One of the most boring manga experiences in recent memories. This ages like milk and it's run by a very typical post-apocalypse plot, in which the characters are annoyingly superficial and dumb. Each new text bubble appears only to make me so angry and develop a sense of hatred towards pretty much all the characters due to the captain obvious syndrome and irritating reactions. The art doesn't help much, which is unforgivably stiff and sterile even for a 2010's-ish manga. Narrative-wise it's rather unfocused and lacks any desire to brainstorm a single "compelling" hook, everything is running around and dragging for a while and then ... BAM, another meaningless and often wtf??!! encounter or fight. There're some ultra-cringey "omg bubs an gurls!!" moments that I find extremely off-putting. Overall a very mediocre manga to read, I wasn't even surprised when I found myself scrolling through all this stuff in just half an hour and rolled my eyes back the skull.

I don't usually watch anime and it's even more ironic when I'm so invested in drawing anime-like characters, but when I do, I'd choose something that 1. is born for technical admiration (at least the other aspects are digestible), 2. memorable character and world building. Well, guess what? This show is surprisingly all about those ridiculous standards of mine.

Story: 6/10
Okay, for those who don't like the idea of an anime that does not have any real interesting plot hooks in particular, I can relate to that now. Jokes're everywhere, but feel forced and cheap, although I appreciate the effort in trying to make a ... bunch of well-placed humor without ruining the mood (well, it did, half of the time). Small stories of the rest of Libra's members only told more about how these characters react to some bizarre events, which is the thing you shouldn't binge too much if you remember how bizarre Hellsalem's Lot is everyday (at this point I actually beg for something big in the last season, even if it was poorly developed).
It's literally like the description of Libra in the ep 2 of season 1: "A secret organization of people with supernatural abilities dedicated to maintaining order in the everyday chaos of Hellsalem's Lot". Nothing goes beyond that.

Art and Animation: 8/10
Bones is known for producing quality and consistent animation, regardless of the anime's popularity. I still find detailed and vivid backgrounds with above average fighting scenes, pretty much like the lavish production in the last season. Now there's something quite annoying about the optical effect in some certain scenes, I don't understand the physics thing in film making but I can tell you that it's ANNOYING. Anyway, the rest is beautiful.
The style changed a little bit, in an even more stylized way than the first season, the show tried to capture the "edgy lines" in its oringinal manga, which is fine I guess.

Original Soundtrack: 8/10
The sound design in this series is incredibly competent (again), among with the animation. Iwasaki did an amazing job in creating soothing aesthetic and highly catchy music, he mixed various kind of genres, including hip-hop, rap, to some pop jazz, trip hop or just pure piano track. Although the music itself is atmospheric, the direction is not that brilliant, a lot of moments are so misplaced and awkward. I personally feel like Masumoto put more passion in this area than Aketagawa.

Character: 6/10 (5+1 for the designs)
Since the last season had to deal with the dull character development issue, the second season did change the plan, but it wasn't all that matter. Those stories did settle some certain feelings for the characters and introduce their personal backgrounds, but that's it, no real strong impact, no mind-changing situation, no questionable moments of thoughts, no nothing (maybe K.K's episode is exceptional, but still, it's just too simplistic for this Baccano,Durarara-toned series). And even Leonardo the MAIN CHARACTER, oh good lord, what an impactful flashback. I mean, I have no issue with Michella but seriously? "You're my turtle knight"? Richly textured story I guess.

Overall: 7/10
This is a pure entertainment, come on and enjoy the wackiness of this series, filled with memorable music and visual impression.
