I just finished act 1 and was wondering what the community thinks of it. I thought it was good, but a step down from season 1.
The animation is as gorgeous as ever, maybe even better than season 1. The writing and pacing was kind of messy, though. The music was just overzealous too. They have a random music video with cheesy lyrics in each episode now. Just ruined the mood for me a couple of times.
I ended up binging it today. I do think the pacing was a bit quick, but I don’t think it was too hard to follow.
Mainly I think it helps if you’re coming right off of season 1, since it plays out almost like an act 4 with how immediately it just keeps going with the plot.
I loved the music choices, too, for what it’s worth. It does a lot visually/atmospherically that exposition alone wouldn’t be able to cover. But I guess it helps more if you like the actual music.
