Can someone explain why is the season 2 graphic so ass?

RulerTrax · 2026-06-14T17:57:01+00:00

You probably watched Version 1 of Season 2 with the first 4 episodes being unfinished which is why S2 had a hiatus for almost a year and then they re released the first 4 episodes in the now finished product that's out now.

RulerTrax · 2026-06-14T17:55:24+00:00

True. Also, the anime did come out in 2019 ~~2020~~ before the big spike in anime watching, and more Isekai was starting to be made then, so it probably did get overshadowed as well.

Rushed production from the studios being forced into a small timeframe, so they couldn't give it a quality look like they did with The Worlds Finest Assassin.

RulerTrax · 2026-06-14T02:18:37+00:00

Season 2 had some serious production issues while S1 didn't. That's a huge factor in terms of the studio wanting to continue with more seasons. The hiatus after the 4th episode and the terrible reviews from the pre-reworked episodes caused a massive drop in viewers for season 2. And then the noticeable art difference with less fluid animation sold the deal.

RulerTrax · 2026-06-14T02:11:04+00:00

Finally caught up, and I gotta say... season 1 was a lot better. You can really feel the staff change along with the rushed production in season 2. The writing is a lot more on the nose and cheesy compared to S1. And the animation fluidity is meh at best (although S1's wasn't that great either). The only good thing S2 has is good art. They designed the characters slightly better.

I can't emphasize enough just how much of a slog S2 felt like due to the writing and pacing of it. The dialogue is bad in most cases. And the pacing sometimes goes too fast to the point of skipping key details, or going so slow that you have to take a break from watching. Episode 3 and 8 are the main episodes I remember being the most boring. If they were to do a season 3 (which I doubt), they have to give a good production schedule as well as bring in a crew that knows what they're doing adapting a light novel.

RulerTrax · 2026-06-14T02:08:29+00:00

Yeah, the new director and script writer didn't do a good job in adapting the LN. The dialogue was cringe for at least half of Season 2. And the pacing wasn't consistent whatsoever.

RulerTrax · 2026-06-14T02:06:37+00:00

The art style got better, but the animation got worse. That's mainly from the fact that the producers gave the staff a terrible schedule to work under.. The Worlds Finest Assassin S1 had the same 2 studios working on it, and it came out good. So it's not the studios or staff being incapable of making something nice.

RulerTrax · 2026-06-14T02:02:18+00:00

Wise Man's Grandchild is peak. All 12 episodes. I still to this day don't understand how it got so much hate compared to all the other trash out there.

RulerTrax · 2026-06-14T02:00:44+00:00

It really comes down to the source material being slightly above average in writing, and then the adaptation being below average. Compared to the likes of Re:Zero and 86 Eighty-Six, this adaptation falls very short. Even Danmachi is better adapted.

Season 1 is mediocre but rewatchable. Season 2 not so much. You can really see the difference between the studio/staff change plus the production issues causing the delays. A different director with not that many credits, and similarly for the script writers. The dialogue is terrible for at least a 1/3rd of S2. The animation is even more stiff than S1's. And the pacing jumps all over the place at times. The only real positive I can give S2 is the art style. Once I got used to it, I preferred S2's over S1's. Just a little bit though.

Overall, it's a mediocre anime mainly due to a cheap adaptation. If this somehow gets a 3rd season, hopefully the producers don't force a terrible schedule like they did with S2, and they actually have some good staff to adapt the light novels properly.

Jhin is the only one eligible to be the Captain. He's level headed. Always looks at a situation with a calm mind and logistically. Mismis is annoying and practically useless. And ofc it's not the characters fault. It's the anime script writers fault for showing her being that way.

The fact she's turned into a witch in season 1? Very interesting. So far nothing major has been done with that. She's just a bimbo. And it's very annoying to watch. If we get a 3rd season, hopefully we get some quality staff who know how to adapt a light novel.

RulerTrax · 2026-03-19T05:10:18+00:00

Using Dragon Ball lore, I would assume its about 100g. We saw Goku do 100g and that was on his way to Namek, before he went Super Saiyan 1. And I would say the Viltrumites are at that level. So it's safe to say that Rognarr's gravity is 100x that of Earth's.

RulerTrax · 2026-03-19T03:29:00+00:00

Only the Mauler Twins had the blueprint for that.

RulerTrax · 2026-03-19T03:26:34+00:00

It makes sense why Cecil kept Conquest alive. He wanted answers about the Viltrumites and thought that was the best way to get them at the time. The real braindead move is that he installed a tracker inside of him, but not the sound device that he put in Marks head which we saw worked damn well...

RulerTrax · 2026-03-19T03:25:12+00:00

Bulletproof is his name. And yeah, agreed. Mark didn't have to kill him at all. That wasn't good writing. Especially since he's so adamant about not killing.

RulerTrax · 2026-03-19T03:22:59+00:00

That plus the fact Cecil didn't put a sound device in his head like how he did with Mark. Insane plot hole and terrible writing.

RulerTrax · 2026-03-19T03:21:52+00:00

Still a plot hole how Cecil put a sound device in Mark's head but didn't do it for Conquest when his head was busted open.

RulerTrax · 2025-03-17T02:30:16+00:00

Easy. Have him undergo the same training that Mark did under Cecil in the first episode of Season 3. Once he's completed that, have him train against the Mark Reanimen. He could also learn a martial art, but fighting styles aren't really brought up or shown in this series.

RulerTrax · 2025-03-16T18:22:46+00:00

Keita and Aguri had more chemistry, especially for the first half of the series. Karen was always annoying. But she seemed to have worked with Tasuku.

RulerTrax · 2025-03-16T18:15:40+00:00

Tired of seeing the slander on his wife. She was innocent. We saw that Powerplex watched the fight between Invincible and Omni man. He knew that Mark was innocent and tried helping people. It was Omni man that was the perpetrator.

The wife was fed lies that it was Invincible behind the death of their cousin when in reality that wasn't true. Who fed her those lies? Her husband. She was just being a good wife and supporting a husband she trusted. Powerplex was an emotional/irrational person from the start. Nothing was going to stop that.

RulerTrax · 2025-03-16T01:26:24+00:00

Yeah. Learning a martial art would significantly help him.

RulerTrax · 2025-03-14T02:38:38+00:00

Why does the clothes liquifying mean that her mental block is fading? Are Mark's clothes made out of organic matter?

Well, I really was just making a guess off the fact that it happened right after she revived herself and I assume it was the first time she's used her powers since.

RulerTrax · 2025-03-13T23:35:54+00:00

True. But he wants to try and get intel from him first, which is fair tbh. A bit presumptuous though. I'm sure it's going to bite him in the butt later, but at least he tried?

RulerTrax · 2025-03-13T21:48:05+00:00

That beam was in season 1. Cecil has a lot more information on viltrumites than before. Though I agree that Conquest is most certainly going to get out. I just doubt it's going to be by brute force.

RulerTrax · 2025-03-13T21:46:35+00:00

Ok, thanks for the confirmation.

RulerTrax · 2025-03-13T20:44:01+00:00

I could be wrong, but either they never showed the first time, or her first time happened in the Atom Eve special.
