I gave this one 8, even though I gave the first season a 9. Actually, it is very good, and it is just the continuation of the first season, however until this 13th episode we never heard anything shallow like "I don't lose hope on humanity." What? When the topic has come to this? I am talking about what Abe no Seimei said to the Black King. There was no need for such a speech. I was watching this series as a seinen but a shounen-like scene appeared out of nowhere. Couldn't the reason for fighting and resistance just be the main instinct of allliving beings, meanly survival? We don't need anything glittering like "hope on humankind". At least after looking at the overall air of the show, this shouldn't have appeared. I think it is a big inconsistency for the show and irritated me greatly.
Also, another great factor was that we were able to see Toyohisa for only a little bit.
