This feels kind of unfair given the season isn’t finished, but we haven’t gotten official word on when we’re getting more so I figured why not.

So what are everyone’s opinions on this first half?

I’m gonna shit on it a little bit here, but it seems like people are enjoying it so please don’t interpret this as an attack on everyone else.

I loved season 1, I’d probably give it an 8-9/10, but something about this season so far has felt incredibly off to me. I don’t necessarily have a problem with any particular plot point, but rather the actual “quality” of the production.

The animation has been quite bad, I get that it’s always been simple, but this last episode in particular really made it stick out to me. There was so little impact in some of the important scenes that it made it hard to feel tension that I think I was supposed to, for instance when the 3 soldiers first arrive and strike down on the planet.

More concerning than the animation though, my main complaint is with the writing/direction of dialogue. Sometimes it’s good, I can’t think of any big problems I had with last episode for instance, but many scenes with amber, the guardians, and sometimes mark have felt very stilted and poorly edited. The voice acting is also strangely inconsistent.

Anyway, those are my thoughts about this season right now. Sorry to shit on it here, but I can’t find any other online discussions about it and I was very excited for this season. Right now I’m at like a 6-7/10, but hopefully I enjoy the second half more.
