Review of The Ancient Magus' Bride Season 2

I really enjoyed the first season of Magnus Bride and I was looking forward to this season. I did not dislike this season but there were times where I would not say I liked it either. The pacing at times felt sluggish and while the characters were still enjoyable, switching the setting from exploring the world to being confined primarily to school really robbed season two of some of the high points of season one. Of course there is still world building and intrigue, but I did get bored on occasion but never bored enough to disrupt my need to know what happens to Chiseand Elias next.

That said, I am open to the second part of season two because it's building off what happened at the end of part one, which was one of the pockets of interesting and exciting storytelling. Even though we will likely continue to be confined to the school setting, I'm more open to it knowing some of the stakes teased by the ending of part one.

I think that if you liked season one, this is worth the watch. I don't know if binging it would improve on some of the duller aspects or if it will make them worse since I watched this weekly.
