This is highly disappointing. Everything I took in from the first season was an incredible comedy that was serious, but not too serious; and frequently misconceived by many as something else. But, this was a joke. Right off the bat, they repeat the same plot and the theme song is just the original with a slightly updated violin theme and visuals. Did not mind that too much since I normally do not care for most opening and closing credits of anime, anyway. But, HOW can the humor and quality drop so much? It seems like they sacrificed their decent writing, excellent comedy and more just to improve theanimation; leaving in the fight scenes to be the parts to look forward to now.

But, it turned into a generic comedy EXTREMELY quick. They actually changed the design of one of the characters and only voice actors of Jubei and Sai returned in the dub. The other characters themselves also underwent significant, unnecessary personality adjustments.

I am glad I did not impulse on getting this one too, because it disappoints right off the bat. It started out good and the improved animation was very nice, but as soon as I heard the new voice actors something felt off. And, just like that, everything got worse as it progressed.

I do not recommend this at all, but if you saw this first, do not judge its prior season; which is a million times better. Give that a go and end it there, as that one already ended on a good enough note and had beautiful composition in some areas as well. It is worth watching, but not its sequel.
