not nearly as bad as many people are saying. Methinks a lot of the community went in hating on the season BEFORE it came out. I guarantee if the fans hadn't known of the directorial and writers changes then they would not have given it such low scores. The anime community needs to fix up, it's shameful that the series was not judged on it own merits. Only criticism is this series was dick riding the sibyl system a tad too hard, but in the end painted a more unbiased picture when standing next to season 1. Hope for great thing of the movie!
