Paced quickly, nothing ever lingers or over stays its welcome. This season maximizes the set-up and progression of the main characters to it's fullest, putting them in situations where they bounce off nicely each other or where they can show growth that feels earned after season one. It's everything a second season should be. But apart from how it relates to the first season, it's own achievements are worth mention. For a 25 episode show, characters never looked off model and animation remained smooth in most all moments. The season introduces many new characters, some that feel like are set up for a third season.The OST while more than just satisfactory isn't the most memorable part of the show. Most of the best auditory moments are from the sounds of running, the ball or the net, the show displays good sound design throughout the many matches in the show.

As a short note on the ending, without spoilers, it was a satisfying ending, one that felt very appropriate. The only detriment to it is the lack of a season three. Enough loose threads are left open that a season three would be much appreciated and only to the shows benefit, yet without it the show ended in a satisfying way that leaving it there isn't an issue.
