Fucking second season threw all the good stuff the first season had and all the character development, just to turn itself into the blandest moe-romance ever devised by a nip mind.
Watching the last episode of the first season when they turned back to her fantasies I raged a little at first, but ultimately thought "ok maybe it was done to give that fantasy a proper closure, at least that's better than the argument they had under a tree at the festival".
But upon watching the second season's first episode, it became clear that it was done to return to a status quo of sorts, to keep milking the characters.

It seemed to me as though every plot point was paced ponderously and lacked impact, with the exception of the scene where all the Tachikoma die. This was especially apparent during the final episode, when they kill Goda. I had no anticipation of it, and it left me with an empty feeling, like nothing leading up to that point had given it any weight.

I'll never watch anything besides the first season of chuunibyou. To me the ending message was that it's ok to be chuuni as long as you grow out of it when you don't need the delusions anymore, just do it at your own pace. I know season 2 destroys that and I don't want none of that.
>>763471
Second gig was alright, it's worse than the first one but it doesn't ruin it or anything like chuunibiyou does.
Not exactly a second season kind of deal (I think), but the last time I ever had anything to do with Bleach was when I was 15 or so, I watched the end of the soul society arc and stopped right there. To me Ichigo rescued Rukia and they lived happily ever after and that's how Bleach ends. I'm fairly sure this is better than what actually happened in the manga.

Log Horizon. First season wasn't phenomenal, but it was fairly unique what with dealing with politics, economics and technological developments at least on a bare minimum level. Then second season was one raid and the kids dicking about for 25 episodes.
Nisekoi S2 was a mess too, S1 might've been a generic shitty harem romcom, but at least it had some structure and vaguely appeared to be going somewhere, S2 had none of that, just 12 episodes of harem antics.

I wouldn't go as far as to say to ignore it, but the second season of Uchouten Kazoku was not as good as the first. The second season has a large focus on a relatively uninteresting character (Nidaime) and Souun's role in the first season was stronger than his reprise in the second.

Finished season 1 not too long ago. I was surprised by how much I liked it. Not the most original cyberpunk in the world and some of the episodes were a little rough around the edges (especially the one about Yayoi). But the presentation pulled me in and the character dynamics and contrasts fit with the themes presented. Everybody says season 2 is awful, but I'm still really curious about it. It's only 11 episodes after all, so might as well give it a shot. Can't be that bad... right? It is genuinely awful isn't it?

I'm still butthurt over Brave Witches. Strike Witches 1 was fantastic, II was great, and then nothing but the movies. I was ecstatic because Brave Witches was my favorite squad going by their descriptions and designs. A grouchy bulldog girl, a cute glutton, a womanizer, an angry bear woman, and a cuddle bunny; what could go wrong?
Then came the 2 new OC donut steel girls, which aside from attractive designs screwed with the dynamic, I wanted Naoe to be the MC and have a reckless girl who punches Neuroi as the main girl, or the cuddle bunny at least. The CGI was awful and abused of it, the first two seasons had it but only for far-away shots but kept it 2D for cameltoe shots and all the damn dogfights.

S2 was worth it if only just for the few minutes of watching Mika get mind-broken by the truth, that made suffering her presence up to that point feel almost okay. Completely agree it felt like a sequel though, or at least maybe more like most of the meaningful developments of S1 were regressed.
>>763614
Note, I haven't watched it yet since usually I wait until there's BDs or at least something that isn't HS before watching a show. I don't mind if it isn't as good as the first, but it's a bit disappointing to hear Souun makes a reappearance at all, I thought they handled his role really well and that his exile was cathartic enough to everyone involved that he didn't need to show up again.

It easily could have been remembered as one of the best Harem anime to air, but we get this abomination that had no idea what S1 was like, or otherwise outright denied it's existence.
S1 was a great comedy, a great Harem with a MC that, from the outset, worked to have the Harem End or nothing, and it had great romance between him and every girl individually. It was more than a comedy, a Harem, or a romance, it was a full, comedic, sentimental experience that I can't praise highly enough.

To me, it was more the fact that Psycho-Pass was just a well-contained and finished story in season one. It simply didn't need anything else to be said. You had the full circle of Akane starting out as a wide-eyed rookie at episode one to Akane being a mentor figure at the very last episode, but the way she introduces the thought-criminal brigade is completely different than what she was given as an introduction, giving a sense of hope and optimism for the future. It had every character achieve a fitting closure for their stories.
Season 2 simply wasn't needed at all, and was clearly not intended, because its overarching plot was just a massive contrivance. Watch it, it's okay in the sense that it does not manage to ruin very solid groundwork laid down by season one (remember, a complete, sufficient story with an ending).
I liked the movie, though, even with half of it being in ear-grating engrish, because what the fuck, it's future Philippines after all, and I found the ending particularly satisfying in a wicked way, because it was more about Akane's principle itself existing in the world, rather than forcing the world live it. If the world chooses to discard it, so be it, but at least it's with their own free will.

Then season 2 happened, then Aya Hirano happened, and now everybody -- and I mean absolutely fucking everybody -- has washed their hands of it and shut the door. Haruhi is NOTHING.
It's almost comical and poetic. I could see it being the plot to some show where the villain is Aya Hirano and her unstoppable empire, and at the end justice is served and her entire empire collapses to dust and even the lowest scum looks down on her.

I think the closest would be the Bleach manga, albeit over a longer period of time. It went from the big 3, featured on most covers of Shounen Jump, a large fanbase, some nice artwork, to not even in the top 10, barely featured on the cover of Shounen Jump, and when it did it was when all the other mangas were featured, a farcry of it's original fanbase, a bleached(heh) background and the author was given just 3 issues to finish his story, before getting it canceled.

That wasn`t the smartest shit ever but the show wasn`t trying to confuse you, it`s heavily implied along the show that the Hekmatyar family has monopoly over sea based trade, being one of the older groups that sells weapons they fell behind when the technology age came and the airs became a reliable route for weapon merchants, by disabling air traffic means their family will literally control the flow of weapons worldwide, picking and choosing what countries will fight with each other (by countries i mean the small ones on violent parts of the world, their primary market ) Koko somehow believes she can gradually diminish war and bring lasting peace to these places.
It also works thematically: Jörmungandr in the norse mythology is the Wolrd Serpent, a SEA serpent, she can swallow the whole world but can never reach the skies because it doesn`t have wings. Koko mentions that early in the series.

Not entirely sure what I feel about the second season. On one hand seeing Akane being test is great and all, but I feel like it blew its load way too quickly with Kami or Kamui or whatever his name was being revealed from the start and the relationship between the enforcers and the inspectors not being as likable as the first season. Also Togane just irked me and that entire storyline fucking sucked. Also also, whatever happened to enforcers being an enforce on will(non lethal paralyzer)? How the fuck are Kami and the inspector in red able to mow down enforcers like it's nothing? Also the music wasn't as great as the first season or the movie. There's that one track with the trumpets that plays whenever Kogami and Makshima are fighting and it's fucking amazing, not to mention all the great ambient tracks and techno that plays in various parts of the show.
