This season really felt like it was actually Hypmic. The story was done well, and it truly felt like what Hypmic was all about with the tragic story and interesting conflict throughout the anime. It was cool to see how they slowly showed our antagonist in the anime and having all the divisions share the same problem, which leads us to the introduction of Osaka and Nagoya. It was a good way to help new fans learn about these two divisions. Not only that, but it was also a good choice to hint certain points of most of the characters pasts so that new fansbecome interested and current fans enjoy seeing the reference. Unlike the first season, where they just easily gave the information away in an awkward sense since it was brought up by Tom rather than Ichiro. That would make more sense to talk about it with one of the boys in their perspective, rather than some stranger or new character bringing it up. The first season can explain the past events of the story, but I'm glad the second hinted it, so new fans can become further interested. The new characters they added actually made sense to add. Akira and Satoru were actually explained and seemed more important to the events that took place. Kaibyakumon also was a great antagonist to the story, as his past made sense to what led to now. It was a good idea to have him cause so much disaster before dying, since there wasn't anything else to do after the loss of his company and friends. Also, they did great reintroducing us to the boys with the beginning episodes showing the boys we met in the first season then introducing the new characters that are actual characters that got added later in the franchise. Overall, there were no issues from what they showed. Besides, trying to show Secret Aliens again at the end, proving once again that they were not needed. This felt like the Hypmic I know, and it really was what probably some fans expected the anime to be like. It was way more enjoyable to watch compared to the first season as this still had the same slice of life aspect with some fun and jokes like usual. This time, with an interesting story, and way better songs.
