Pretty disappointed so far, the animation is much worse than the first season and half of this episode was just recap of the first episode

Edit: Alright after revisiting the first season a little, "much worse" is probably an overreaction by me, the animation is mostly on par, save for a few lazily animated dialogue scenes and the cars and some of the backgrounds looking like garbage

Cliffhangers are like an essential in this show, another death though rip Chen Bin. I wonder how they will get out of the situation that they are in.

These two episodes weren't much, little story.
They were more to show that in this season instead of the protagonists going after the villain, it's the contrary, it's more like the villain going after than, and fast!
In other words, the stakes are very high, and very different from the first season with it's episodic stories.


About the art and animation, I think the next episodes will be much better.
If you remember all the previews since the last episode aired many scenes from these two episodes were animated lot long after. They next episodes probably had much more time to be finished.

Can you give an example where the animation is worse than the first season. Episode one had a fight sequence which is extremely difficult to animate and when Cheng Xiaoshi was eating in his jail sell and crying, they had an entire montage sequence that was smoother than the montage sequence in Season 1 episode 2. Also the 3 minute fight sequence in season 2 episode 2 was smooth and I would say just as good as the animation in Season 1's basketball scene. Every other scene in season 2, episodes 1 and 2 that focussed more on dialogue was consistent animation wise with the first season dialogue animation. Ok maybe there was one scene where I thought Chen Bin's face could have more animation while he was driving the car but that was very minor.

i have so many questions but i just can't get over how fucking cool cheng xiaoshi and qiao long's fight was !!!!!!!!!!!!! ling is SO COOL i'm glad she's getting more screen time and is a badass. i love women. it's almost enough to distract me from how bad the next episode is probably going to make me feel. this show is too good.

My girl Qiao Ling slays. Goddamn that fight scene went hard, really weighty movements, absolutely loved it.

Why they gotta do detective death with cuts to his pregnant wife like that, made me emotional for a character we barely knew. Tho I'm sure he won't be dead for long.

S2 so far does not disappoint.

Ep2 had a lots of flashbacks from ep1 cuz they were explaining what actually happened behind the scene...... so I think the progress was a little slow.....not that i ming since they explained it nicely unlike few oyher animes which leaves us to interpret it on our own
The fight scene was sooo good, it was very smooth
And the way it ended on cliffhanger to keep us on edge

Overall I really liked it

Very cool martial arts sequence in the main fight against the henchman and not to mention how depressing was to see officer Chen's wife perspective coming from the the first episode. Damn cliffhangers, you make me so anxious.

Is it just me, or is season 2 looking a lot less promising rn? The whole anime just feels like I'm watching a recap, especially because of how music is used here. At least the fight scenes are top tier.

I liked it a lot but I did feel like the animation was choppy at points. It's not like they don't have incredible shots and scenes, the show still blows me away every episode. I think the subtitles on crunchyroll maybe weren't great and took some of my immersion away, especially when characters talked in a different way than they did the previous episode, during the flashbacks. 

During the fight I definitely felt like the animation felt off because at times I wasn't sure what was happening and the character's motions weren't fluid to me. Part of it is probably because of the choreography and because it was such a long fight. 

Sometimes when I rewatch my favorite shows I notice like really bad animation or like super obvious reusing of the same shots that I never really noticed or didn't care about when I watched the shows for the first time. I think when something feels off or you lose immersion you start to notice that stuff. I've been thinking about this a lot so i'm glad I can put it into words now.

Anyways
YO THAT CLIFFHANGER

My brain has been turned to mush trying to piece things together, there's always curveballs happening. It's so good at like keeping you on the edge of your seat no matter what it's trying to do. Its so insanely good. The OP is incredible and I keep hoping that they'll do an episode with a different animation style. Animation wise overall they keep just throwing so much stuff at you that feels unique or different, and it happens any point in the show regardless of what kind of scene they're doing. 

Definitely love it and i'm really excited for the rest of the episodes

Man cliffhanger from last week was good since it didn't cut back on story progress but this week.... that Captain Qian conversation should have been cut short and the reason why because it covered nearly half the episode and the only progress the series made was got the photo and glimpse of the power wielder and when it came to story progress ADD THE DAMN CLIFFHANGER
Still gotta admit fight was cool though even if the thug took on both of them without breaking a sweat

Nope not just you ^^,

I have a lot of issues with these first few episodes (mainly with the writing, animations, pacing, the general direction they’re taking this series, among other things) but hopefully it gets better, there’s still potential I think. The OP and ED are great at least, and the cliffhanger at the end of episode 3 is interesting.

Im gonna go insane if every episode ends with cliff hanger TTwTT /hj
I hate to wait, but since i managed to wait for 2nd season so long, i will try to enjoy it, but man, why they repeat so much stuff, ik they probably try to show us the exact situation with different pov, but it makes me more confused at times. And my heart ache when i saw officer tears moment he felt down knowing well his wife waited for him at home. I hope at least 2nd guy is ok.
Fight scenes were pretty good, tho i couldnt catch all the moves... the moment episode ended, why theres so many of those people, are they a gang or this bad person can switch n control so many at once?
*sheesh* i hope they end up alright, i dont want any of them to die dghdfshg
