Honestly, the animation, pacing and execution is just horrible compared to the 1st season.


First off, I really hated the recaps, though the recaps were initially quite good in the first season, were written well, and made you look forward to what would happen after the intro, (though, it did get kind of repetitive after the first five episodes and gradually stopped adding as much), it eventually stopped at a certain point when it just seemed unnecessary, THIS season however, has those recaps for EVERY episode, and not only is there nothing interesting added in any of what is said during those recaps, it just gives ... a poor sum up of the previous episode in the most bland way possible.
In the first season, the recaps kinda hyped me up, but here it just felt like dead filler begging to be skipped.

The intro uses the same song as the first season, which I don't mind, I actually think it's quite fitting, but the quality and emotion put into the animation is just far worse, instead of emotional compilations of events all overlapping each other one after the other, more portions of the intro is filled with noticeably with less animated imagery of Bon/other new characters/events, but it's not nearly as beautiful as season 1's OP, its closer and closer to a slideshow, much like 80% of the animation throughout this season.


I think it's obvious there was clearly much more passion put into the first season compared to this lazy mess, if you liked this anime in the first season and are invested in it's story, I wouldn't recommend watching this, you're better off reading the manga, unless you're not the type to read manga, in which case you'll most likely end up experiencing 40% of the enjoyment this story has to offer under to poor and lazy execution.
