I have no idea why they bothered with a second season. I watched it thinking maybe they'd develop some of the characters that they'd introduced in the first season.

My biggest problem with this show is that it provides more subtext than actual text. There are all sorts of hints at relationships of various kinds, but not much more than that. It's almost a blank slate and I can see people hanging a lot of meta or fanfiction off of that, but that's really not enough to make the show completely enjoyable by itself. These short little snap shot type shows can succeed, but you need to put a little meat on the bones or else it turns into this watered down cocoa mess. Also, what started out as a cute peppy pop song opening turns into the most torturous 30 seconds of your life after 24 episodes!
