This episode was definitely better than the first. The artwork and animation were improved, to about average level now, considering it was below average for the first episode. Still, no one knows how to blink in this anime. The intro still has good animation and artwork, but I know not to expect that for the episodes themselves.
The story and scenes felt more like Key in this episode as well. I definitely love the new character, Komari, even if her intellect is that of a 6 year old in a fully developed high schooler body. Strangely, though, she still makes more sense than a lot of the cast right now, but I'm guessing we will get more background story eventually to explain why the characters are the way they are.
I also noticed that the anime is playing itself off like a game so far, like Masato gaining some sort of nickname status after each defeat. It also seems like missions are given, and they must complete the tast in order to move on to the next item. Add on top of that, each character is recruited one by one in a systematic way. This might be okay for a game, but seriously, this is anime and should be done that way. The flow is too game-like right now. I hope it flows better in future episodes.
