This second season has gotten quite a bit of hate for it's artwork, and it is unnecessary. I watch a series for the story, honestly the story could be told with stick figures for me, but if the plot was compelling, and the characters believable, then I am sold.

On that note, I found the story was more powerful, if less subtle, in this second season, and the same could be said for the characters. This season seemed to focus a bit more on Triela (which I didn't mind, as she was my favourite character) and her personality.

What sold me the most about this series ... was the amount of depth they went into with Pinocchio. They spend a lot of time developing his character and his past, not to build him up as a villain, but as a person. This is what sets this show apart from the rest. Its a good part of what made great series like Monster and LotGH great, the attention to detail. Having even side characters feel like people, not just props to decorate the background or monsters to be slain.

I recommend this series for anyone who enjoys thoughtful storylines with a bit of action.

I haven't been updating my MAL for quite some time, but this series deserves it.

I rated it (1) because while the first arc was pretty bad, this second arc has become quite truthfully "unwatchable".

Story: Good original concept, has taken a huge nosedive though. To the point that it no longer is a real story so much as just a stage to play out preteen fantasies. Its quite embarasing, and it strongly reeks of the "chuunibiyo/eight grader syndrome". You have a hero who is super special and always has a super advantage with his super equipment and never loses because he has super special abilities. ... It's cringe worthy. As for this arcs damsel in distress direction, it isn't the worst plot but it is a cliche of cliches.

Characters: When I first started watching this show, I thought "Okay, we have some asocial kid here, but through trials and turbulations he will develop as a character, etc". Not quite what happened. He just suddenly became outgoing and talkative.

The art and the sound are average.

This series was thoroughly unenjoyable and I recommend it to anyone with poor taste.
