Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2202: Ai no Senshi-tachi (2017) I think people need to calm down, it really isn't as bad as people think. Yes, it has a lot of copy-and-paste space fights but then the source it is based off is ancient compared to the shows people compare it with. The story I can admit was a bit heart-gushing compared to the previous one and is effectively the exact same storyline essentially but with a more powerful enemy. An enemy let us not forget in the first season that was held on a prison planet as weak now are coming from this absolutely unstoppable force. Artisticallyspeaking the show is just a more polished version of what we got before but that isn't bad since it makes the show bearable and not like watching something completely different. Seeing the new city and the old city used was a nice touch comparing the 2 seasons. I will say especially towards the end how the city on earth looks almost exactly the same as Atlantis from the Stargate Atlantis series, like literally an anime version of the CGI city with people living in it. Or maybe Stargate copied the design from the source here, who knows in the end.

The sound was pretty good, and a variety of SFX from battles along with the sometimes striking art was really great.

The characters were interesting and yet the same. Since it was essentially more or less the same show it was difficult to really get sucked into the stories. That said you do get some surprising events that happen along with a pretty rushed end.

With how the show ended I was left wanting more from the enemy, not just develop 0-100 in 2 seconds. It is a pretty enjoyable show all things said though.

8/10.
