@Sleabedybarb We both know that main decision were made by Passione and whoever decided what the budget will be for this season. It wasn't a bad animation but they trimmed severly all the fights which was the core of the story. It made the show feel bland. Hayabusa Film, correct if I am wrong they mainly exist for the CGI etc

Such a waste of visual quality and character design considering how overly safe this show was, unless we get some baddies in s2, I can't say I'm hype

@Yubisoft This isn't Passione, it's Passione x Hayabusa Film, aka it's Passione outsourcing everything to that shit studio

S1 was extremely watered down version and low budget production and was nothing compared to the source material, not even close. The only reason this sudden S2 announcement makes sense is that they already has s2 planned. I expected to be last person to say this as a Passione fanboy but they did a bad job with this one. Basically only the models that have such cleans designs are the best thing in this production. S1 of this series makes me very worried about a certain upcoming s2
