The second season seems not to have as much of comedy as the first one, but starts to bring more purpose
to the series as we got a new goal for the main character (with the magical school and the limit time to break
his curse)
The timing of some serious/romantic scenes feels a little bit too fast, if that makes sense. At times, it feels like
they just got thrown there in the middle and cut in a weird abrupt way.
the cgi choice seems to limits the characters' expressions and dynamic in their designs, also, the lighting
in most scenes feels flat. It's a bit of a bother, since we have more serious moments in this season, and their silly
movments and limited face expressions end up subtracting from the wanted atmosphere.
For me, personally, the cgi itself is not that big of a problem, but some scenes would feel much better with a
better lighting choice that would suit the moment. Doing that would distract the audience from the dullness of
the models aswell.
About the characters, the Second Son really is the funniest XDD since the first season, all scenes with him were the
funniest. I know comedy is pretty relative, but i think a lot of people might think the same!! He's just so funny.
Daleth's interest for him is so sweet!! Their first scene together was really sweet, the moment he called her beautiful
i started shipping them. Am i to blame? Their personalities complement eachother's really well and do a lovely dynamic.
I do hope they don't make it too fast tho, the Second Son is really immature for now, i at least hope to see he getting
more mature as he realises his interest for her or something like that. A slowburn would be nice...
Talking about Daleth, i was a little disappointed when she turned into a cutie not-so-evil character so quickly. I don't
feel like we saw a lot from her and simpathized enough with her to already see her development. The pacing is really
fast... That's something that bothered me a little since the first season (about the fast pacing).
For example, the anime didn't show us much of Cuff being frustrated for being weak; it happened once in episode 10 and
then she was already super motivated to get stronger. It end up feeling like it came out of nowhere...
It would make more sense if Zain was the one determinated for training, since he the one who always showed his
frustration for being so weak and not being able to help Cuff.
A crazy shot was seeing Alice not have much reaction literally seeing her mother she thought was dead for deadass
years. Sure, she had a reaction, she was surprised... But that's really all?!?!! We don't even see her reflecting about
the fact. Man. Her mother. Who she cares so dearly for. Who she thought was DEAD. We don't have a deep character
reaction about it and it's kinda crazy.
I suppose the writing will stay like this so i'm just ignoring the flatness and taking it as "this anime simply
doesn't take things too seriously" and moving on. It doesn't make the anime bad. (It had potential to be something
more tho).
I like how creepy Shade can be.
I love the opening and ending. So good. So sweet. Suits them soo well!!
Well what the fuck was this last scene?!?!!?!?! Great job of making me hooked for the 3rd season ahaha we have to
agree sooner o later the stupid idea of going to the past so suddenly without any preparing would lead to some weird
things in the present, but i wasn't expecting that. Well if there's something we can learn from this anime is
ALWAYS WATCH UNTIL THE END!! lol
