Maybe I didn't notice how bad season 2 first cour was because I saw a review saying the exact opposite BUT, I loved that, nothing rubbed me off the wrong way or weirded me out. Meanwhile this after the second episode was almost unwatchable. All episodes were slideshows of faces just spouting their lines and somehow they managed to even have the fighting scenes play out that way, characters very often become doodles and lose their quality and the dialogue is so rough I'm getting physical pain from trying to convince myself it's not as bad. I absolutely loved s2c1 and like how the story ... progresses here but it's adapted and animated in such. a. bad. way. it's ridiculous. And that is very specifically after the battle to board Archimedes concluded, up until then I'd noticed nothing.

The aesthetics the story the characters, everything is a masterpiece as long as vampires, a gothic style and tragic storytelling are among your preferences. The first movie was really good but had it's weird bits, goofy disgusting or straight up annoying enemy fodder designs, a weird progression to the plot and the aged animation were very noticeable. Here everything is fixed and not just that but take to a completely new level. Cleaner designs, with much less needless techy sci-fi nonsense, enemies and all characters in general were really interesting and unique. Just an absolute masterpiece, the movie that would come out if what I ... and possibly many others love was put together in the best way possible.

Ok so this anime was an actual masterpiece to me, awesome animation, awesome story building, very interesting and unique characters. The main problem I see people having is completely because of their preferences.

The start of the show follows a "several short independent stories" approach which don't reslly have any story progression. It is though very clearly buildup to a beautiful story and world but most get bored by then and drop it, while I found those episodes very enjoyable nevertheless. It ends up to people heaving specific preferences that were not met and crying about it. Reminds me a lot of the Journey of Witch ... Elaina that had the same way of storytelling. If you want constant plot twist new major villains or whatever shounen brainrot you probably won't like it, if you can appreciate short stories and world building for what they are, you'll love it.

Typical Isekai but polished to perfection, good comedy and classic stupidly done tropes but in just the right amounts, serious somewhat predictable but very captivating story that doesn't put too much "what's going to happen now?" stress but still has it's drama, every single character is well designed, well-rounded and unique, one or two might become some of your favorite characters ever while even some typical soldier background characters are given the chance to shine. Personally loved the art style but it was very generic. A world of fiction so well done that I simply didn't want the season to end.
