The second season is much better than the first. While the new characters were fine, I still prefer the original cast, which made me uneasy about how the old characters were treated. The pacing of the season was acceptable, and the opening and ending songs were okay, though they weren't particularly memorable. There was an improvement in animation and sound quality, and the voice cast's performances were solid. However, the portrayal of the villains was weak, similar to the first season. The battle system was a bit confusing and complicated, but that didn't bother me much. Overall, I would recommend it if you don't haveanything else to watch, but it's essential to watch the first season before diving into this one.
