Shout by TheUnsatisfiedConsumer
VIP4A sad parody of its former self, putting all their chips into shock value, hype, and meta culture. Sad to see it's already devolving without any self awareness faster than The Boys did.
Core aspects of this show (writing, animation, direction, pacing, scope) really plummeted this season. The only consistency was the voice acting and visual design.
Not only does it feel like it morphed into hollow content between seasons, whats worse is that it feels like a complete waste of time now.

@theunsatisfiedconsumer Very well put. It's not a complete 180 into unenjoyable trash, but it's such a noticeable descent from the quality and vision of the first season. It seems like one of those cases of the first season being a surprisingly bigger hit than it anticipated, and then feeling pressured to tick all the boxes to maintain/increase its appeal; ultimately becoming so self conscious with its identity that it starts to lose what made it relatively good in the first place. And in the end it sacrificed that quality of writing and animation, just to shit out a season that amounted to nothing.
Very very rushed. It should be at least 30 episodes, if not more. 13 episodes is just pathetic.

@wpafbo79 this is just the first cour
Not really a continuation of the series. No attempt was made to bridge the gap from the last episode.
Not a fan of the music. It pretty much sucks compared to the original series.
Also, the after credits are really boring and not at all entertaining like the original series.

@wpafbo79 What are you talking about, you saw some of the fullbring people being brought into the show as well. They just don't show up aside from a short scene yet, which is fine.

@wpafbo79 The entire season will have 52 episodes. Kubo likes to draw characters in the entire page, so it needs less episodes to translate his manga to screen. 208 chapters in 52 episodes is 4 chapters per episode. A bit faster then normal, but a pretty normal pace for anime nowadays.
