Granblue Fantasy The Animation Season 2 (2019) Continuation of season 1 with links and references to the games. The story does progress quite far from the first season but this is a typical case of trying to change the pace and it doesn't work. The first season was suspenseful with plenty of moments on the edge of the seat with revelations and events happening. The OVA's were a great twist with the female choice main character. Season 2 however, just doesn't bring anything new to the table nor does it do it as well as the first season. The story this time round has a grainy feelto it in that it just doesn't pick up at the level the first season did and this is a great shame because it is still a good show. It feels in areas that it is a bit dragged out without much need.

The art is the same and I really do like it. I enjoy the older style backgrounds with more modern animation layered on top.

The OP and ED are as fun as ever and the sounds during the show are good.

Characters do get a lot more development than before and we see more into the main cast. Learning a bit more about the black knight was great albeit not really explained much.

The show this time around is enjoyable but not quite to the same standard. It started out as a 9 in expectations but fell down to a 7 for me. Hopefully, if they continue the series they will sort this.

I also feel like many plot devices would be solved with the Grandcypher just has a few weapons on it.
