I'd be lying if I said I preferred this over Season 1. While I do think this season was fun and interesting, the things that I loved about Season 1 weren't here, and I feel that impacted how I viewed this season.
Majority of this season was of the side characters, which I actually do like and care about but I feel it was a *little* too much. The latter half of this season was barely focused on our MC until the end (which tbh I expected).
Animation as always is good though, so I have no complaints on that front.
Maybe I'll pick up the manga as I don't have high hopes we'll get a season 3 but who knows (I was surprised it even got a s2 lol).
