward to watching the rest of the show. What I surmise happened during the production of this episode is that they had determined some story benchmark that they needed to achieve within the given episode count, and that's exactly what they did; therefore, hopefully, the next few episodes will feel less hectic.

Hmm pretty okay I guess, I like how Alice meets Iska in the end part. Hopefully Sisbell is also there in the next episode for it to be good.

The 2nd of 3 works from the imitation novelist of Kei Sazane for this year: the return of Fall 2020's KimiSen, which I find it to be rather horrible. But thinking back now, I felt that I've given the show a rather harsh negative score, and I'm hoping that Season 2 will change things for the better after 3.5 years.

AliA comes back again for yet another OP since last season's Gods' Game We Play (also written by Kei Sazane), and... I pretty much preferred Kaori Ishihara's Season 1 OP by a LONG stretch.


Diving right into the LN's continuation from Volume 5, it's the affair of the Witch between the Lou Nebulis girls of Alice, Sisbell and Elletear, in wanting Iska to become one's guard, as well as his friends from the 907th Unit, protecting a witch like Mismis, which her situation only can call forth someone like Iska to do the job, if clearly putting Sisbell on the line as an astral mage whom the Empire is clearly after. Alice clearly hasn't given up on thinking about Iska either, after this long.

Sisbell's escort mission as a last resort to stop the war between the Empire and the Nebulis Sovereignity, even Zoa's Masked Lord is no doubt that it'll be a straightforward affair that leads to war. In fact, this is much more of a war between sisters, as they all gather at South Altoria Station for the same mission in their various groups.

This doesn't look all that different from Silver Link's shtick, even with Studio Palette aiding in production. Still, I want to know how deep the bottom of the barrel will Kei Sazane's ONLY anime sequel will go for yet another season.

It's the opposite. Silver Link is helping but not sure with which part considering that most of the staff working on this season is from Studio Palette.

I’m glad this is back, don’t get me wrong.

But is anyone else disappointed in the art / animation change?

I noticed the different eyes right away.

I liked that aqua color the captain’s crest had in the first season, not its gold.

I know they change studios for different seasons, but come on, try to give us something similar.

Not as bad as season 4 of DxD but I still am sad.

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

No lie, I don't remember anything about the first season.

I might do a re-watch of S1, or at the very least, find a recap and come back to this later.

A proper recap would've been fine after so long, but sprinkling in the world politics does help the plot run.
Elletear vs Queen kinda tense & smug. Sawashiro voicing quite good.
Nene looks like Crunchyroll chan.
Jhin's hair way more detailed.
Nice the fashion designs return, & backgrounds. Alway nice when characters have more than one outfit the whole show.
Animation still fine. Just all the eyes completely changed from s1 takes getting used to, now like rinnegan.
lol Alice going full tsundere. Sisbell that cute letter.
cool OP
S1 had some plot & pacing issues, seems s2 pacing off to a good start.

I forgot that every female character in this show is attracted to Isuka, good old harem trope.
