Aldonoah Zero 2nd Season

And here we go into the second round, full of lack of creativity, lack of motivation, and horrible scenery.

And the best thing that could convince me at the beginning of the anime was lost. First and foremost, the plot became even more monotonous, the characters lost their remaining charm, the protagonist became even more powerful and the fights lost their creativity, which they possessed in the first season.

[Story 2]

Slain wants to play the glorious antihero, without any real approach and this he does. But instead of it becoming fascinating, none of that happens. He does boring things, throwing around contentless dialogues. There is fighting. The protagonist now shows his new omnipotent ability and massacres all his opponents.

Only the last 5 minutes of the anime, I found just so entertaining.

[Characters 3]

The princess is in a coma for 70% of the anime and is good for practically nothing until the end.
Slain is an empty shell of a classic failed antihero, who probably couldn't even convince himself.
The rest of the enemies are clichés and cannon fodder to show how powerful the protagonist is.
[The] The Protagonist, with his new eye, is practically an oversized god of war who uses his orange training robot to send every opponent to paradise with a side slap.

The supporting characters had no screentime at all, except for some fan service and irrelevant small talk.

[Animations 7]

The animations possessed the same level as in the first season. Successful and dynamic CGI. Good background animations and visually pleasing.

[Music 5]

The intro is worse than in the first season, but the rest remained the same. As well as the fact that once again they don't understand how to use the music properly and thus couldn't create a single climax. Since the same music played almost from the beginning to the end, it damaged the atmosphere a lot.

[Conclusion]

Aldonoah Zero is merely a visually and musically appealing work, which could hardly show any strengths in terms of content and failed all along the line.

Honestly, I wondered at first why the ratings were so low, even though the first 2 episodes were quite attractive. However, I was able to realize quickly enough how wrong I was and what was in store for me.
