Animation 7, Story 9, Chars 9, Char design 7 (matches the manhwa more, so Rachel finally looks on the outside as on the inside, S1 Rachel was too cute for what she is)
Yes its less unique than S1, but if it means we get to get S3 and more, I am more than happy with it so give it a try for yourself, make your own opinion. The story will pick up...not like S1 was crazy filled with action, not to mention story depth which we didnt even scratch the surface off
For adaptation of sauce with 600+ chapters, following multiple "main" characters sometimes for multiple chapters, diving deep in backstories of side characters that will die in a moment, so much it made me take a break 2 or 3 times already (looking at you War of talks and Cat games) this is still good show and also much better than 80% of current season.
For this show to shine it would need continuous releases like major shounen titles like Narutardo and Wan piss. But I am afraid we wont get it when I am reading reviews of ppl here...
